Bermuda will host 12th Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Conference
“We are honoured to host STC-12 in Bermuda,” said Sen. Bean at a news conference. “We look forward to an action-based programme that builds on the recommendations coming out of STC-11.”
The CTO – the organiser of the conference – and the Bermuda government have already begun discussion on a date, which is expected to be announced soon. Work is also expected to begin on a programme shortly.
The announcement of Bermuda as host came at the end of STC-11 which ran from 9-12 May at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre in Bridgetown. Over 250 delegates – including tourism industry officials and the media – participated in a series of seminars, workshops and study tourism aimed at setting the foundation on which to build a world class sustainable tourism product in the region.
The conference ended with a call to action by the CTO Secretary General, Hugh Riley. Mr. Riley called on delegates attending the conference, as well as citizens of the Caribbean, to take action to preserve the regions assets and to sustain the tourism industry. The CTO secretary general said the conference achieved two of its immediate goals – presenting information and getting delegates to pay attention – but the region’s tourism development agency was counting on everyone to help it achieve the third goal.
“We thought that it should be meaningful enough to make a connection between real world matters and people’s concerns about being responsible and about preservation of our assets in the Caribbean. The three messages of STC-11 are, here are the facts; pay some attention and take some action,” Mr. Riley said. “We want delegates to leave with knowledge of one action that they will take to change their behaviour.’ Under questioning from TravelMole Riley stated’ we do recognise however that we do not have a ‘one size fits all’ policy for all our member countries. The level to which they implement sustainability has to be taken on a case by case basis. One of the critical factors is however the involvement of our citizens in the decision making process. Each community and country has different priorities and aspirations ‘.
