Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF) 2025
Bridgetown, Barbados

CHIEF, hosted by the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), is the premier event for Caribbean hospitality and tourism professionals. This dynamic forum features expert-led sessions, the Exchange Hub with allied member displays, and the prestigious CHIEF Awards.
CHIEF, CHTA's premier educational and networking forum, will once again spotlight innovation, leadership, and practical strategies to address the tourism sector's most pressing challenges. This year's theme, "Innovating Caribbean Tourism for a Disrupted World: Adapting with Purpose, Leading with People, Planning for Permanence," sets the tone for a robust lineup of immersive workshops and skills-building sessions led by a soon-to-be-announced roster of thought leaders.
As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen regional supply chains and drive innovation, this year's CHIEF will additionally include a Linkages Showcase. This dynamic marketplace will connect local and regional vendors with hotels, resorts, and other tourism-related businesses, encouraging more Caribbean sourcing and collaboration. Building upon its recent partnership with the Global Alliance for Innovation in Tourism (GAIN), this year's event will also feature a broader range of technology providers and hospitality tech efforts, offering attendees access to the tools and insights shaping the future of Caribbean tourism.
