The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) emphasized the importance of cultural tourism at the 15th World Tourism Event (WTE) in Genoa, Italy.

Ramgulam further asserted that this type of tourism promotes the preservation of local cultures and strengthens community identity, while also creating opportunities for sustainable development.

The WTE, a prestigious international event, brought together tourism leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders from around the globe to focus on the sustainable development of heritage tourism products.

As part of the UNESCO Transcultura initiative, funded by the European Union, the Caribbean region was prominently featured, with a dedicated stand showcasing its unique World Heritage destinations and vibrant regional culture.

Ramgulam represented the Caribbean during a panel discussion alongside former CTO Sustainable Tourism Specialist Amanda Charles. Together, they addressed the challenges and opportunities of sustainable cultural tourism in the Caribbean.

The event also provided an essential platform for networking with UNESCO officials and other tourism leaders.

Regis-Prosper highlighted that, for the first time, the CTO has presented sustainable heritage tourism strategies in the Caribbean to such an international audience.
