The Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association (GHTA) proudly announces its successful participation in the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) Marketplace 43, held recently in Antigua.
This premier event, recognised as the largest tradeshow in the Caribbean, brought together hundreds of buyers and suppliers from the tourism industry, showcasing the region’s vibrant tourism offerings.
The GHTA was honoured to collaborate with the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) and the Minister of Tourism Hon. Adrian Thomas in promoting Grenada as a premier travel destination. The collaboration underscored the commitment of Grenada’s tourism stakeholders to enhance the country’s visibility and attract diverse markets.
The CHTA Marketplace 43 featured a dynamic Caribbean Travel Forum, which provided invaluable market intelligence from renowned organisations such as Forward Keys, Tourism Economics, and Mastercard. Participants gained insights into current trends and future forecasts that will shape the Caribbean tourism landscape. Additionally, the inaugural Direct Booking Summit took place, focusing on strategies to encourage direct bookings and enhance revenue for Caribbean hospitality providers.
