The SLHTA in Collaboration with the Tourism Enhancement Fund Spearheads healthy living

The Saint Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association (SLHTA) and the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) have partnered to use sports as the gate way to a healthier lifestyle. As the Voice of the Hospitality and Tourism Industry, the SLHTA believes that it is its responsibility to take such a bold thrust in the form of a Football Tournament. Strategically renamed the SLHTA’s Champions Cup, this prolific initiative is esteemed as exceptional by the Tourism Enhancement Fund and is seen as just the ingredient needed for the Tourism Sector to deliberately have a breakthrough in promoting and in formulating avenues to emphasize that a healthy life style is an integral component for the total well being of all stakeholders, employees and St. Lucians alike, while championing community development.

The TEF and the SLHTA have steadfast confidence in this Football Tournament because of its diverse functions that will result into positive growth for the secretariat’s membership. Needless to say the functions entail generating:

• camaraderie that fuels networking among teams and company managers to ignite inter-company relationships.

• increased physical activity in the lives of the participants as normal working hours may not be conducive for them to pursue recreation or sports which may be their passion.

• The football games will also build team spirit corporation and sportsmanship that will trickle down into increase efficiency in the workplace and bettered communication between employees.

The tournament features sixteen 16 teams from our membership, tenaciously vying for this year’s cup.
