The fund aims to encourage and support Caribbean hospitality professionals in pursuing training and education related to resilience building, sustainable and regenerative tourism principles, and destination stewardship.
Given tourism’s vital role in many Caribbean economies, industry stakeholders have been encouraged to proactively strengthen the resilience of their businesses, communities and countries in the face of the continuing threats of climate change.
Tracy Bell, CHTAEF programme manager, said: "We recognise the importance of creating a more resilient and inclusive Caribbean tourism industry, and this will be best achieved if our Caribbean hospitality professionals have an opportunity to learn more and be inspired."
