🌊⛵ ARE YOU PART OF THE MARINE TOURISM VALUE CHAIN? THIS OPPORTUNITY IS FOR YOU!

The Second Call for Proposals for Window 2 of the Regional MSME Matching Grants Programme is now open, offering grants ranging from USD $100,000 to USD $150,000 to eligible Value Chain Groups in the Blue Economy.

But what exactly is a Value Chain Group?
Simply put, a Value Chain Group is a team of three or more businesses that work together to create and deliver a product, service, or experience.

For example, in the marine tourism sector, a Value Chain Group could include:
âś… A boat tour or charter operator
âś… A marina or boat maintenance service provider
âś… A waterfront restaurant, hotel, or tourism attraction

Together, these businesses create a seamless visitor experience, generate income, and strengthen the marine tourism sector.

If your group operates in the marine tourism sector in Grenada, Saint Lucia, or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, you may be eligible to apply for funding to expand operations, improve services, adopt new technologies, and build resilience.

Amid the challenges, Saint Lucia continues to report positive tourism figures for the year so far.

As of April 2026, we are pleased to report a 3.7% increase in year-to-date arrivals, indicating that Saint Lucia welcomed more visitors by April 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. It is also encouraging to note a stronger presence from both the Canadian and Caribbean markets.

While we celebrate this sustained interest in our country, we must remain optimistic given the current geopolitical climate, which can lead to unpredictable outcomes.

The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) is participating in the ongoing Adaptation Investment Pitch and Matchmaking Event (27–28 May 2026) at the Finance Administrative Centre, Pointe Seraphine, Castries.

This important regional engagement brings together development partners, private sector stakeholders, and government agencies to advance financing for Saint Lucia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) implementation.

The tourism sector, alongside education and infrastructure, has been highlighted as a key new pillar within the NAP process, underscoring its critical role in building climate resilience and supporting sustainable national development.

The Honourable John Paul Estephane, Minister in the Ministry of Tourism, was represented at the event, reaffirming the Ministry’s commitment to strengthening climate adaptation efforts within the tourism industry and advancing investment-ready projects that safeguard the sector’s future.

The SLTA continues to support this vital work as Saint Lucia positions itself to secure partnerships that will drive long-term resilience and sustainable growth for the destination.
