St. Lucia citizenship by investment is known in the industry as one of the higher value programs compared with some of the other, longer-standing options. This counts for the donation route of citizenship by investment as well as the real estate option, with more options becoming available annually. The island is much loved by visitors for its lush green peaks and vegetation blanketing large swathes of the land in the interior of the island. Even for those investors who may not want to spend the entire 12 months of the year on the island, it is definitely worth it to have at least a vacation property on the island. 

The entire island has a robust infrastructure, including a highly efficient public transportation system that services the entire island. The highest value industry on the island is tourism, which overtook agriculture as the biggest industry, historically, when the significance of banana exports fell. The current highest value export product is petroleum.

• St. Lucia was given its name by French sailors who shipwrecked there on the day of Saint Lucy of Syracuse on the 13th of December, 1502. As a result, St. Lucia has the distinction of being the only country in the world that is named after a woman. 
• Despite its size, St. Lucia gave the world two Nobel Prize winners: Derek Walcott (1992 Nobel Prize for Literature), and Sir Arthur Lewis (1979 Nobel Prize for Economics). This means that the island holds the world record for the most Nobel Prize Laureates per capita, with a rate of 10.81 per million people.
