In a landmark move to enhance sustainable and inclusive tourism, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has formalized a partnership with Travel Unity, a New York-based nonprofit. The agreement, signed this past summer by Roni Weiss, Executive Director of Travel Unity, and Dona Regis-Prosper, Secretary-General & CEO of CTO, aims to foster inclusive practices across the Caribbean’s tourism sector. The collaboration leverages Travel Unity’s expertise in accessible travel to position the Caribbean as a globally welcoming destination. Travel Unity, established in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, focuses on making travel accessible through education, professional development, and community engagement. The Memorandum of Understanding outlines joint initiatives, including annual webinars on inclusive tourism, sharing regional success stories, collaborative travel promotions, and youth engagement through CTO’s Nex-Gen Tourism Showcase. Travel Unity will spotlight CTO’s initiatives and provide speaking opportunities for CTO representatives at international events. In return, CTO will promote Travel Unity’s educational programs and webinars within its network. Dona Regis-Prosper emphasized the partnership’s significance, stating it underscores CTO’s commitment to socially inclusive tourism and equips members with tools to enhance long-term competitiveness.
