CHTA President Sanovnik Destang and Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Minister of Tourism Hon. Charles ‘Max’ Fernandez share a warm handshake at the 43rd Annual Caribbean Travel Marketplace in Antigua.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA (May 30, 2025)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(CHTA)\u00a0has concluded the 43rd<\/sup>\u00a0edition of its\u00a0Caribbean Travel Marketplace<\/strong>, bringing together tourism leaders from across the region at a pivotal time for the industry. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hosted this year by Antigua and Barbuda \u2014 the smallest nation by population to ever stage the event \u2014 Marketplace drew more than 780 delegates for two days of high-impact meetings, collaboration, and conversation that underscored the Caribbean\u2019s enduring value and collective strength.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over\u00a09,300 business appointments\u00a0were conducted, making this one of the most commercially active Marketplaces in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought together 165 buyer delegates from 83 companies across 16 global markets. On the supplier side, 173 companies from 23 destinations, including many from the\u00a0Eastern Caribbean, participated, reinforcing the diversity and resilience of the region\u2019s tourism product.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a Marketplace of momentum,\u201d shared CHTA President Sanovnik Destang. \u201cWe saw strong demand for Caribbean experiences grounded in authenticity, sustainability and value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers came looking for meaningful partnerships\u2014and they found them.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a buzz and energy across the selling floor, reflective of the seriousness and substance of the conversations happening between buyers and suppliers,\u201d added CHTA CEO Vanessa Ledesma.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese weren\u2019t just meetings; they were market-shaping discussions that will influence how Caribbean tourism grows in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the selling floor reflected a bold, modern aesthetic, doing away with traditional pipe and drape in favor of\u00a0sleek lightboxes and open-concept booths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout and ambiance encouraged both high-level business conversations and the human connections that define the Caribbean\u2019s warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year was all about innovation \u2014 not only in design, but in how we connect people, technology and business opportunities,\u201d shared Karen Whitt, CHTA First Vice President and Marketplace Chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe reimagined every element of the experience to reflect the evolution of Caribbean tourism: tech-forward, human-centric, and unapologetically regional in focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the enhanced floor layout, newly added features included a Linkages Showcase, which brought together agriculture, manufacturing, arts, entertainment and tourism partners from destinations such as Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago, fostering intra-regional business synergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other event highlights included Responsible Tourism Day, during which delegates had an opportunity to learn about the communities and culture of the destination as well as the first-ever Direct Booking Summit, Caribbean Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An expanded ecosystem of participants reflected the industry’s shifting dynamics, including representatives from the destination wedding, MICE, and direct booking sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketplace also offered destinations a high-profile platform to engage the media and spotlight their latest offerings, investments, and tourism developments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the event, press conferences allowed countries and brands to connect directly with regional and international journalists, helping to shape a stronger global narrative around Caribbean travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the heavy rains and flooding in parts of Antigua that took place in the days leading up to the event, Marketplace proceeded as planned, thanks to the resilience, creativity and collaboration by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, the Antigua and Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association and the Ministry of Tourism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a show of solidarity, CHTA and its partners donated $10,000 to support local recovery efforts\u2014a gesture that marks the beginning of a broader responsible tourism initiative focused on resilience and workforce support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur industry\u2019s true strength lies in its people,\u201d said Destang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur frontline workers are our superpower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their commitment, even in the face of natural challenges, is why the Caribbean continues to punch above its weight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeyond the numbers, Marketplace is about the people\u2014our workforce, our communities, our guests,\u201d continued Ledesma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Caribbean\u2019s strength lies in its ability to connect with heart, and that was on full display in Antigua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Marketplace was made possible thanks to hosts the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority and the Antigua Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association; destination partners Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Turks and Caicos and United States Virgin Islands; platinum partners ABA Global Marketing, Interval International, Mastercard, Travelzoo and Triptease; gold partners Amadeus, Caribbean Journal, Discover Dominica Authority, My Booking Rewards, TaConnect and Tambourine; silver partners NexGen Guest and Questex Travel; and airline partners Liat 20 and Sunrise Airways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having now successfully completed its 43rd year, Caribbean Travel Marketplace remains the largest and longest-running tourism event of its kind in the region. As it continues to evolve, it is steadfast in its mission: to drive business, build relationships, and celebrate the rich diversity and unity of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs delegates return home from Antigua, they leave with more than contracts,\u201d concluded Destang, \u201cThey leave with commitments\u2014to collaboration, to resilience, and to a thriving Caribbean future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
