After a one-year absence due to the global economic crisis, the Caribbean’s premiere international gathering on sustainable tourism is back. The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has announced the return of its Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development, otherwise known as the Sustainable Tourism Conference (STC).
The 11th annual conference (STC-11) will be held from May 9-12, 2010 in Bridgetown, Barbados, and is being organized in collaboration with the Barbados Ministry of Tourism.
This year’s conference will examine critical issues relating to sustainability and will explore creative solutions to many of the challenges facing CTO member countries, including the effects of climate change.
A comprehensive and dynamic program is being planned to include the customary study tours – a key feature of this conference.
The annual Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development is part of the information dissemination and regional awareness component of CTO’s Strategy for Sustainable Tourism. It looks at how member states can design and implement sustainable tourism policies and programs, offering a regional forum for information exchange on the successes and pitfalls of national, regional, and international initiatives.
