Registration is now open for the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism
Association’s (CHTA)
42nd annual Caribbean Travel Marketplace, scheduled from May 20-23, 2024, at
the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Jamaica.
CHTA’s most important event connects suppliers of Caribbean
travel products and services with global buyers. Caribbean Travel Marketplace
promises to be a dynamic platform for networking, collaboration, and showcasing
the diverse offerings of the Caribbean hospitality and tourism sector.
“Marketplace presents a vital opportunity for industry
leaders and travel professionals from across the globe to unite, forge
partnerships, and pave the way for the continued growth and prosperity of the
region,” said Vanessa Ledesma, Acting CEO and Director General of CHTA.
Delegates can look forward to engaging in productive
business meetings to promote the region as a top travel destination. Attendees
will renew existing partnerships and explore new ones, discuss industry trends
and discover innovative strategies to enhance the Caribbean tourism experience.
CHTA Caribbean Travel Forum will take place on May 20, 2024.
The third annual event will focus on the business of Caribbean tourism and
include topics such as multi-destination marketing, intra-Caribbean travel, air
connectivity, sustainability, technology innovation, labor market, taxation and
tourism linkages. The CHTA Awards lunch will also recognize this year’s
Destination Resilience Award winner.
New for this year’s event is the Marketplace Responsible
Tourism Day, slated for May 23, 2024, and designed to promote sustainable
tourism development, highlighted by giving back to local communities. Delegates
will engage in activities that positively impact the local Jamaican community.
The initiative is part of a broader movement towards responsible tourism,
emphasizing the need for environmentally sustainable, economically beneficial
and culturally respectful practices in the travel industry.
“Since our initial efforts to aid hurricane victims in
Puerto Rico at the 2022 Marketplace event, the inclusion of Responsible Tourism
Day has remained a top priority,” said Nicola Madden-Greig, President of CHTA.
“We are delighted that this year marks its official launch, solidifying
responsible and sustainable tourism practices within our meetings,” she added.
Registration for Caribbean Travel Marketplace and the
Caribbean Travel Forum 2024 is open to suppliers, buyers, and sponsors.
