Tourism Trade Boost: St. Kitts and Nevis wrapped up the 2026 ASTA Caribbean Showcase (Aug 22–25) at the St. Kitts Marriott, bringing 120+ U.S. travel advisors and regional partners for hotel site visits and destination briefings, with Nevis pushing its “meaningful experiences” pitch to the U.S. market. Cruise Economy: Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas made its final summer call, bringing 6,392 passengers to Port Zante and keeping local taxis, tours, vendors and attractions busy. Water Security Push: St. Kitts reported a major win from its EC$28m Groundwater Drilling Programme: the first Saddlers well hit the water table and is already testing at about 175 gallons per minute, with safe-yield testing underway. Fisheries Support: The government says 21 Fish Aggregating Devices are now deployed, improving access to species like yellowfin tuna for fishers. Energy Transition: On Nevis, the geothermal project reached a final pre-mobilisation milestone as the drill rig underwent final inspection in Iceland, while NEVLEC is also exploring a 10MW solar farm to cushion fuel-surcharge shocks. Community Inclusion: SKNAPD is appealing for help to finish an accessible bathroom at Eden Farmstead so more persons with disabilities can participate safely in training and livelihood activities.
