One hundred and forty-seven children took part in a week of education, cultural activities, and environmental stewardship programming during the 2025 Kids’ Tourism Summer Camp programme.

The programme, hosted by the Ministry of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Sustainable Development and Culture, officially concluded on Friday, 8th August 2025.

This year’s programme brought together 147 children, an increase of 50 participants compared to the 2024 programme.

Through interactive presentations, guided field trips, and practical workshops, participants gained a deeper understanding of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ natural and cultural assets, as well as the important role they play as future ambassadors for the nation’s tourism industry.

This year’s camp complements the culmination of the Ministry’s wider Tourism Sensitisation School Visits Programme, which has, to date, reached a remarkable 700 students nationwide.

The Ministry noted that it views the annual Kids’ Tourism Summer Camp as an investment in the nation’s children, preparing them to be the guardians of the industry and custodians of the nation’s heritage.

By planting the seeds of tourism awareness early, the Ministry said it remains committed to building a community that takes pride in its attractions, preserves its environment, and warmly welcomes visitors.

The Ministry further stated that it will continue to prioritise tourism education initiatives year-round, ensuring that the next generation is empowered to protect and promote Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as a premier destination.
