Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan) (5th November, 2024)- During the 2024 Taipei International Travel Fair, held from November 1st to November 4th, the Embassy of Saint Kitts and Nevis in Taiwan showcased a booth highlighting the two carnival festivities in the Federation: Sugarmas and Culturama.

“Taiwanese people often show great interest in our cultural performances, which feature vibrant costumes, lively dances, and music. So, this year, we chose ‘Sugarmas and Culturama’ as the theme for our booth to share more about our carnival festivities and culture,” explained His Excellency Donya L. Francis, the Ambassador of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Last year, the Embassy’s booth showcased the rainforest, inviting potential visitors to venture deeper and explore the natural hidden gems of our twin island paradise. In previous years, the focus was on the beaches and beach bars.
