Carol Hay, Director of Marketing UK and Europe, Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO), said, “We are delighted that both the CTO and the Telegraph Group have come together to reward the Caribbean region. It is great that the Telegraph readers have recognised that the Caribbean tourism industry has worked very hard to meet the ever changing needs of the UK traveller; from offering bespoke experiences, helping to organise the perfect wedding or honeymoon to specific clubs and packages for a family beach holiday. These awards are just one way of congratulating the members for their outstanding efforts in providing the optimum travel experience and we believe that the region will go from strength to strength, continually improving and meeting the needs of future travellers to the Caribbean.
