The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and in collaboration with the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO); CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ); and the University of the West Indies (UWI) is implementing The Regional DRM for Sustainable Tourism in the Caribbean Project over the period January 2007 to June 2010. The project is a forty-two (42) month initiative designed to contribute to the reduction of the vulnerability of the Tourism sector in the Caribbean to natural hazards through the development of a Regional Public Good (RPG) which is the Regional Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Framework for Tourism in the Caribbean. The initiative also encompasses the development of a Strategy and Plan of Action for Standards for Conducting Hazard Mapping, Vulnerability Assessment and Economic Valuation for Risk Assessment for the Tourism Sector in the Caribbean, as well as the institutional strengthening of the CTO, CDERA, and their stakeholders in DRM for sustainable Tourism.
Under the DRM Framework, a Regional DRM Strategy and Plan of Action for the Tourism Sector was developed through the collective action of regional as well as national stakeholders in both the Tourism and disaster management sectors. Specifically, the Strategy addresses the elements of: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery which include rehabilitation, and reconstruction. The Strategy and Plan of Action also supports the provisions of the Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) Framework as well as the Caribbean Regional Sustainable Tourism Policy which has been prepared by the CTO.
