A new SVG logo has been designed, using the national colors of yellow, green and blue
The shape of a seagull’s wing forms the “V” in St. Vincent, with a bird in flight, “symbolizing SVG as a multidimensional experience for visitors to explore all that the destination has to offer,” according to Glen Beache, CEO of the St. Vincent and Grenadines Tourism Authority.
Beache said that several major projects, now in the works, will improve the region's ability to attract and host many more visitors. The destination welcomed approximately 65,000 visitors in 2010.
