The Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development will be held in Grenada on April 22-24, 2024.
The beginning of the conference coincides with the international Earth Day celebration on April 22, which will be held in 2024 under the theme “Planet vs. Plastics.”
Known as the “Spice Isle,” for its production of spices like nutmeg, Grenada is located south of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The island’s Minister of Tourism, Lennox Andrews, thanked the CTO for selecting the island to host the conference following the organization’s State of the Tourism Industry Conference, which was itself held in the Turks and Caicos.
“We are honored to host the CTO’s Sustainable Tourism Conference in 2024. Grenada’s commitment to sustainable and inclusive tourism aligns perfectly with the conference’s objectives,” said Minister Andrews. “We are dedicated to showcasing the transformative power of sustainable tourism and its role as a push for social and economic growth and environmental stewardship throughout the Caribbean.”
The previous Sustainable Tourism Development conference was held in 2019 prior to the pandemic, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
“We are excited about presenting the Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development in Grenada next April,” said CTO Chairman Kenneth Bryan. “This conference underscores the CTO’s commitment to advancing sustainable tourism policies and practices in the Caribbean. Grenada’s natural beauty and dedication to sustainable tourism make it an ideal host, and we look forward to engaging in fruitful discussions with our colleagues in the industry.”
