CHA applauds economic partnership agreement with Europe
The Board of Directors of the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA), at the meeting during Marketplace 2008, has praised the recently concluded Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union, a first-ever, alliance that will ensure continued support of tourism interests in the Caribbean. This is the first-ever international treaty to include language on Caribbean tourism and thus gives recognition to the importance of the development of the tourism industry that has become central to the future success of the regional economy. As a result of this just concluded agreement, CHA looks forward to the establishment of an appropriate Cariforum mechanism that will lead to the rapid implementation of what has been agreed in order that the industry may improve its competitiveness in preparation for the agreed upon level of services liberalisation.
