CHTA Opens Registration for 2026 Caribbean Travel Marketplace in Antigua, May 12-15
Registration is now open for Caribbean Travel Marketplace (CTM) 2026, the Caribbean’s leading tourism business forum, which will take place May 12–15 in Antigua and Barbuda, the host destination for this year’s edition. The event is presented by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) and brings together key stakeholders from across the regional and international tourism industry.
Now in its 44th year, Caribbean Travel Marketplace continues to position itself as a strategic platform connecting hotels, destinations, and tourism businesses with decision-makers from major source markets. Its centralized format helps reduce the cost and time of global sales efforts while enhancing the collective visibility of the Caribbean as a unified tourism region.
CHTA President Sanovnik Destang emphasized that the 2026 edition will build on the momentum of last year’s event, at a time when the industry is navigating shifting traveler expectations, policy changes, and evolving market trends. He noted that the Marketplace aims not only to connect buyers and sellers, but also to provide guidance that helps strengthen the region’s resilience and competitiveness.
From the host destination, Colin C. James, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, welcomed the return of Caribbean Travel Marketplace, highlighting that the event generates direct business for the region while showcasing the culture, hospitality, and connectivity that define the destination.
Caribbean Travel Marketplace 2026 is supported by key industry partners, including ABA Global Marketing, Interval International, and MasterCard as Platinum Partners, as well as Amadeus and Maestro PMS + Silverware POS as Gold Partners. Registration is now available through the event’s official channels.
