A STC-7 Reminder from CTO

The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) all parties interested that it has organized a round table discussion at the seventh Annual Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development (STC-7), slated for Tobago from April 26-29, aimed at helping delegates identify avenues to market Caribbean products that are in accordance with sustainable tourism principles, including ecotourism.

The panel on marketing and promotion will cover topics such as special channels for niche marketing and cooperative marketing for small operators.

This is an exciting new addition which adds value to the conference program as we seek to strengthen the event every year, said Karen Ford-Warner, CTO´s acting secretary general.

STC-7 is organized by CTO in collaboration with the Association of

Caribbean States (ACS) and in conjunction with the government of

Trinidad and Tobago.

CTO has unveiled a comprehensive and impressive program for the conference. It includes general sessions at which participants will discuss pertinent sustainable tourism issues relating to the conference theme, Keeping the Right Balance - Sustainable Tourism Through Diversity; highly interactive and stimulating workshops to complement the general sessions; and exciting study tours through which participants will explore the diversity of Tobago.

Simultaneous workshops, successfully introduced at STC-6, will again form part of the conference schedule.

For its part, Trinidad and Tobago tourism authorities have designed a series of events, including pre and post conference tours, to complement the event.
