Premier of Nevis, the Hon. Mark Brantley, has announced that a renovation of the Nevis Tourism Authority (NTA) offices in Charlestown will be done citing the need for a more professional and conducive workspace.

During his monthly conference he asserted “This government is investing in a more significant way in the NTA because we think if the NTA does its job right, Nevis will prosper.”

In addition to infrastructure improvements, the Premier highlighted a notable increase in revenue from the Tourism Development Levy (TDL).

Hon. Mark Brantley. This follows the government’s decision to raise the levy from 2% to 3% effective June 1^st 2025.

The Tourism Development Levy is collected by registered businesses in the tourism sector, including hotels, restaurants, guesthouses, and Airbnbs.
