AIR CANADA RESUMES SERVICE FROM TORONTO TO ST. KITTS
Weekly Nonstop Flights Continue Through Apr. 24, 2022
Basseterre, St. Kitts (Dec. 2021) – Air Canada returned to St. Kitts marking the first time in over a year. The full flight of vaccinated visitors was another welcome boost for tourism adding to the twin-island Federations’ record cruise tourism, which has seen a steady stream of ship arrivals including a record of 21 ships visiting across the island’s four ports last week. Earlier this month, the destination announced that fully vaccinated international travellers (age 12 and older) arriving into the Federation are no longer required to test upon arrival or Vacation in Place (quarantine) for 24-hours, adding to the ease in travelling directly on the weekly flight departing Toronto via Air Canada. Air Canada will continue to fly every Sunday to St. Kitts through April 24, 2022.
The destination’s strong tourism protocols, which include a phased approach to tourism recovery and a Travel Approved Certification program for taxis/tours, attractions, excursions, restaurants, bars and vendors, coupled with a population that has strongly embraced vaccination (currently 75% are fully vaccinated), has enabled St. Kitts to confidently reopen to tourism. “Canadian visitors seeking a destination that recognizes health and safety comes first and yet also appreciates they want and deserve a relaxing getaway, will find this and more in St. Kitts,” said Racquel Brown, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority. “We look forward to welcoming back our Canadian visitors over the coming months, who will enjoy our quintessential Caribbean experience that truly engages their senses on every level.”
Currently only vaccinated travellers may visit St. Kitts and Nevis with all travellers required to submit a negative RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours of travel to the destination. Exemptions are in place for Citizens and Residents of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and also for children 11 and under who are accompanying their fully vaccinated parents or guardians. Visitors are reminded to regularly check the St. Kitts Tourism Authority (www.stkittstourism.kn) and Nevis Tourism Authority (www.nevisisland.com) websites for updates and information.
