The hotel industry is critical to the Caribbean region’s economy. More than 2,300 hotels, ranging from large all-inclusive resorts to small owner-operated guesthouses, offer over 240,000 rooms to business and leisure visitors. Between 2008 and 2011, the Caribbean tourism sector has experienced a series of challenges, including declining visitors and visitor spending, increasing global competition, and increasing input costs, particularly for energy. Two organizations, the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association and the Caribbean Tourism Organization, represent the interests of the hotel sector and tourism industry, respectively, and are committed to ensuring a sustainable tourism industry.
