Porta Communications plc, the international marketing and communications business, is pleased to report that its subsidiary business Publicasity has secured a contract to provide a consumer and travel trade public relations programme to Saint Lucia Tourist Board.

The contract was secured following a competitive pitch and the PR programme will be focused on raising awareness of Saint Lucia as a travel destination in the UK and Ireland.

Atlyn Forde, director of marketing UK & Europe at Saint Lucia Tourist Board, said: "We were really impressed with Publicasity's approach and proposal. We had a number of strong presentations from other agencies, but overall it was a unanimous decision from the panel to appoint Publicasity as they scored highly on all our key criteria and are the perfect fit to deliver on our strategic goals."
