When Martinique's Mont Pelee volcano erupted in 1902, the lava and poisonous gas killed all but one of St-Pierre's 38,000 citizens - the lone survivor was a prisoner in the city's jail.
The Caribbean's most important honeymoon destination award was presented to Saint Lucia at the XXVI World Travel Awards (WTA), held in Jamaica.
Tiffany Howard, Executive Director of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA), said that being continuously recognized as the Leading Honeymoon Destination in the Caribbean is a true honor, demonstrating a commitment to excellence and offering unparalleled romantic products.
He added that they offer infinite experiences and incredible attractions in contact with the sea, in open-air environments.
The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority is positioning the island as a luxury destination par excellence, and is betting on the title of World Leading Honeymoon Destination in 2019.
In 2018, it received that category, when it registered a 5% increase in the number of bride and groom arrivals.
