The upcoming Caribbean Hotel and Resort Investment Summit is bringing back what organisers term “the popular ‘Meet the Opportunity’ sessions in a new and improved format”. This year’s conference will be held on 6 and 7 May at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami and hosted by Burba Hotel Network.

The historic city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia will set the stage for the 20th annual Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association Cruise Conference & Trade Show, taking place September 30 - October 4, 2013. Cruise industry partners and stakeholders will join cruise executives from the FCCA Member Lines to share ideas and discuss industry trends throughout a series of tailored events, functions, meetings and more.

If so, you'll get a taste of what one would be like by attending Majors Travel of Forest Avenue's fourth-annual Consumer Travel Expo at the Hilton Garden Inn in Bloomfield on April 21. The event, outfitted in a complete Caribbean theme, will surely transcend event-goers to a paradise-like tropical setting. And that dream trip could become your reality, as attendees will have the opportunity to win one of three vacation-related prizes that will be raffled off during the event.
