Delegates can look forward to engaging in productive

New for this years event is the Marketplace Responsible
Tourism Day, slated for May 23, 2024, and designed to promote sustainable
tourism development, highlighted by giving back to local communities. Delegates
will engage in activities that positively impact the local Jamaican community.
The initiative is part of a broader movement towards responsible tourism,
emphasizing the need for environmentally sustainable, economically beneficial
and culturally respectful practices in the travel industry.
Since our initial efforts to aid hurricane victims in
Puerto Rico at the 2022 Marketplace event, the inclusion of Responsible Tourism
Day has remained a top priority, said Nicola Madden-Greig, President of CHTA.
We are delighted that this year marks its official launch, solidifying
responsible and sustainable tourism practices within our meetings, she added.
