Barbados’ Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Ian Gooding-Edghill, has been elected chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO).
He was elected, earlier this week, at the CTO’s annual general meeting in the Cayman Islands.
Mr Gooding-Edghill said: “It is a great honour for Barbados to be chosen to represent the region at this level. I am deeply committed to working with my colleagues across the Caribbean to strengthen our tourism sector, drive sustainable growth, and navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will continue to position the Caribbean as the world’s leading tourist destination.”
As chairman, Mr Gooding-Edghill will lead the CTO’s Council of Ministers and Commissioners of Tourism for the next two years, guiding the organisation’s strategic efforts to enhance and promote tourism across the region.
