The Caribbean

Tourism Organization (CTO), the source of tourism ,

research and news, and the Africa Travel Association (ATA), the travel

industry trade association promoting tourism to Africa, have signed a

partnership agreement that will support both organizations' endeavours

to promote tourism to their respective regions.
In the Memorandum of

Understanding, the two regions have also pledged to help each other

increase business opportunities and develop sustainable tourism.
"The

CTO and the ATA share many common tourism interests and challenges,

including the British Air Passenger Duty and this partnership agreement

paves the way for us to support each other's ideals," said Hugh Riley,

the CTO's secretary general.
Under the new partnership agreement, CTO

and ATA will share reciprocal membership, offer discounted services and

products, and consider a joint tourism research project. The two

associations will also encourage their members to travel to and promote

each other's regions as travel destinations and to participate in each

other's major events, including conferences, trade shows, and

congresses.
"CTO and ATA both understand the value in building a

strong link between the African Diaspora and both the Caribbean and

Africa and the role tourism promotion and investment can play in this

process," said Edward Bergman, ATA Executive Director. "ATA is excited

to partner with CTO and to learn from the association's vast experience

in turning the Caribbean into one of the world's most popular

destinations under the banner of the "Caribbean."
The Africa Travel

Association (ATA) was established as an international travel industry

trade association in 1975 with a mission to promote travel and tourism

to Africa, and to strengthen intra-Africa partnerships. As the world's

premier travel industry trade association, ATA provides services to a

broad range of members including: tourism, diaspora, culture, and sports

ministers, tourism boards, airlines, hoteliers, travel agents, tour

operators, travel trade media, public relations firms, consulting

companies, non-profit organizations, businesses, small and medium-sized

enterprises, and other organizations engaged in tourism promotion.
