CMEX No 12 for Puerto Rico 2009
The 12th edition of CMex, the Caribbean Media Exchange, will take place in Puerto Rico from May 15 through May 19, and will bring together leading health, environmental and cultural experts from destinations in the Caribbean and the Americas to discuss strategies that will enrich local culture and the protection of the environment through sustainable tourism, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company announced recently.
The theme of this year’s conference will be “Embracing the Diaspora, Linking Communities.”
According to the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, “The information presented at CMex will provide the tools for destinations to embrace sustainable tourism practices that will improve the health, natural resources and culture of these places. Well-planned tourism initiatives can stimulate economic and cultural growth without compromising a destination’s natural and cultural resources.”
Counterpart International, the organization behind CMex, aims to educate the public, and the media, about the most pressing issues facing sustainable tourism. According to the president and executive director of the organization, Lelei LeLaulu, “Puerto Rico stands out in the Caribbean for the advances it has made in enriching its culture and protecting the environment while fomenting tourism to their island. Our goal, at this edition of CMex, is to see how the rest of the Caribbean can emulate this model.”
The next edition of CMex is sponsored by Almond Resorts, the Association of Caribbean Media Workers, the Barbara Pyle Foundation, Bay Gardens Resorts, Black Entertainment Television (BET-J), Caribbean Broadcasting Unit, Coco Resorts, Counterpart Caribbean, Rudder Finn and SpeakEasy MEDIA and the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
