Tzaddi Trocard, a student at Dominica Grammar School, has earned the honor of representing Dominica at the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) Tourism Youth Congress. The event, set to take place on October 2, 2025, in Barbados, is a key component of the State of the Tourism Industry Conference (SOTIC), the Caribbean’s foremost forum for discussing tourism advancements and challenges. Trocard secured this prestigious opportunity by winning the local Tourism Youth Congress in May, which coincided with Tourism Awareness Month. At the regional congress, he will present his ideas on “Connecting the Caribbean with Sustainable Transport.” Trocard will be accompanied by his coach and chaperone, Mrs. Dorcus Francis-Simon, an educator at Dominica Grammar School. Expressing his enthusiasm, Trocard remarked, “It is a privilege to represent my school and my country on such a big stage. I want to share ideas that can help us build a more connected and sustainable Caribbean, and I hope to make Dominica proud.” The CTO Tourism Youth Congress provides a platform for secondary school students across the Caribbean to present innovative solutions to critical tourism-related issues, fostering sustainability and resilience in the industry. The competition underscores the vital role of youth in tourism development, aiming to nurture leadership, public speaking, and advocacy skills among young participants.
