November is Caribbean Tourism Month and the Caribbean Tourism Organisation has given it the theme “One Sea, One Voice, One Caribbean.”
“We will take the opportunity to heighten the value of tourism and its importance to the region,” said spokesman Johnson JohnRose. “Various member countries have developed activities to highlight the vibrant culture and rich heritage of the Caribbean and in turn, inspire visitors to explore their islands.”
The Caribbean, he said, is a year-round destination annually attracting more than 23 million visitors from all across the globe.
Great strides
Mr. JohnRose said the region has continued to make great strides in the tourism sector as our countries have kept their commitment to improve the economic, social and cultural development of the Caribbean.
“From expanded air service to newly enhanced airports and seaports, to the development of luxury hotels, cruising and yachting facilities, we are enriching the region with unparalleled assets,” he said. “Creating unbeatable service, effectively marketing our products, expanding our tourism education and engaging our local and foreign-based communities are goals which our combined efforts will help us to achieve.
“As we celebrate Caribbean Tourism Month we encourage countries to continue the effort to enhance the profile of the Caribbean,” Mr. JohnRose said. “We are undeniably world-renowned for our white-sand beaches and clear blue oceans; our rich history, exciting music and exotic cuisine; each destination with its own unique flavour. By combining our resources we are united as one powerful voice, one sea, one Caribbean.”
