Oprah Winfrey Recommends St. Lucia
The world famous Heritage Site, Pitons has received a major publicity boost through a mention on the popular Oprah Winfrey Show.
The show is seen by millions of viewers in the United States - a significant market for St. Lucia, accounting for nearly 30% of visitor arrivals.
This value of this level of exposure simply cannot be quantified, as the Pitons was named one of the five best places in the world to visit. It was number one.
A True Hot Spot, the Pitons, two volcanic spires that shoot out of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, were named a United Nations World Heritage Site – which puts them in a class with the most spectacular protected ecologies in the world. Untouched coral reefs, tropical forests, and an active geothermal field with bubbling mud and clear hot springs are all accessible on guided hikes that can be arranged through your hotel. Stay at one of the many great resorts, which range from the earthy luxury of Anse Chastanet to the breathtaking Ladera Resort.
The St. Lucia Tourist Board is pleased with this development as it adds impetus to on-going marketing efforts to make St. Lucia a preferred tourist destination.
