Dominican Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) president, Enrique de Marchena Kaluche and Humberto Rivero, regional director for the International Air Transport Association (IATA) will be the keynote speakers at CHTA’s Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Investment Conference opening 14 April in Bermuda.
The conference is dubbed as the most crucial Caribbean Investment Conference to date. “The Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Conference brings together tourism officials, hoteliers, developers, lenders and other parties involved in the hospitality industry the opportunities to network, discuss and explore new strategies to bolster the momentum of growth we have achieved in the past few years,” says De Marchena Kaluche. Last year more than US$100 billion was invested in the Caribbean.
CHTA has lined up a comprehensive program of workshops and sessions focusing on pertinent developments which are completely changing the playing field in Caribbean hospitality investment and development.
Speakers will focus on The Outlook for the Caribbean, and where things are headed; The Equity Capital Markets: Who will Lead in 2009 and Beyond?
Jean-Claude Baumgarten, president of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) will discuss “The Global Travel & Tourism Outlook and How the Caribbean Measures Up.”
