New Caribbean tourism guide released

Travellers planning a trip to the Caribbean in the future can now make use of a new guide that has been released by the region's tourism authority.

The UK chapter of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) has released its 52-page publication and over the coming weeks will be circulating it to some 50,000 customers and travel industry representatives.

Attendees at trade and consumer shows over the coming months will be able to pick up a copy of the guide, which provides information on Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia and the rest of the Caribbean's 34 holiday destinations.

The brochure, which is also available online, explores a variety of different topics, including local beaches, island hopping, diving, family holidays and the 'green' side of the Caribbean.

Carol Hay, the CTO's director of marketing in the UK and Europe, said that the guide is the "definitive manual" to the region.

She added: "This year's guide will also contain invaluable insider tips and 'hidden gem' suggestions, which are sure to prove a hit with both members of the trade and consumers.

"The CTO UK chapter looks forward to using the guide for training and marketing throughout the year and continuing in our endeavours to continually raise awareness of the countless faces of the Caribbean and its food, music, rum and colourful charisma."
