CaribbeanTourismOrganisation (CTO) chairman Allen Chastanet says despite conditions in the international travel market favouring growth, the Caribbean's share of the world market is in decline.
CTO statistics to 2004 shows average growth in regional tourism arrivals of 7.1 per cent compared to world growth of 10.7 per cent.
He later told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that the conference provided an opportunity to help build the confidence of the region through meetings with key private sector players the hotel chains, the bank institutions, the development corporations who would all share and assess where the Caribbean was at and how it could be successful.
