“We are the main voice for the Caribbean in the UK, with over 60 members”

Florian Valmy-Devillers, Business Development Management, McKenzie Gayle

We will once again be touring the country with our members for the annual UK Caribbean Roadshow in 2020, and this year we are targeting cities with airports that serve the Caribbean.

Agents can register now for our roadshows. These offer the chance to network with over 60 representatives from the Caribbean including tourist boards, hoteliers, tour operators and more.

This year it will be more interactive than any other year with a focus on new travel trends in the Caribbean and more prizes to be won on the night. This year’s roadshow will be visiting Dublin on May 11, Belfast on May 12, Birmingham on June 29, Manchester on June 30, Plymouth on September 14, Bristol on September 15 and Oxford on September 16. Agents are advised to sign up before March 11 as availability is on a first-come-first-served basis and it tends to book up very fast!

Looking forward

We’ve also just launched our European Major Market initiative which will connect our members to the top-selling European markets for the Caribbean.

The first of these new roadshow will debut in London on October 5, 2020 before heading on to Paris, Munich, Milan and finishing in Madrid.

I’ve also started a new Future Leaders Advisory Council initiative and I’m on the lookout for 10 keen Caribbean experts under 30 to join our mentorship programme. These industry leaders will act as the voice of the Caribbean and be influencial in helping us to promote the region. If you’re interested get in contact at
