British Airways launches guide to help flyers with autism

  British Airways has partnered with Learning Rose, an organisation that develops support material for people with autism, in a move marking World Autism Acceptance Week to launch a Visual Guide to make travel easier for customers with autism.

Challenges ahead for Caribbean tourism, CHTA survey says

Caribbean tourism has excelled at rebounding post-pandemic, but there are other factors at play that could slow the tourism sector this year.

Dominican Republic bets on Latin America to compensate for the drop in European tourists

Andrés Marranzini, the vice president of the Association of Hotels and Tourism (Asonahores), has revealed that the Dominican Republic’s tourism sector is focusing on increasing the number of passengers from Latin America to compensate for the decline in European visitors. This comes after several European airlines canceled flights to the country due to the surcharge on jet fuel prices. Marranzini acknowledged that challenges persist in the local travel and tourism industry, including high hydrocarbon prices and air connectivity. However, he remains optimistic about the creation of new air routes that connect the Dominican Republic with potential source markets for tourists from Latin America, which would generate foreign currency and new jobs. Airlines such as Arajet, Air Century, and Equair are among those seeking to operate new routes to connect the Dominican Republic with cities in Cuba, Aruba, Curaçao, Saint Marteen, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Jamaica, Mexico, and Ecuador. The hope is [...]

TTC Special: Caribbean tourism. An enemy is on the loose: sargassum

By Frank Martin Sargassum is a marine alga that inhabits the world's temperate and tropical oceans in shallow waters and coral reefs. It is also an increasingly feared enemy by the tourism industry in the Caribbean and especially on some Mexican beaches. It may seem harmless at first glance. But it will suffice to mention a feared phenomenon linked to its increase in the seas to fear it: climate change with its ally global warming. One scientific discovery that seems irrefutable is that abnormally warming of world’s seas are causing currents that are carrying more and more sargassum into the Caribbean including waters near the Mexican coast. These high temperatures have been getting worse for almost a century and a half. Something that makes the phenomenon visible is the increasingly concentration of sargassum. Since 2015, the year in which climate change became very evident due to the temperature in the Caribbean [...]

Tourism as a key pillar of sustainable development

UNWTO centered tourism as a key pillar of sustainable development at the 5th United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries. The conference, held in Doha around the theme of “From Potential to Prosperity” came at the pivotal half-way point in the timeline to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and fully implement the 2030 agenda. With the sector accounting for 7% of total exports, and as much as 10% for non-oil exporting LDCs, tourism has proven its power to drive development. The crosscutting and labor-intensive nature of tourism also creates links to many other economic sectors and positions it as a valuable contributor to national development strategies and support to entrepreneurs, the backbone of the sector. Tourism has been one of the key factors enabling the graduation of LDCs which are also Small Island Developing States, including Cabo Verde, Samoa, Maldives and most recently Vanuatu.
