Soufriere is renowned as the tourism capital of Saint Lucia, boasting world-famous attractions such as the Pitons and the Sulphur Springs, as well as some of the world's best hotels. Soufriere sees thousands of visitors annually, mostly by land, but many more by sea, in both large and small vessels. As such, the Soufriere Regional Development Foundation (SRDF) has seen it fitting to better manage the town’s coastal waters and maritime resources and convened a meeting earlier this week.
