representative for the British Overseas Territories on CTO’s executive committee,
CTO officials announced.
Liburd will serve a two-year term, from September 2024 through

“I am deeply committed to promoting our unique tourism
experiences and working collaboratively with my fellow members to drive
regional growth and sustainability,” said Liburd. “Together, we can enhance our
collective voice and ensure that the interests of the Caribbean are well
represented on the broader global stage.”
Liburd is “greatly respected and admired by her colleagues
for demonstrating leadership, vision and commitment to the goals and values
that make our tourism industry one of the strongest and most exciting in the
world,” said Dona Regis-Prosper, CTO’s secretary general.

years will be marked by continued progress thanks to her contributions and
collaboration with other members of our leadership team.”
