Discover the Charm of St. Kitts

While I’ve yet to visit St. Kitts personally, I recently completed the island’s specialist certification course. I attended a delightful tourism dinner event hosted by the dynamic duo of Cyndi Miller Aird of Miller Aird Destination Marketing and Deborah Traussi of DEB Marketing at The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ. The island’s allure, history, and natural beauty were truly captivating. I am excited to share my top 10 must-see attractions and experiences for your future travels and mine to St. Kitts.
