The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority (SVGTA) has unveiled a Diamond Rewards Program, an initiative designed to recognize and reward travel advisors who passionately promote the destination.
The initiative was announced during a June 5 Destination Update luncheon hosted by Carols James, the destination’s minister of tourism in New York as part of the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Caribbean Week.
The Diamond Rewards Program underscores SVGTA’s commitment to strengthening relationships within the global travel trade while also showcasing the St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG)’s unmatched beauty, authenticity and charm.
The program’s launch comes as SVG is experiencing unprecedented recognition and growth as a must-visit Caribbean destination.
The SVG has achieved milestones including JetBlue’s direct service from New York to Argyle International Airport, Air Canada’s year-round service to the destination and the debut of luxury resorts including Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which have significantly enhanced the destination’s appeal to travelers from North America and Europe.
“Travel advisors are an essential part of our tourism success story,” said Minister James. “With the launch of the Diamond Rewards Program, we are deepening our engagement with key stakeholders as part of our strategic focus on business development within the travel trade and creating meaningful incentives for those who help share the story of our islands,” he said. “As we continue to grow, this program reflects our appreciation for their ongoing commitment and partnership.”
Open to licensed travel advisors in the U.S., Canada and Europe, the Diamond Rewards Program invites participants to complete the SVGTA’s specialist training courses and commence logging their bookings and flights.
Through the platforms, advisors will gain access to a range of exclusive benefits that include:
- Exclusive Rewards: From luxurious travel experiences and branded merchandise to high-profile recognition.
- The Diamond Awards: A flagship annual event honoring top-performing advisors with prestigious prizes and accolades in SVG.
- Ongoing Education: Access to in-depth training modules that highlight the destination’s unique and diverse offerings.
Running from July 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, the inaugural program is designed to empower advisors to inspire clients to explore the idyllic beaches, rich culture and exhilarating eco-adventures that define SVG.
“The Diamond Rewards Program is more than an incentive, it is a symbol of our gratitude and a strategic investment in our most passionate advocates,” said SVGTA CEO Annette Mark. “We have created a program that empowers advisors with the tools, knowledge and rewards they need to confidently sell our destination. This is just the beginning of a more robust and collaborative future with the travel trade.”
