St. Kitts Just Launched Its Biggest-Ever Travel Agent Rewards Program: Meet SKY

St. Kitts wants to make it worth your while to sell the destination — and the island’s tourism board is putting real perks behind that promise.

The St. Kitts Tourism Authority has launched the 2026 SKY Programme — short for St. Kitts Your Way — a sweeping travel-trade initiative built to reward and equip the advisors who actively champion the destination. Running from June 1 through December 15, 2026, the program gives travel agents across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom access to preferred rates at ten participating properties, paired with a slate of benefits designed to deepen product knowledge and selling confidence.

It’s the SKTA’s most robust trade-facing effort to date, and it signals where the authority is putting its energy: long-term, meaningful partnerships with the advisor community rather than one-off promotions.

The thinking behind SKY is refreshingly direct. Agents who invest in learning and selling St. Kitts deserve to be rewarded for that work. So qualifying advisors get exclusive rates at ten of the island’s most distinctive properties — spanning everything from intimate boutique stays to full-service luxury resorts — plus a set of on-island perks waiting for them when they arrive.

The benefits package is built around four pillars. Participating agents receive exclusive travel agent rates at all ten participating properties, valid for the full run of the program. They also get complimentary site inspections at those properties, so advisors can sell the island with firsthand familiarity rather than secondhand brochure copy. Qualifying agents are further treated to complimentary island tours and excursions that showcase the breadth of St. Kitts’ natural beauty, history, and culture. And everyone in the program receives a St. Kitts Value Card offering exclusive discounts across tours, restaurants, and island experiences.

The site-inspection and excursion components are the standouts here. There’s no substitute for an advisor who has actually walked a property and ridden the Scenic Railway when it comes time to match a client to the right hotel — and SKY is clearly designed to turn participation into genuine destination expertise, not just a discount code.

On the lodging side, the ten participating properties were chosen to cover a range of categories, locations, and price points, giving advisors something to recommend for nearly every type of client. The roster includes the Park Hyatt St. Kitts and the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, alongside the Royal St. Kitts Hotel, KOI Resort Saint Kitts, Timothy Beach Resort, and Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort. Rounding out the lineup are Sunset Reef, Seaview Gardens, Sugar Bay Club, and Bird Rock Beach Hotel.

That spread is worth noting. With the Park Hyatt and Belle Mont anchoring the luxury end, the Marriott handling larger groups and resort-style stays, and properties like Timothy Beach, Bird Rock, and Sugar Bay covering more accessible price points, advisors have a credible answer ready whether a client is booking a milestone honeymoon or a value-minded winter escape.

For agents who already work the Eastern Caribbean — or who have been looking for a reason to add St. Kitts to their repertoire — the window is open now and runs through mid-December, comfortably spanning the lead-up to peak winter booking season. With improving airlift into the region and St. Kitts’ growing luxury inventory, an investment in learning the destination this summer could pay off through the high season and beyond.

Advisors interested in participating can reach out to the St. Kitts Tourism Authority for enrollment details and qualifying requirements.
