The Spirit of the Caribbean to Lift the US East Coast

A series of road shows and seminars have been organized to help raise awareness of the region in three US east coast cities.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Caribbean is going east this month – to the east coast of the United States. The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has organized a series of events in three states on the United States east coast to help raise awareness of the Caribbean to travel agents and the local media.

A CTO team – including Member Countries, some of the major tour operators and hotel representatives – will visit Collingswood, New Jersey; New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts between 18 and 20 October for presentations, trade shows, seminars and face to face meetings with top producing travel agents as part of the Caribbean Goes Road Shows & Seminars.

“The main objectives of these road shows are to raise awareness of the Caribbean as the premier warm weather holiday destination and to keep top producing travel agents and the media up to date with the latest developments and the variety of experiences that the Caribbean offers,” Sylma Brown, who heads the CTO’s New York office said.

“The road shows also provide travel agents with the opportunity to network with Caribbean suppliers in a manner that will help them drive business to the Caribbean,” she added.
