The dates and theme for the 30th Annual Caribbean Tourism Conference (CTC-30) which will take place in Puerto Rico Oct. 19-24, 2007 with business meetings Oct. 19-21 and the conference sessions taking place Oct. 21-24 have been revealed by the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO).



The theme of this year’s conference is: The Next Generation: Learning from the past, Preparing for the future



For the third year in a row, conference participants will earn continuing education credits through George Washington University for attending the CTC Master Classes. Master Classes involve in-depth study of topics affecting the tourism industry using case studies and best-practices. They are designed for travel agents as well as general delegates.



Other program highlights include hotel and site inspections for travel agents, destination spotlight presentations for agents, specialized workshops, and the very popular Conde Nast Traveler “My Caribbean Essay Contest” and the Travel + Leisure “Youth Congress.”



In addition, there are guided product tours for general delegates, media activities presented by the host venue and by other CTO member countries, and awards events – including the Fifth Annual Travel Writer and Photographer Awards and the Third Annual Creativity in Travel Awards for travel agents.



A series of business meetings involving Ministers and Commissioners of Tourism, the Board of Directors and various CTO committees will immediately precede the conference beginning on Oct. 19 with the Conference Opening Keynote Address taking place on Sunday Oct. 21.



The conference is the Caribbean region’s premier caucus of tourism decision-makers and an important event on the calendar of tourism practitioners and individuals doing business with the Caribbean.



This year, CTO expects to host over 600 tourism industry officials representing Caribbean governments, hotels, airlines, cruise lines, travel agents, tour operators, strategic partners and media representatives from around the world.
