CORAL GABLES, FLA.—The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) has signed a Strategic Partnership agreement with Green Globe Certification to work with and support the Caribbean hospitality industry. The agreement designates Green Globe Certification as both a Strategic Partner of CHTA and a member of the Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (CAST) Governing Council.

“We are pleased to add Green Globe Certification to our elite group of supporters of the Caribbean hospitality industry,” said Alec Sanguinetti, director general and CEO of CHTA. “The synergies between Green Globe Certification and our own CAST will bring enhanced awareness and benefits to our entire membership. They and our other Strategic Partners recognize the importance of tourism and the hospitality sector, and our impact on the economy of the region.”

“We are pleased to have Green Globe Certification as a Strategic Partner of CHTA and a member of our CAST Governing Council,” said Sir Royston Hopkin, CAST chairman. “Their expertise will broaden our view of sustainable tourism and bring multiple benefits to our members. I look forward to working closely with them from this point forward.”

Strong Caribbean Presence

“Since Green Globe’s inception in 1994, the Caribbean has had more Green Globe certified properties than any other region in the world,” said Guido Bauer, CEO of the California-based Green Globe Certification. “After many years supporting sustainable tourism in the Caribbean we are honored to take on such an important and prestigious role as a CHTA Strategic Partner and a member of the CAST Governing Council.”

Green Globe Certification will assist CHTA members in learning about and meeting the requirements for its certification program. To support its activities Green Globe Certification will utilize its representatives in St Vincent, Grand Cayman, Dominican Republic, Anguilla, Jamaica and Miami.

CHTA and CAST will actively promote and endorse the Green Globe Certification program. Green Globe Certification may consider using CAST personnel for the purposes of environmental auditing and other related activities in the Caribbean.

Green Globe Certification will be a sponsor of CHTA conferences and events including Caribbean Marketplace, January 2010, the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Investment Conference (CHTIC) in May 2010, The Small Hotels Retreat, October 2010, and the Leadership Conference in May 2010 where they will have the opportunity to present to the association executives and presidents of national hotel associations from more than 20 countries.
