“I am extremely pleased with the high quality of delivery of the (St. Kitts Music) Festival this year. I have received nothing but positive feedback from numerous visitors and locals who could sense that St. Kitts has now established a truly world-class event.” – Senator Ricky Skerritt, Minister of Tourism and International Transport, St. Kitts and Nevis

“All-inclusive properties offer a lot to families that travel together, and that is why the Caribbean continues to be a popular destination.” – Courtney Scott, Senior Travel Editor, Travelocity (The Motley Fool)

“The two-bouncers-per-over rule [restricting the number of short-pitched balls a fast bowler can deliver] has also taken away a lot of the flair from cricket. The International Cricket Council needs to look at it again. If a fast bowler can bowl only a limited number of short balls, you’re taking away a weapon from him. If a batsman is playing the hook shot, the fast bowler needs to be able to see whether that was a fluke, or whether he is serious. Of course, the umpire should step in if the bowler is overdoing it but don’t take away the excitement. It’s so difficult for a fast bowler today”. – Sir Curtly Ambrose, West Indies Cricket Legend (CMC)

“Much like the ‘all you can eat’ buffet, our global greed for land has no consideration of long-term effects.”  – Monique Barbut, Executive Secretary, UN Convention to Combat Desertification
