Two outstanding young representatives from Nevis, Khayla Claxton and Keyana Warner, are gearing up to showcase their talents at the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) Regional Tourism Youth Congress, scheduled for October 02, 2025, in Barbados. Claxton, a student at Gingerland Secondary School and Nevis’s Youth Junior Minister of Tourism, will join peers from 14 other Caribbean territories to present innovative ideas on the future of regional tourism. She is supported by a team from the Nevis Ministry of Tourism, her teacher chaperone Tamara Morton, and reigning CTO Youth Tourism Minister Keyana Warner, who also hails from Nevis. Premier Mark Brantley, Minister of Tourism in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), praised both delegates for their dedication and preparation, expressing high hopes for their success. Claxton recently participated in interactive workshops focused on workplace readiness, leadership, and the application of XR and AI technologies in tourism. Meanwhile, Warner is set to make history as the first Caribbean Junior Minister of Tourism invited to speak at the conference’s opening ceremony, sharing the stage with CTO Secretary-General Dona Regis-Prosper. Premier Brantley highlighted the significance of this achievement, emphasizing Nevis’s commitment to nurturing excellence among its youth.
