CTO Expands Program for Caribbean Week Canada in November

The region’s tourism development agency has announced an expanded program for Caribbean Week Canada, which runs from 15 to 19 November 2015.

For the first time ever, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), its member countries and partners will take the Caribbean message to travel agents in new markets in Ontario by visiting Burlington and London. Another first will be a church service to launch the week.

Also of interest this year is an industry luncheon where attendees will network with industry executives. Principal research associate of the Conference Board of Canada, Jennifer Hendry, will speak at this event on trends in the industry, with particular reference to the Caribbean.

“We have been working closely with our national tourist offices in Canada in planning for this year’s Caribbean Week and they have been very enthusiastically involved in developing the program. Based on their input we have decided to add Burlington and London, Ontario to the schedule and to begin the week with a church service,” said Sylma Brown, head of the CTO’s New York office, which oversees the Canadian market.

“In both of these cities Caribbean government representatives and private sector suppliers will update travel agents on the variety of experiences and new developments that are available in their destinations and how these travel agents can drive business to the region,” Brown said.
