For Guyana, hosting the gathering provides an opportunity to welcome Caribbean tourism stakeholders while showcasing the country’s role within the regional tourism community. The event also creates a platform for discussions about how Caribbean destinations can work together to shape the sector’s future.

Guyana Strengthens Role in Caribbean Tourism Cooperation

Tourism development across the Caribbean depends on connections between destinations, tourism authorities, businesses and industry professionals. SOTIC 2026 provides an opportunity to strengthen these relationships while encouraging collaboration on issues relevant to the region. Guyana’s role as host places the country at the centre of these regional conversations and provides an opportunity to engage directly with tourism stakeholders from across the Caribbean.
