The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has announced that the 2020 Sustainable Tourism Conference will be held in Grenada from April 28th to May 1st. This annual event brings together tourism professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders from across the Caribbean to discuss and promote sustainable tourism practices in the region.
Grenada, known as the “Spice Isle” for its abundance of nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices, is an ideal location for this conference as it has made significant strides in sustainable tourism development. The island nation has implemented initiatives to protect its natural resources, promote community-based tourism, and support local businesses.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Building a Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Tourism Industry,” reflecting the importance of sustainability in the face of climate change and other challenges. The conference will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities for participants to learn from each other and exchange ideas on how to promote sustainable tourism in the Caribbean.
One of the key goals of the conference is to showcase best practices in sustainable tourism, with a focus on innovative approaches to conservation, community engagement, and economic development. Participants will have the opportunity to visit local eco-friendly attractions, meet with sustainable tourism operators, and learn about successful projects in Grenada and other Caribbean destinations.
The CTO is committed to promoting sustainable tourism in the Caribbean as a way to protect the region’s natural and cultural heritage, support local communities, and create economic opportunities for residents. By bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders, the Sustainable Tourism Conference aims to foster collaboration and cooperation in advancing sustainable tourism practices in the region.
Grenada is thrilled to host this important event and showcase its commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism. The island’s stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture make it a perfect destination for eco-conscious travelers looking to experience the beauty of the Caribbean while supporting sustainable tourism initiatives.
