St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) continues its award-winning streak as a leading nature destination following the announcement of the “Destination of the Year – Eco Adventures” Award. This prestigious recognition was presented by the Pacific Area Travel Writers Association (PATWA) International Travel Awards Council during the Internationale Tourismus Börse (ITB) Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade fair, March 4th to 6th, 2025.

PATWA, a globally recognized professional organization and an affiliate member of UN Tourism, annually acknowledges outstanding contributions in the travel and tourism industry during the ITB Berlin trade fair, which attracts around 10,000 exhibitors from over 180 countries and regions.

The recognition of this accolade further showcases SVG’s commitment to balancing economic prosperity with environmental preservation, setting a precedent for sustainable tourism practices in the Caribbean and beyond.

It is the second successive international award for the island in recent months. In 2024, the destination also won the World Travel Awards’ Best Nature Destination, reinforcing its position as a premier choice for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

SVG, with its 32 islands and cays, is renowned for its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, marine sanctuaries, and thriving wildlife. Visitors can engage in eco-adventure experiences such as hiking La Soufrière volcano, exploring Vermont and Cumberland Nature Trails, discovering Dark View Falls, and birdwatching. The island’s black, gold, and white sand beaches offer secluded, untouched shorelines that provide immersive natural experiences.
