SAINT LUCIA – The Saint Lucia Tourist Board has launched its annual travel agent incentive program, Saint Lucia Agent Months, otherwise known as SLAM.

Created to showcase the destination to visiting travel agents, SLAM runs through Nov. 30,2 016 and includes booking incentives and special rates on accommodations.

The tourist board has planned a wide range of tours, land and sea excursions, and is inviting agents to enjoy authentic island cuisine and participate in planned site inspections of award-winning hotels.

“Saint Lucia Agent Months are back by popular demand,” said Tracey Warner Arnold, deputy director of Tourism for the Saint Lucia Tourist Board.

“Travel agents appreciate the flexibility to explore and enjoy the island as their clients would, which ultimately helps travel agents create memorable vacations, honeymoons and even weddings for their clients.”

Agents can save 70% off flights via WestJet Vacations when they book and travel by Dec. 15, 2016 (blackout dates apply). Air Canada Vacations will provide agents $500 economy class flights from Toronto from Nov. 5 through Dec. 12, 2016.

Discount fares are applicable for the travel agent and one travel companion.
