CTO Sustainable Tourism Conference

(DiveTravelBusinessNews.com - January 6, 2010) -- After a 1-year hiatus, the Caribbean’s 11th Sustainable Tourism Conference is back on the calendar for the Caribbean Tourism Organization. The Sustainable Tourism Conference is slated for May 9 - 12 in Bridgetown, Barbados. Last year's conference was canceled due to the global economic crisis.

“The event in 2010 will continue with the focus on how member states can design and implement sustainable tourism policies and practices into their regional and international initiatives, with an emphasis on sustainable tourism issues of special interest to the host country,” said Hugh Riley the Interim Secretary General for the Caribbean Tourism Organization.

“We recognize that the development of the tourism sector in the Caribbean has to continue on a sustainable path, and we will continue to address pertinent sustainable tourism issues throughout the year in the programmes and projects under our sustainable tourism division, for the benefit of our member countries. We expect the event in 2010 to return stronger than ever,” he added

More information about the conference will be posted to www.onecaribbean.org as it becomes available.
