History

Hilton Barbados – There could be worse places to form an alliance!

In September 2018, the Presidents and Chair of the ASTW, SATW and BGTW met in Barbados and agreed to “cooperate in a number of ways, beginning with, but not limited to…”

 

  • Establishing a core representation structure of three people (one per organisation) to create and develop our future cooperation.
  • Comparing the structures and operations of our organisations to look for opportunities for harmonisation.
  • Operating a common communication platform for our members.
  • Developing opportunities for inter-organisational socialising.
  • Providing judges for each others awards.
  • Sharing Professional Skills Development events and opportunities.
  • Exploring options for joint publications.
  • Gathering and expressing our members views on travel industry and media matters.
