The Chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) Beverly Nicholson-Doty will lead the agency’s efforts to engage Canada’s largest city at Caribbean Week Toronto from 23-27 June.
Ms. Nicholson-Doty, who is also the commissioner of tourism for the US Virgin Islands, will appear at CTO-organised events during the week, which celebrates the sights,
sounds and holiday attributes of the Caribbean.
As part of her programme, the Commissioner will speak at the Caribbean Tourism Investment Symposium, the first of its kind to be organized by CTO, aims at connecting Caribbean business leaders with Canadian investors and lenders. She will be joined by top policy-makers in the ministry of citizenship and immigration in the provincial government and foreign affairs in the federal government, among others.
Commissioner Nicholson-Doty is also scheduled to appear at the CTO media briefing on Wednesday morning, 25 June, and will get to go one on one with leading Canadian journalists at Media Marketplace immediately following the news briefing.
“The Canadian market is critical to the Caribbean region,” said Nicholson-Doty, noting that the region is working strategically to increase arrivals and revenues from Canada. “Caribbean Week affords the region an opportunity to call on our media partners to provide destination updates; consumers so they can take advantage of the compelling attractions we are offering; and investors to inform them of the viable opportunities awaiting them across our member countries and territories.”
Caribbean Week in Toronto will cater to the diverse needs of participating entities and destinations through a combination of events targeting the media, trade, businesses, consumers and the Caribbean Diaspora.
The preliminary list of participants for Caribbean Week Toronto includes: Antigua & Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Sandals Resorts, St. Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Turks & Caicos Islands and the United States Virgin Islands.
