The Caribbean Tourism Organization

The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), with headquarters in

Barbados and offices in New York and Landon, is the Caribbean’s
tourism development agency comprising membership of over
thirty counties Inch , Dutch, English, French and Spanish, as well

History

The year was 1951… Tourism was already seen as having a

major role to play in the economic development of Caribbean
countries, but there was no organised body to focus the visitor’s
thinking on the entire region as a single destination. A group of
concerned individuals met in Antigua and established the
Caribbean Travel Association ( CTA).

Vision and Purpose

The CTO’s vision is to position the Caribbean as the most

desirable, year round, warm weather destination by 2017 and the
purpose is LEADING SUSTAINABLE TOURISM One sea , One
Voice , One Caribbean.
