St. Lucia Top Caribbean destination in Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards

ST. LUCIA, West Indies – Earlier this month, the island of St. Lucia was awarded the top Caribbean destination in the 2006 annual Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards.

The award recipients were chosen by Travel Weekly readers, a collection of agents, industry marketing executives and CEO’s of the world’s largest travel companies throughout North America. These travel industry leaders visited the Travel Weekly website and voted to select just 12 resorts and 103 suppliers as finalists in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards competition.

Called the Emerald Isle for its majestic mountains, lush rainforest and secluded waterfalls, St. Lucia was chosen out of a pool of five Caribbean destination finalist that included St. Lucia, Aruba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
