Outreach

CHTA Education Foundation at Marketplace 2009
The Education Foundation teamed with the St. Lucian Ministries of Education & Tourism to host many groups of secondary school students to the "Business on the Beach" working floor area. The Education Foundation hosted interactive sessions with the students to define tourism, the role of hotels within their island, the importance of tour operators to St. Lucian hoteliers and how contracts are negotiated. The students toured the working floor area and individually reported back on their favorite St. Lucian and regional property and why this place had caught their eye and imagination and how tourists would enjoy it.

20 of the visiting students were aiming for careers in tourism and 4 were focused on becoming general managers of resorts on their beautiful island.
