The St. Kitts Tourism Authority (SKTA) has launched the 2026 SKY Program — St. Kitts Your Way — a comprehensive travel trade initiative designed to reward and empower the travel professionals who champion St. Kitts.
Running from June 1 through Dec. 15, 2026, the SKY Program offers travel agents across Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom exclusive access to preferred rates at ten participating properties, alongside a suite of agent benefits designed to deepen destination knowledge and confidence.
The program is the SKTA’s most robust trade-facing initiative to date, reflecting the authority’s ongoing commitment to building meaningful, long-term partnerships with travel advisors worldwide.
The SKY Program – which stands for St. Kitts Your Way — is built on a simple premise: travel agents who invest in selling St. Kitts deserve to be rewarded for it. Through the program, qualifying agents gain access to exclusive rates at ten of the island’s most distinctive properties, from intimate boutique resorts to world-class luxury hotels, as well as a range of on-island perks available upon arrival.
Features include:
- Preferred Rates — Exclusive travel agent rates at ten participating properties across St. Kitts, valid for the duration of the program.
- Site Inspections — Complimentary site inspections of participating properties, enabling agents to sell St. Kitts with firsthand confidence.
- Island Tours & Excursions — Complimentary island tours and excursions for qualifying agents, showcasing the breadth of St. Kitts’ natural beauty, history, and culture.
- Value Card on Arrival — A St. Kitts Value Card offering exclusive discounts across tours, restaurants, and island experiences.
Program Benefits
The SKY Program features 10 participating properties spanning a range of categories, locations, and price points — ensuring agents have options for every type of client.

We know that when a travel agent experiences this island firsthand through its warmth, its beauty, its character, they become its most powerful advocates.”
