New energy source set to boost Caribbean tourism
21 July 2008
Tourism in the Caribbean is set to benefit from the discovery of a new energy source on the island of Nevis, according to reports.
The small isle is expected to see an increase in visitors next year when it begins to derive energy from a geo-thermal source situated in a volcanic mountain range, TravelMole reports.
A single site on the island is expected to produce enough power for Nevis and its sister island of St Kitts as well as other neighbouring locations.
Garcia Thompson-Hendrickson, head of the Nevis Tourist Board, said the island has been given an opportunity to promote high-quality, low-impact tourism.
The destination reportedly plans to promote the natural sides of its tourism industry, such as its lush environment, and will also boost awareness of its culinary culture with a food festival in October.
Nevis, which is currently one of the less well-known Caribbean islands, is located in the Lesser Antilles archipelago, about 80km west of Antigua.
