SVGTA Picks VoX International as Official Representative in Canada

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority (SVGTA) has selected VoX International as their public relations and communications representative in Canada. VoX, a leader in travel and tourism marketing, will be managing media relations and day-to-day operations for the Canadian market.

Air Canada Vacations offers a number of holidays to St. Vincent, taking guests to a series of lovely resorts and hotels.

The destination is poised to welcome more Canadians in 2018 with direct air service, the opening of its new International airport, exciting festivals as well as life-changing experiences that can’t be found anywhere else.

In addition, VoX will be hosting a number of media familiarization trips to the islands, offering journalists an exciting first-hand experience of the destination.

With the recent opening of the Caribbean’s most anticipated airport and direct flights from Toronto on Air Canada, the Argyle International Airport on St. Vincent will be welcoming Canadian travelers to explore the many adventures of St. Vincent and The Grenadines’ 32 idyllic islands and cays.

Among unspoiled natural attractions and luxurious hideaways, the destination is ready to impress and embrace visitors; from hiking along the mountainous Vermont Nature Trail, kite surfing on Union Island, to diving in a bat cave and swimming in a crater of the La Soufriere volcano, the adventures cater to any traveler’s tastes.

South of the largest island St. Vincent, The Grenadines (including the island of Mayreau, pictured here) are strung across more than 60 kilometers of typically tranquil waters, making these pristine seas prized for sailing, diving and snorkeling.

Yachting and sailing enthusiasts come to St. Vincent from around the world to explore and enjoy the secluded bays and lagoons with turquoise seas and powder white sand beaches and therapeutic black sand beaches.

Showcasing some of the best marina facilities in the world, the US $250 million Glossy Bay Marina recently opened on Canouan, which has set the bar for future marine development in the region.

The destination’s diving and snorkeling is ranked among the best in the world. A must for under water enthusiasts is Tobago Cays, five sibling islands (Petit Rameau, Baradel, Petit Bateau, Jamesby and Petit Tabac) surrounded and shielded by an enormous horseshoe reef, fostering some of the most vibrant, colourful and diverse ecosystems of undersea life you can find anywhere in the Caribbean.

Blessed with fertile volcanic soil, the islands offer visitors an array of locally grown fruits, vegetables and spices which enhance the exquisite local cuisine. Specialties include seafood callaloo soup, roasted breadfruit and fried jack fish.

Festivals and events are year-round. During Easter, visitors and locals join in the excitement of the highly competitive yacht racing action of the Bequia Easter Regatta - taking place for the last 35 years this is now an internationally acclaimed sailing event. Then, for ten days from the last Friday in June, the country celebrates the “Hottest carnival in Caribbean with Vincy Mas.
