Caribbean Roadshow in Barcelona: complete ✅

What a fantastic evening in Barcelona, where more than 30 trade partners joined us at Joosy Gastro for our first Caribbean Roadshow in the city.

Guests enjoyed a beautifully curated Caribbean three-course dinner, with many experiencing Caribbean cuisine for the very first time. As Chef Leon says, food is art, and we are grateful to the entire Joosy Gastro team for their talent, their hospitality, and for creating such a warm setting that truly felt like home.

Next stops of our Grand European Caribbean Roadshow: Utrecht and Ghent!

Naples set the tone for the second stop of our Caribbean European Tour 🇮🇹

Joined by six members, we continued our journey across Europe last week, welcoming a strong presence of leading Italian tour operators alongside a selection of high-end travel agencies, further reaffirming the market’s growing appetite for premium Caribbean experiences.

Hosted at the stunning De Bonart Naples, the evening was framed by breathtaking views over Mount Vesuvius and across to Capri — a fitting backdrop to evoke our picturesque Caribbean landscapes.

A sincere thank you to all partners and attendees for contributing to such a dynamic and engaging event. We now look forward to bringing the spirit of the Caribbean to Barcelona this week!

Celebrating Love and Friendship Across the Caribbean ❤️🌺

Today we mark Valentine’s Day — known in many Caribbean and Latin cultures as Día del Amor y la Amistad — a day that celebrates not only romantic love but also the deep bonds of friendship and community that define our region’s spirit. This inclusive interpretation emphasises connection with partners, friends and family alike.

At the Caribbean Tourism Organisation Chapter UK & Europe, we appreciate how these cultural values of warmth and solidarity resonate across our work and partnerships. A heartfelt thank you to our members: your dedication and collaboration strengthen our mission and unite Caribbean tourism across the region.

Here's to many more years of making our travellers' romantic holiday dreams come true! 🌅💌 🫶🏽💕

CTO Chapter Networking and Insights Afternoon Tea — hosted by Wanderlust Travel Magazine ✈️📊🥂

Our first event of 2026 set a high bar, bringing together over 50 members from 19 different National Tourist Boards!

We are grateful to the Wanderlust Travel Media team — the #1 travel magazine in the UK with a circulation of 300k per issue across 70 countries — for their warm hospitality and thoughtful touches, from champagne to rum cakes, which created the perfect environment for exchange and insight.

The session offered fresh perspectives on CTO Chapter trade, media, and consumer priorities for the year ahead, alongside a detailed look at Wanderlust’s brand positioning and the findings from their latest audience research.

To top it all, we were proud to see five of our members featured in Wanderlust’s 2026 Good To Go list, showcasing the incredible diversity and richness of the Caribbean’s tourism offerings. Congratulations to Visit Barbados, Belize Tourism Board, Discover Puerto Rico, Discover Guyana, and Tobago Tourism Agency!

With a full calendar of initiatives ahead, we encourage all members and partners to stay actively engaged as we continue to elevate the Caribbean’s presence together in the UK and European markets.

Happy New Year! 🎆🎉 As we begin 2026, we take a moment to reflect on some highlights from the past year of promoting Caribbean tourism across the UK and European markets:

✅ TOURISM STATS: The Caribbean region welcomed a whopping 18 million+ overnight visitors and 20 million+ cruise visitors in the first half of 2025, source: Caribbean Tourism Organization ✈️🛳️🧳

✅ CHAPTER EVENTS: The CTO Chapter UK & Europe delivered 23 high-impact events across 7 countries, reinforcing the Caribbean’s presence in key source markets. These activations engaged and trained over 500 travel agents, strengthening product knowledge, advocacy, and long-term sales for the region. 📆🎤🎉

✅ STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS: In close collaboration with the Caribbean Tourism Organization, the Chapter built strategic partnerships with leading brands and institutions such as Skyscanner, The Travel Network Group, Wanderlust Travel Magazine, The Telegraph, Daily Mail Metro, and the National Windrush Museum, among others, helping elevate the Caribbean’s profile beyond traditional channels. 🤝💼

As we move into 2026, we do so with strong momentum—building on last year’s achievements through an expanded digital programme, the launch of a new webinar series, and the return of flagship events including the Grand European Tour, CTO Summer Ball, and Caribbean Showcase.

None of this progress would have been possible without the continued commitment, collaboration, and trust of our partners. Together, we continue to demonstrate the strength of One Caribbean, united by a shared ambition to position the region at the forefront of global travel.

Thank you for your support, and again we wish you a very Happy New Year! 🎆
