ST. EUSTATIUS--St. Eustatius recently received the prestigious Green Destinations QualityCoast Silver Award.
The island will be honoured during an interactive ceremony along with other recently honoured destinations, during the sixth edition of the Global Green Destinations Days virtual conference, which is taking place October 4-7.
Director of Tourism Charles Lindo said this award will continue to generate media publicity regionally and internationally, while Green Destinations’ sustainability-based marketing efforts will increase Statia’s “green profile” and destination Statia will benefit significantly from this achievement.
Green Destinations promotes honoured destinations as the most attractive for visitors interested in nature and landscape, environment and cultural identity. It highlights destinations’ noteworthy performances in creating a quality tourism product with sustainability at its core.
Lindo said that QualityCoast and Green Destinations-awarded destinations join a network of like-minded communities, where experiences and best practices are shared to improve sustainability and social responsibility in tourism.
“Statia is thrilled to be part of this group that shows care for the planet. We are proud to have achieved this award and look forward to welcoming the environmentally-conscious travellers who will be coming to our island to experience what we have to offer,” Lindo said.
