Produced by the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), Caribbean Travel Marketplace will return to Puerto Rico January 28-30, 2015 where the region’s largest and most important marketing event will be held at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan for the first time since January 2010.

“We have chosen Puerto Rico as the host country for Caribbean Travel Marketplace 2015 because of the world-class facilities offered at the Puerto Rico Convention Center as well as the accessibility of the destination for the CHTA membership and the international delegates that will be in attendance,” said Jeffrey Vasser, CHA, director general and CEO of CHTA.

Over the course of its two days, Caribbean Travel Marketplace affords hotels and destinations of all sizes the opportunity to meet face-to-face with wholesalers selling Caribbean vacation travel. In 2014, Caribbean Travel Marketplace saw 11,560 pre-scheduled appointments between Caribbean hoteliers, destinations and attractions and the international buyers.

“Puerto Rico is honored to have been chosen by the CHTA as host of the Caribbean Travel Marketplace 2015, an event vital for the hotel and tourism industries of the entire CHTA membership,” stated Ingrid I. Rivera Rocafort, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. “As host country, we can showcase our five-star destination to delegates so they can experience our excellent accommodations, attractions, meeting venues, and sample our unique culture first-hand,” Rivera Rocafort added.
