The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) is poised to positively impact the Routes Americas in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.<\/p>\n
This premier air service development forum uniting the Americas brings together senior decision-makers from the region\u2019s leading airlines, airports and other tourism and aviation stakeholders.<\/p>\n
The CTO delegation, led by Secretary-General and CEO Dona Regis-Prosper and Faye Gill, Director of Membership Services, will attend at the CORFERIAS business and exhibition center from March 19 to 21, 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn an era where connectivity is the driving force behind recovery and progress, our participation in Routes Americas is a significant step for the Caribbean. It\u2019s a platform that allows us to amplify our presence and forge essential partnerships within the global aviation ecosystem,\u201d emphasized Regis-Prosper. \u201cThis is a part and parcel of our continued commitment to enhancing the region\u2019s visibility and fostering meaningful interactions that pave the way for more connections to and within the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n
In anticipation of Routes Americas, CTO, in collaboration with Airport Strategy & Marketing (ASM), recently hosted a groundbreaking two-day training event in Barbados on airline route development titled \u201cAviation Marketing, Incentives & Negotiation\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Regis-Prosper, this initiative signifies a crucial step in the organization\u2019s strategy to enhance air access to and from the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
Throughout the three-day event in South America, delegates will engage in an immersive program featuring face-to-face meetings, networking opportunities, and access to exclusive industry insights.<\/p>\n
A highlight of the event is the Caribbean-focused panel discussion \u201cAviation Competitiveness in the Caribbean\u201d, scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, from 2:35 pm to 3:20 pm.<\/p>\n
Panelists include Kenneth Romer (Deputy Director General, The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation); Trevor Sadler (CEO, interCaribbean Airways); Hans van de Velde (CEO, Windward Islands Airways International \u2013 WINAIR); Rafael Echevarne (Director General Latin America & Caribbean, Airports Council International \u2013 ACI); and Peter Cerd\u00e1 (Regional Vice President, The Americas, IATA), with David Appleby (Director, ASM) moderating.<\/p>\n
This session will explore the competitive landscape of the Caribbean aviation sector, highlighting efforts to boost air connectivity within the region and to emerging markets in South America and Europe.<\/p>\n
Despite challenges of several destinations recovering to pre-2019 levels of flight frequencies and seat availability, the discussion promises to uncover strategic approaches toward financial and traffic resurgence and explore new growth avenues in the aviation sector.<\/p>\n
During the conference, the CTO team will meet with its members and airline partners. The CTO\u2019s Caribbean-themed booth will be located at Stand S24.<\/p>\n
