Antigua and Barbuda is set to welcome 500 tourism industry partners for the 44th annual Caribbean Hotels and Tourism Association (CHTA) Caribbean Travel Marketplace (CTM).

The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) announced that this marks the country's second consecutive year hosting the prestigious regional event, which is scheduled to take place in May.

The Caribbean Travel Marketplace is one of the most significant gatherings in the regional tourism calendar, bringing together hoteliers, tour operators, travel agents, and industry stakeholders from across the Caribbean and beyond. Hosting the event for a second straight year underscores Antigua and Barbuda's growing stature as a leading destination and a hub for regional tourism commerce.
