The St. Kitts Sustainable Destination Council (SDC) is an advisory body consisting of public and private sector representatives with an interest in sustainable destination management in St. Kitts. The SDC launched in November 2013, as one of the key recommendations following the Global Sustainable Tourism Council’s destination assessment of St. Kitts and Nevis as part of GSTC’s Early Adopter program.
The SDC is governed by OUR BELIEF STATEMENT:
“The SDC works to facilitate partnerships and functional relationships among public and private sectors and all peoples in St. Kitts, to ensure that development in our destination preserves and benefits our environment, culture, heritage and community livelihoods”. This is summarized in our tagline, #GoodForUsBetterForAll.
The SDC was instrumental in hosting the first Climate Smart Sustainable Tourism Forum in the Caribbean and garnering recognition for St. Kitts, including St Kitts Ministry of Tourism’s winning Caribbean Tourism Organization’s award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism in 2017.
