Call for Caribbean tourism industry to advance hurricane preparedness
The Caribbean Tourism Organization and the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association have urged the tourism industry to step up preparations for the Atlantic hurricane season.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting ‘above average’ activity this year.
Up to 21 named storms have been forecast, with six to 10 having the likelihood of becoming hurricanes
It predicts up to six could be major hurricanes of Category 3 or above.
CTO and CHTA will be undertaking separate as well as joint initiatives to increase awareness across the region to reinforce preparations.
“The importance of preparedness cannot be reiterated enough. It has proven to be one of the key factors enabling the sector to make swift and solid recoveries,” Acting CTO Secretary-General Neil Walters said.
Both CTO and CHTA believe high levels of preparedness have enabled Caribbean destinations to rebound swiftly from natural disasters.
As part of their activities, the two organizations are conducting a two-part readiness training session for public and private sector tourism managers on June 10 and Thursday, June 30.
