The COVID-19 pandemic has without doubt had significant socio-economic impacts the world over. The United Nations has noted that the restart of tourism will help kick start recovery and growth as the Tourism industry is the man revenue earner for many countries especially within the Caribbean region. It is for this reason that the World Tourism Organization mandated that World Tourism Day 2021 focuses on “Tourism for Inclusive Growth.” 
The Ministry of Tourism as part of activities to commemorate the day held a panel discussion with stakeholders in the industry. Tourism Officer in the Ministry of Tourism, Samantha Charles highlighted some of the challenges faced in the preparatory phase for the reopening of Saint Lucia’s tourism sector.
