The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) held a virtual press conference Friday afternoon announcing that its next Caribbean Marketplace conference will be held in Barbados this May.
Barbados will host the 41st edition of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s (CHTA) Caribbean Travel Marketplace from May 9-11, 2023.
It was also announced that the CHTA will be bringing back two other popular Caribbean events this year - Taste of the Caribbean and the Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF). No other information was provided about those two events.
CHTA President Nicola Madden-Greig announced that the influential trade association’s largest annual event, Caribbean Marketplace, which brings together buyers and sellers of the region’s tourism products and services, will be staged in Barbados for the first time in the organization’s history.
“There will be a focus on new markets, including MICE and destination weddings, as well as introducing a more robust travel advisor program,” said Madden-Greig. “This year, we will focus on expanding our member benefits, and we will actively work to move from recovery to robust growth.”
Ian Gooding-Edghill, Barbados’ minister of tourism and international transport, said the Barbados tourism industry was undergoing a major renaissance in the post-COVID environment, and the timing could not be better to welcome Caribbean Travel Marketplace to local soil.
Caribbean Travel Marketplace 41 will build on the success of last fall’s 40th edition, which was held in Puerto Rico. Read More…
