Recently, Mr. Dominic Fedee, Minister of Tourism of Saint Lucia, announced that Saint Lucia will reopen its tourism industry on June 4, 2020. To ensure the safety of citizens and visitors, the country will reopen the tourism sector in phases: the first phase will run from June 4, 2020, to July 31, 2020. The second phase will begin on August 1, 2020.
After the reopening of the tourism industry, to ensure the safety of citizens and visitors, relevant protective measures include providing advanced testing methods, conducting daily monitoring of service personnel and tourists, and setting up designated hand-washing and disinfection stations as well as social distancing guidelines along popular tourist routes. Taxis in Saint Lucia must carry passengers according to guidelines specified by health authorities, and hotels and resorts can only open after receiving a COVID-19 business compliance certificate issued by the government.
At the same time, the first batch of travelers arriving on the island after the reopening must present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within the previous 48 hours before boarding. During their stay, travelers are required to undergo regular testing and temperature checks by designated health institutions, and must wear masks and maintain social distancing throughout their trip.
Following the safety guidelines of the World Health Organization and the Caribbean Public Health Agency, Saint Lucia closed its borders on March 23, 2020. With the easing of the pandemic, Saint Lucia has also pressed the restart button on its economy.
Saint Lucia has attracted tourists from all over the world due to its beautiful environment, and the tourism industry has always been a pillar of Saint Lucia's national economy. In January 2020, Prime Minister of Saint Lucia Allen Chastanet stated: "Let 2020 be one of the best years in the history of Saint Lucia." He pointed out that "We are working to continue to maintain the positive momentum we saw in 2019, and 2020 will be an extremely bright year for Saint Lucia." This includes record-breaking tourist numbers, continued growth of the national economy, further declines in the unemployment rate, and other initiatives and projects. In 2020, Saint Lucia will continue to carry out island-wide road repair projects, the 2020 census, and strategic interventions in areas such as healthcare, justice and security, agriculture, and education. As a "global honeymoon destination," Saint Lucia has attracted the attention of global investors and travelers over the past year.
In recent years, the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program, as a typical representative of "civilian price, aristocratic status," has become a new favorite in the immigration field. Its citizenship by investment program has advantages such as low investment amounts, fast approval speeds, relaxed application thresholds, and visa-free access to many countries, attracting the attention of many visionary investors around the world and becoming a preferred destination for health planning and investment immigration in the minds of high-net-worth individuals. Choosing Saint Lucia can satisfy needs for personal health, wealth preservation, travel convenience, family planning, asset planning, and children's education! In 2020, the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program may also reach new heights!
In 2015, Saint Lucia approved the "Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Act." According to the 2017 amendment, applicants can obtain citizenship of the Commonwealth country of Saint Lucia for a family of three generations with a donation starting from USD 100,000. The passage and implementation of this act have made Saint Lucia one of the more affordable immigration countries among global investment immigration programs, and it is highly sought after!
