‘Seven Minutes in Saint Lucia’ Series

As the world adjusts to the new reality of life under social distancing and self-isolation in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) is inviting people to escape to Saint Lucia with a social media series that airs twice per week on Instagram.
While we can’t travel, we can escape in the comfort of our homes. Discover yoga and meditation at the Pitons, make a tropical cocktail with locally-produced Chairman’s Reserve Rum, or cook an authentic Saint Lucian dish.
UK & Europe SLTA Director Patricia Charlery-Leon said: “It’s heartening to see how people have pulled together as we all face such difficult challenges. We wanted to offer a little escape with some of the things that inspire people about our island, until the time is right to welcome people again.”
To participate, follow @TravelSaintLucia on Instagram as the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority broadcasts LIVE from sunny Saint Lucia. At the designated time, go to the @TravelSaintLucia Instagram and click the “story” in the top left corner to join live.
