Compiled & Presented

Elizabeth Borsting
Drum roll please...Barbados has been selected by the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), the Caribbean’s leading association representing the interests of national hotel and tourism associations, to be the host island for this year’s Caribbean Travel Marketplace happening May 9-11 at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre in Bridgetown.
For the first time in the organization’s history, Barbados will be the backdrop for one of the most influential trade association gatherings. The Caribbean Travel Marketplace is CHTA’s largest annual event bringing together those who buy and sell the region’s tourism products and services. Not only will this shine a spotlight on Barbados and its alabaster beaches, luxe accommodations, culinary offerings and attractions, but it will also have a significant economic impact on the island as well.
The second annual Caribbean Travel Forum & Awards will be one of the many highlights and will take place ahead of the official opening of the Caribbean Travel Marketplace. The forum, which focuses on key elements of tourism, includes the opportunity for buyers and sellers to conduct business on the final two days of the tradeshow.
Following a tumultuous time in the travel industry’s history, Barbados finds itself in the midst of an exciting renaissance. I’m hoping you might be interested a sharing with your readers the significance of CHTA selecting Barbados for its 41st annual Caribbean Travel Marketplace and the impact this not only has on the Caribbean’s travel industry, but on the Bajan people as well.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,

Barbados Today
Prime Minister Mia Mottley has been listed among the 100 most influential people in the 2022. TIME100, the annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In the TIME article written by Director General of the World Trade Organization Okonjo-Iweala, Mottley has been described as “bold, fearless, and possessing a great intellect and wit, the Prime Minister is a brilliant politician who knows how to shake things up.”
Okonjo-Iweala highlighted Mottley’s riveting speeches at COP26 in Glasgow late last year, when she chided the world’s leaders for not working more diligently to limit the potential catastrophic impacts of climate change.
She further noted Mottley’s work as chair of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund’s Development Committee, where she reminded the world’s finance gurus that the level of a country’s per capita income may not always be the best measure of its wealth.
Okonjo-Iweala lauded Prime Minister as a Barbadian icon.
“The Prime Minister strides boldly on the world stage. She is an embodiment of our conscience, reminding us all to treat our planet, and therefore one another, with love, dignity, and care.”
