BARBADIAN HOTELIERS AND OTHER INDUSTRY PLAYERS who participate in a major regional tourism conference next month will return home with new ideas to boost their businesses.
That’s the expectation of Barbados Hotel & Tourism Association (BHTA) chief executive officer Sue Springer.
The Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) has tapped leading tourism industry professionals to engage members during the general sessions of the association’s Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF).
The event, scheduled for October 2 to 4 at El Conquistador Resort, a Waldorf Astoria Resort in Puerto Rico, will “bring together global experts with regional expertise to share insight with Caribbean hoteliers and other tourism and hospitality providers”.
Commenting on the event, Springer said: “CHTA is bringing together the best tourism professionals as CHIEF panellists and moderators so all BHTA members can exchange ideas that lead to a more successful and profitable business model.
“Our members who participate in CHIEF will return home with the tools and contacts to help them implement strategies in their businesses right away.”
During the forum, BHTA members “will get the opportunity to learn valuable business practices which can be implemented to generate revenue reduce costs and become more efficient”.
The general session, Peering Into The Future: Turning Knowledge Into Dollars, provides insight into global and regional economic performance, industry and travel trends, and other factors that must be considered when making sound business decisions such as currency fluctuation, taxes, fuel prices and technological changes.
CHIEF offers three days of value-packed and engaging exchange sessions focused on helping businesses to generate revenue, reduce costs and become more efficient. (SC/PR)
