The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s (CHTA) Caribbean Travel Marketplace gets underway this week in Antigua and Barbuda.

The conference brings together tourism suppliers and international wholesalers for two days of face-to-face business meetings focused on selling Caribbean vacation travel.

This year’s highlights include Responsible Tourism Day (scheduled yesterday), the Caribbean Travel Forum and Opening Celebration taking place today, a Linkages Showcase, and a Direct Booking Summit.

“Caribbean Travel Marketplace has long been more than just a trade event — it is a powerful catalyst for business growth, collaboration and innovation in our region’s tourism industry,” stated Vanessa Ledesma, CEO of CHTA.
