How will you define ITB, as a fair, a tradeshow or meeting grounds for tourism professionals?
ITB Berlin is the world´s leading travel trade show. It is the industry’s most international trade visitor event in the world and offers the most balanced and most international portfolio of exhibitors in the world.
As the tourism industry is aware, this 11th Annual Conference on Sustainable Tourism Conference, (STC-11) will be held from May 9-12, 2010 in Barbados, and is being organized in collaboration with the Barbados Ministry of Tourism. For the first time in several years is bringing even more synergy between the Association of Caribbean States (ACS), and the CTO, as Barbados is a part of ACS and CTO at the same time.
This is Gail Henry’s debut at the Sustainable Tourism Conference. She is the official of CTO for this STC, and for several months she has been dedicated in soul and spirit to the programming and organization of this important event. Now, expectations are growing, new flights are announced to make it easy to attend, and more and more tourism professionals are interested in attending this conference that will take place in Barbados from May 9th-12th of this year.
