The Linkages Survey is part of the ongoing work of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s (CHTA) Linkages Task Force, which is dedicated to advancing stronger economic integration between the region’s tourism industry and local productive sectors. This initiative seeks to assess the scope and effectiveness of linkages-related activities undertaken by National Hotel and Tourism Associations (NHTAs) to strengthen trade ties between hotels and local farmers, manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and other enterprises supplying locally sourced goods and services.
The findings will inform future strategies to enhance local participation in the tourism value chain, promote sustainability, and support policy advocacy aimed at fostering inclusive economic growth across the Caribbean.
