St. Kitts kicked of the New Year by successfully hosting The Opus Group’s 14th Annual Leadership Summit, a business networking event that connects buyers and suppliers together in an informal environment to foster business development in unique destinations.
St. Kitts hosted this prestigious business networking event, to showcase the island as a prime location for meeting, incentive, corporate and event travel.
"For the past ten years or so we have been climbing the learning curve of your industry and I am happy to say that we now understand and embrace the quality and excellence required by your clients.
"We appreciate their desires to travel to destinations that offer authentic experiences, a rich heritage and a lush natural setting in order to restore their sense of balance and well-being. We now have the ability to deliver the substantive and meaningful experiences your clients demand, including through interactions with another culture." Minister of Tourism, Senator Ricky Skerritt
In addition to the daily business networking event itself, the nearly 80 participating corporate travel planners were treated to nightly dinners and VIP receptions at island establishments including Nirvana Restaurant at Fairview Great House and Botanical Gardens, The Pavilion Beach Club at Christophe Harbour, Belle Mont Farm at Kittitian Hill and Carambola Beach Club.
