About Saint Lucia
Tourism is vital to Saint Lucia's economy. Its economic importance is expected to continue to increase as the market for bananas becomes more competitive. Tourism tends to be more substantial during the dry season (January through April), although there are a handful of events held at other times of the year attracting visitors including the St. Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival (May), Carnival (July), and the Creole Heritage Month (October). The island is called the "Helen of the West Indies", due to its striking beauty. Saint Lucia's first known inhabitants were Arawaks, believed to have come from northern South America around 200-400 CE. Numerous archaeological sites on the island have produced specimens of the Arawaks' ancestors well-developed pottery. These Caribs gradually replaced Arawak
