NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Protravel International – one of the travel industry's leading
luxury travel agencies with an award-winning reputation – is
joining the "One Caribbean Family" Ambassador education and
awareness campaign by sharing some favorite fall and winter travel
tips from its best-in-class agents.
Together with the Caribbean
tourism industry, Protravel aims to educate travelers on a mutually
beneficial solution to show support for the Caribbean islands and help stabilize the
regional economy while clients can still enjoy an unforgettable
vacation not far from home. The areas recommended by Protravel
agents include, but are not limited to, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Nevis and Saint
Kitts, Antigua,
Saint Lucia, Barbados, and Canouan.
"Joining the 'One Caribbean Family' Ambassador campaign is
important to Protravel and to our agents who are committed to
supporting Caribbean destinations
and the economy of the entire region," said Gail Grimmett, President of Protravel
International. "Particularly for our East Coast clients, the
Caribbean is a very popular
vacation destination, in part, due to the proximity for a
long-weekend getaway, convenient flights, warm weather, and
beautiful beaches. We want to make sure travelers are aware that
over 70 percent of the destinations in the Caribbean were not affected by the recent
hurricanes and are open for business."
"As the temperatures start to drop, our Pros are happy to offer
some hot tips for great getaways," said Grimmett.
- The Bahamas – Eleuthera or
Paradise Island
"Harbour Island, Eleuthera, is my
favorite quiet island with beautiful bright pink sand beaches along
its eastern shore. Travelers can enjoy horseback riding on the
beach, diving, boat charters to other small islands, and good
food." – Diane Beber,
Protravel (Miami, FL)
"Another great place in the
Caribbean is the One & Only
Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas – it is completely renovated and
simply beautiful!" – Ann St
Hilaire, Protravel (New York,
NY)
"When visiting the Caribbean, my favorite resort is Tortuga Bay
Resort & Club in the Dominican
Republic, which just reopened on November 1 after a complete renovation. Its
luxurious beachfront villas offer privacy and its oceanfront golf
courses, breathtaking panoramic ocean views. In the Dominican Republic, resorts did not sustain
hurricane damage and the area offers great activities for the
entire family."– Ann St
Hilaire, Protravel (New York,
NY)
"Both, St. Kitts and Nevis, are great destinations
for a warm getaway in the fall or winter with the entire family or
just your partner. Nevis is the
smaller of the two islands and known for its old-style charm and
beautiful beaches, but also for being very green. Saint Kitts is great for active travelers who
want to discover its rainforest mountains or for visitors who want
to enjoy their time on the beaches of white, gray, and black sands.
Opening in November, Park Hyatt St.
Kitts is an ultra-luxury hotel in the heart of Banana Bay."
– Denise Bonnici,
Protravel (New York, NY)
"Antigua has it all: sightseeing, museums,
nightlife, water sports, wildlife adventures, and relaxation. I
recommend a stay at Jumby Bay Island, Antigua, for the unique private island setting
amid tropical foliage and pristine white beaches and the colorful
starfish that come so close to shore. The resort is known for its
fabulous villas with private pools and its exceptional food." –
Paula Rybacki, Protravel
(Florida Keys)
"Saint
Lucia offers travelers a memorable high-end luxury
experience and a variety of boutique accommodations. It is the
perfect island for adventurers and hiking enthusiasts with its
tapered mountains, the Pitons, on its west coast, volcanic beaches,
and trails leading through the rainforest to some of its
magnificent waterfalls. An absolute must to be able to get around
the island: a rental car." – Elaine Pesky, Protravel
(New York, NY)
"Travelers should consider a trip
to Barbados, a cruise-ship port
with colonial buildings, great beaches, botanical gardens, where
they can enjoy afternoon tea, the national sport, cricket, or visit
the Harrison's Cave formation. Barbados is known for its white and pink sand
beaches, laid back atmosphere, and touch of British gentility. For
clients who desire to stay at a boutique hotel, the Colony Club is
a great choice and provides wonderful ambience, fine food, service,
and tennis courts." – Loesken Vanderpoel, Protravel
(Chicago, IL)
"The small Caribbean island of Canouan, belonging to St.
Vincent and the Grenadines, is a
great vacation destination with its beautiful white beaches and
calm waters just 20 minutes from Barbados. The island is small and the perfect
place for a romantic getaway to relax and rejuvenate your senses. I
recommend a stay at the Pink Sands Club, which is a romantic and
glamorous luxury beach hotel with five-star dining and stunning
ocean views." – Frank
Toth, Protravel (New York,
NY)
