Barbados Hotelier Has High Hopes for Caribbean Travel Marketplace

Former president of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism and Association Patricia Affonso-Dass believes the 41st annual Caribbean Travel Marketplace, to be held in Barbados May 9-11, can be a defining moment for the travel trade body. The Barbados-based hotelier, who runs Ocean Hotels Group on the island, said Caribbean Travel Marketplace has special significance this year because “it represents and showcases our region’s and association’s ability to transform, change and reinvent to meet the ever-changing needs, demands and realities of this dynamic industry.” For only the second time in its history, the event will be hosted in the Eastern Caribbean.

Customer Service Tip

Strong Leaders Show Grace


Do strong leaders show grace? The answer is yes, when necessary. As strong leaders, we must always look for potential in others (without sacrificing our high expectations). Sometimes we have to give people opportunities, and coach them with an expectancy of excellence, even if they don't deserve it. Takeaway: Oftentimes, the right mix of high expectations, accountability, grace and love are all that's needed to unlock someone's capacity for excellence. Read more from Bryan Williams.
