CTO na ACI-LAC Mepolongo Kindugu ya Kujenga Muunganiko wa Anga wa Karibi

Agreement details and operational focus

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) and Airports Council International – Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC) was signed at the close of the first CTO Air Connectivity Summit ní Bermuda, establishing a non‑binding framework to improve njikọ ụgbọ elu, institutional capacity and sustainable tourism development across CTO member states.

Core deliverables and timeframe

The MoU specifies an initial three‑year period during which CTO and ACI-LAC will act as regional coordinators for joint initiatives. Key operational priorities include enhanced air access, human capital development, and measures to increase destination resilience and competitiveness.

At a glance: Immediate implications for travel logistics

Airports and tourism authorities across the Caribbean now have an explicit framework to align schedules, route planning, and capacity‑building programs. This alignment is intended to reduce transfer friction, create more direct connections between islands, and improve predictability for tour operators and travelers alike.

Planned activities under the MoU

The partnership envisages a portfolio of collaborative tools and events to be deployed regionally. These efforts are designed both to inform policy and to translate into practical benefits for inbound and intra‑Caribbean travel.

• Conferences and summits: co‑hosted events to set regional agendas;
• Workshops and roundtables: tactical sessions for destination operators and airport managers;
• Executive education and technical training: professional development to raise operational standards;
• Joint research and data sharing: studies on connectivity, economic impacts and sustainability;
• Pilot initiatives: targeted trials to test new route models, resilience measures and joint marketing.

How these measures affect tourism operations

Better coordination between airports and tourism stakeholders should shorten lead times for tour package design, improve reliability of inter‑island transfers, and make it easier to assemble multi‑island itineraries such as cruise packages, ọ̀nà ìgbàwọ́ àwọn ọkọ́ ojú omi aládùúgbó tàbí ìrìn-àjò safarì on larger islands. Tour operators who have a mind to expand multi‑destination offerings will benefit from clearer data and stronger advocacy on air service incentives.

Roles and leadership

CTO leadership emphasized regional competitiveness and accessibility as central goals. Dona Regis-Prosper, CTO secretary‑general and CEO, framed the cooperation as a strategic effort to keep the Caribbean “competitive, accessible and resilient” in a changing global travel landscape. Rafael Echevarne, director general of ACI‑LAC, noted the arrangement strengthens collaboration between airports and tourism stakeholders and supports coordinated planning and capacity building.
