| The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) will launch a new scholarship fund dedicated to empowering the next generation of Caribbean women in tourism at its Caribbean Women in Tourism Leadership Dinner & Awards on June 1. Titled “From Her to Her: From Today’s Female Leaders to Tomorrow’s Tourism Stars,” the program will provide annual support for a promising female student from the Caribbean pursuing studies and a career in tourism. All proceeds from the June 1 event will directly fund the scholarship through the CTO Foundation. The dinner and awards ceremony at the InterContinental New York Times Square during Caribbean Week in New York will honor leading female luminaries in Caribbean tourism. Honorees will include ministers and directors of tourism from across the region, recipients of the Secretary-General’s Distinguished Service Awards, and inductees into a new Hall of Fame designation recognizing outstanding leadership. “As the first female secretary-general of CTO, fostering opportunities for women in tourism is both a professional priority and a personal passion,” said Dona Regis-Prosper, CTO secretary-general. “This scholarship embodies the spirit of mentorship, legacy and opportunity. We are investing in the talent that will shape the future of our region’s most vital industry.” Jacqueline Johnson, Chairman of the CTO Foundation, added: “This initiative effectively captures the spirit of mentorship and the legacy we aim to build. The CTO Foundation team looks forward to a successful launch and to supporting the next generation of Caribbean women leaders in tourism.” Valued partners, including Virgin Voyages, Diamonds International and TRÈFLE, have already committed support, with Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority sponsoring the dinner event. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to gender equity and leadership development across Caribbean tourism. The Caribbean Women in Tourism Leadership Dinner & Awards is part of Caribbean Week 2026 celebrations. Tickets are US $199 per person.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
