Your Travel Experience with Caribbean Travel and Tours
For SOTIC 2026 in Guyana, the focus is “Tourism Futures: Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive.” This means discussions will centre around questions such as:
- How can Caribbean tourism become smarter?
Exploring technology, innovation, research, AI, data, and new ways to improve the visitor experience.
- How can tourism become more sustainable?
Looking at environmental protection, climate resilience, responsible tourism, and protecting the Caribbean's natural and cultural resources.
- How can tourism benefit more people?
Discussing community involvement, job creation, local businesses, youth opportunities, and making sure tourism growth benefits Caribbean communities.
- What challenges and opportunities lie ahead?
Topics can include air connectivity, investment, visitor trends, workforce development, destination competitiveness, and the future direction of Caribbean tourism.
SOTIC 2026 will also feature a Caribbean Tourism Research Forum, providing a space for researchers, tourism professionals, policymakers, and students to share ideas and explore practical solutions to challenges facing the region. So, in simple terms: SOTIC is where the Caribbean comes together to discuss, innovate, collaborate, and help shape the future of tourism in the region.
