Almost every country in the world is suffering in some sort of way from an economic crisis. That is why hotels in Nevis West Indies have decided to offer potential customers a rebate on the cost of their flight in a bid to keep cash-strapped tourists coming.

The airline credit idea is one of a number of helpful innovations that tourism operators across the world are introducing during a global recession.

In recent years, tiny Nevis has become a luxury hotspot, with Hollywood stars and moneyed-up CEOs choosing it as an ideal spot to get away from it all.

However, with the global economy having taken a turn for a worst, the island’s hoteliers are taking steps to keep business coming in.

It makes perfect sense. A group of Nevis Island top hotels have got together with the island’s tourism authority to launch an airline credit scheme.

Any visitors staying for four or more nights in a participating hotel will be given a $200 US ($A306) credit on their final bill to cover part of the cost of getting to the island! Talk about a great incentive!

Those signing up for the initiative include the Montpelier Plantation Inn where Diana, Princess of Wales stayed after splitting up with Prince Charles and the Nisbet Plantation Beach Club.

Rates at the Nisbet Plantation start at $375 US ($A573) a night, and general manager Jamie Holmes argues that flight costs can be a determining factor for visitors. He also hopes that the airline credit promotion will stimulate interest in Nevis by offering better value for money in tough economic times.

He said:

Our experience shows that travellers are more likely to be put off by the cost of the airfare than the cost of the hotel room.

Since Nevis is a little further away from the main airline hubs in the Caribbean, this offer helps to offset the cost of getting to the island.

So, if your tight on money like many people these days, and need to book a trip to the Island of Nevis, it is an affordable option! NEVIS TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE!

Hope I could Help!
