The Saba Tourism Bureau would like to announce a captivating lineup of activities designed to ignite tourism awareness on our picturesque island of Saba. It’s important to foster community tourism awareness throughout the year highlighting the impact and benefits of tourism. On September 27^th globally World Tourism Day is celebrated and during the month of September, we take a moment to reflect on the impact tourism has on our community. These initiatives and activities are tailored for residents and visitors alike, with the ultimate goal of heightening awareness about the importance of our tourism product and instilling pride in our island and its offerings. The community, tourism partners, and stakeholders all play a vital role.

Tourism contributes to 24% of Saba’s economy with the vision that in five years this will grow to 35% as outlined by the Tourism Master Plan 2023-2028. Our friendly community, safe environment, and diverse product offerings continue to impress visitors from around the world. Moreover, tourism sustains a multitude of jobs directly and indirectly related to the industry, making it integral to Saba’s sustainable development, the tourist bureau will be featuring various faces in a project called Faces in Tourism highlighting various individuals and their jobs.
