BRADES, Montserrat, March 11 2015 – The Island of Montserrat is said to be on the rebound.
Director of Tourism, Anita Nightingale said the Soufrière Hills volcano, along with the walk-through museum of island’s former capital, are central features of a new strategy to promote the island.
“The volcano forms our gritty side and it has positively influenced this new strategy. But it is always in partnership with our lush green side,” she said.
“We want people who are fascinated by our geography of contrasts,” she adds, pointing out that in terms of the volcano, “we are at our lowest hazard level ever. Now is the time for people to come.”
Ms. Nightingale points to Montserrat’s unique dual new niche.
”We have Plymouth which is of itself an extraordinary attraction,” the tourism director points out. “And especially with the volcano and Plymouth, we definitely want to make Montserrat a destination of intrigue.”
