SAINT LUCIA – On Tuesday April 2nd, the Almond Morgan Bay resort collaborated with the Saint Lucia Tourist Board in honoring the many corporate partners who contribute to the continuing success of the annual Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival.
Director of Tourism Louis Lewis and the Festival Organizing Committee were joined by corporate executives representing the festival’s many partners for the Sponsors’ Cheque Hand-over Ceremony. The highly symbolic ceremony also included recognition of and tributes to the diverse corporate partners.
Now ranked amongst the most prestigious music festivals in the world, the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival has become the Caribbean’s premiere festival experience through many years of continued commitment by Saint Lucia’s business community who have lent support and brand power generously.
“Sponsor buy-in remains one of the key factors powering the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival, knowledge we do not take lightly,” noted Lewis. “We strive to remain the type of entity sponsors are eager to partner with, ensuring a high return on their generous investments while maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship.”
Lewis continued “The goal of the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival has always been the promotion of Saint Lucia and the scale and impact of the festival would be greatly diminished without the continued support of its multiple partners.”
PLATINUM sponsor of the 2013 Jazz & Arts Festival is Digicel. GOLD sponsors are Heineken, Columbus/Flow, The Wave, Radio Caribbean International, HTS, Kings Ocean Services and LUCELEC. SILVER sponsors are Cotton Bay Village and Radio St. Lucia, BRONZE sponsors are Bank of Saint Lucia Ltd, RBC Royal Bank and RBTT Bank Ltd, Daher Broadcasting System and Chairman’s Reserve - Finest St. Lucian Rum. COLLATERAL sponsors are Johnnie Walker Black Label, Kotex, Avis Rent a Car, Blue Waters, and Guy’s Car Rental.
The Saint Lucia Tourist Board also paid homage to longstanding partner Windward& Leeward Brewery Limited and their brand Heineken, as well as Platinum Sponsor Digicel, whose commitment to the success of the festival remains unwavering.
