HELEN OF THE WEST INDIES The tug-of-war between the French and the British for St. Lucia which led to the Caribbean nation changing hands a record 14 times is testament to this island s spectacular beauty. St. Lucia offers a pristine landscape which appeals to both nature and adventure lovers, with its coastal charms and luxurious resorts and marinas making it the newest playground for the rich and famous. The soaring peaks of the Piton Mountains are one of St. Lucia s most striking attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hewanorra International Airport was used as a US military airfield during World War II. Today it is well connected to the US, UK, Canada, Europe and other Caribbean islands. The Jacquot or St. Lucia parrot can only be found on the island and is a proud symbol of St Lucia s rich and unique bio-diversity. Infrastructure development, a stable political landscape and a well-educated workforce have attracted increased levels of foreign investment in recent years.

WHY ST. LUCIA? St. Lucia s Citizenship By Investment Program is the newest program to be launched in the Caribbean region.
