During the recent ITB Berlin 2026 event, leaders from Caribbean tourism emphasized the urgent need for accelerated and financially prepared climate adaptation strategies.<\/p>\n

According to a Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) release, they cautioned that reliance on theoretical frameworks and disjointed funding efforts is leaving tourism-reliant destinations particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n

In a session titled \u201cThe Climate Adaptation Gap in Tourism: From Risk to Resilience,\u201d Dona Regis-Prosper, Secretary-General and CEO of\u00a0 CTO, highlighted the region\u2019s direct and ongoing encounters with extreme weather events. She remarked, \u201cThere is no teacher as great as a practical experience,\u201d referencing her personal encounters with destructive hurricanes affecting the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Building upon her firsthand knowledge, Regis-Prosper called for a transition from conceptual approaches to tangible, actionable measures aimed at adaptation and resilience.<\/p>\n

She reportedly emphasized the critical role of collaboration between public and private sectors, as well as the importance of media engagement, in confronting the ongoing threats posed by climate change to the region\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>\n

CTO Deputy Director of Sustainable Tourism Narendra Ramgulam also emphasized the Caribbean\u2019s frontline exposure to climate impacts during an earlier session, \u201cThese Ideas Will Transform Tourism,\u201d where he evaluated new tools aimed at assessing climate and nature risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you talk about climate risk, we see it and we feel it more than others,\u201d he said, noting that reef degradation, beach erosion and other environmental changes are already affecting the visitor experience and tourism livelihoods across the region.<\/p>\n

Ramgulam stressed that new solutions must work for smaller island states with limited resources. He also pointed to a persistent regional challenge in translating climate priorities into funded projects. \u201cAcross the Caribbean, there\u2019s no shortage of climate risk information or project ideas,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat we consistently struggle with is turning those priorities into finance projects which can actually move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

CTO also reported that a highlight of the convention was the renewal of a partnership between the Organization and The Travel Foundation, strengthening the framework for collaboration aimed at advancing sustainable, climate-resilient and community-centered tourism across the Caribbean. The updated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by Regis-Prosper and The Travel Foundation CEO Jeremy Sampson, marks a bolstering of the partnership between the two organizations.<\/p>\n

Sampson affirmed, \u201cThe Caribbean is on the frontlines of climate change, but it is also at the forefront of innovation. This partnership is grounded in a shared belief that the future competitiveness of Caribbean tourism depends on its ability to deliver equitable benefits for local communities while adapting to the growing impacts of climate change. The collaboration offers a platform to align climate action, destination stewardship and resourcing pathways, supporting CTO and its members to ensure tourism continues to serve communities while adapting to growing risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regis-Prosper noted the partnership \u201caligns with the CTO Reimagine Plan and reinforces our commitment to leading sustainable tourism across the Caribbean. Through this collaboration, we will work with our member states and partners to advance a shared regional approach that strengthens resilience, advances community benefit and ensures our tourism sector remains competitive in a changing climate.\u201d<\/p>\n

CTO said its representatives maintained a “prominent stand” throughout the three-day convention, holding bilateral meetings under a unified Caribbean banner to build partnerships on resilience and regenerative tourism.<\/p>\n
