In the quest to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the vital tourism industry, Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) member countries must improve their tourism management practices, whether at the public or private sector levels, in all possible spheres of operation.
Best practices are simply the most effective & efficient methods or systems for solving problems or doing things, while minimizing risks and costs. However, best practices must be relevant, realistic and must be part of a continuous improvement strategy. As such, best practices are based on the best available information and in the context of the region’s tourism development goals, must involve management practices and operational processes that lead to world-class performance.

This Caribbean Tourism Legislation Database is meant to serve as a ready and easy-to-use reference source on regional tourism legislation available at CTO Headquarters for consultation. This first edition of the database contains 187 pieces of tourism-related legislation from 20 member countries. It is not a complete coverage of all CTO member countries; nor is it a full compendium of tourism legislation in the Caribbean. But it is perhaps the largest collection of its kind and, to that extent, it is also a unique resource.
