Celebrating World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture

Today, the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association proudly joins the global community in celebrating World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture.

The Caribbean is a vibrant mosaic of cultures, rhythms, and traditions deeply rooted in African heritage. From our soulful music and spirited dance to our diverse culinary flavors and art, African and Afrodescendant culture has profoundly shaped the identity and heart of our region.

This day is a time to honor the enduring contributions of African heritage to the Caribbean’s rich tapestry. It’s also a moment to reflect on the resilience, creativity, and unity of the African diaspora, which continues to inspire our communities and enrich our visitor experiences.

We invite all hospitality and tourism professionals to celebrate and amplify the voices, stories, and traditions of African and Afrodescendant cultures in their properties, tours, and events. Let us continue to showcase the depth of our heritage and share its beauty with the world.

Happy World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture!

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, we reflect on the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a beacon of hope, equality, and peace. His dream of unity and justice resonates far beyond borders, inspiring us to create a world where diversity is celebrated and everyone feels valued.

In the Caribbean, where vibrant cultures come together in harmony, we are reminded of the beauty of inclusivity and the power of community. As we continue to welcome visitors from all over the globe, let us honor Dr. King’s vision by fostering kindness, respect, and equity in every experience.
