Antigua and Barbuda to host 2025 Caribbean Travel Marketplace
The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) will gather in Antigua and Barbuda for the 43rd Caribbean Travel Marketplace (CTM).
Scheduled for 18-22 May 2025, the event will attract major global buyers and regional suppliers, showcasing Antigua and Barbuda’s growing status as a key player in Caribbean tourism.
“Our twin-island nation has become a focal point for international travel and investment,” said Colin C. James, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
It has recorded a 16% increase in stay-over arrivals this year, surpassing 2019’s record levels.
CHTA President Nicola Madden-Greig said: “Marketplace is undisputedly the Caribbean’s largest and premier marketing event, and we are delighted that Antigua and Barbuda will be the site for this important gathering.”
The 2025 edition of Marketplace will feature Responsible Tourism Day, highlighting the importance of sustainable tourism practices.
The Caribbean Travel Forum, another key event, will bring together public and private sector representatives to discuss critical issues in regional tourism.
The forum will also recognize excellence across the sector with awards for outstanding individuals and organizations.
The Caribbean MICE Exchange returns next year, and CHTA will introduce a new component to this year’s program.
There will be a day focused on maximizing direct online bookings using the latest technology and trends in digital marketing and AI.
