Tourist Talk

Getting to know you

TT catches up with folks at Le Sport—the topic of conversation? Why they keep coming back year after year.

Roy Osmund featured in our first issue in May 1989. Roy was 33 years old at the time, a native New Yorker and vice president of an export company. TT caught up with him in Castries on the William Peter Boulevard.

TT:Is this your first time in St. Lucia?
Roy: No, I've been here twice before. Just loved it. I'll be back again.

TT: What about St. Lucia do you like especially?
Roy:There is no scenery anywhere in the world, not even in the other islands, quite like you have in St Lucia. Besides, I find the people refreshingly friendly.

Karen Kemmis and Terry Heany from New York were taking a stroll in Rodney Bay Village when TT captured their thought for the April 2007 issue

TT:Why did you choose St Lucia as your vacation spot?
Karen:It sounded like a beautiful island, so when the opportunity arose to come here we took it. By the way , last night I read the new issue of the Tropical Traveller from cover and it was great. It really gives you a lot of information on what to do and where to go in St.Lucia.

Richard Capp, 44 of London, England, was enjoying a relaxing afternoon on Malabar Beach, near Couples (now Rendezvous), when the TT reporter interrupted for an interview that would appear in the September 1989 issue of our, then relatively new publication

TT:What impressed you the about St Lucia ?
Richard:For me it’s the people; they bring out the best in this island. The scenery is also out of this world!
