Nevis has received attention by international news outlets, specifically the island’s upcoming airport expansion project. The outlets are the Daily Mail and The Mirror.

 The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper founded in 1896 and published in London.  The Daily Mirror (the Mirror) is a British national daily tabloid newspaper.

UK’s Daily Mail and The Mirror spotlight Nevis’ plans to improve accessibility and welcome visitors. “A tropical Caribbean island loved by Princess Diana is preparing itself for a massive influx of Royal fans” the outlets said.

The existing runway cannot accommodate larger planes that most major airlines fly – meaning international tourists have to fly to neighbouring islands and then travel across which changes the minds of some.

But this is all set to change when the expansion is complete. Premier of Nevis and Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Mark Brantley, said: “we are proud of our rich history and the fact we were the destination of choice for Princess Diana.”

 He mentioned “we look forward to welcoming more visitors and fans of the British Royal Family from the UK and further afield to experience everything our island has to offer.” The expansion of the Airport will allow for direct flights from major cities, increasing the island’s appeal.
