The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) will host its 2026 Air Connectivity Summit in Bermuda on Tuesday, February 24, bringing together senior public- and private-sector stakeholders to examine the future of air travel in the region.
The one-day summit, themed “Integrating Aviation and Regional Tourism Development,” is part of CTO’s broader Reimagine Plan and follows consultations with the organization’s Ministerial Council, Board of Directors and Airlift Committee. Discussions will center on improving air access across the Caribbean, supporting sustainable route development, and better aligning aviation policy with long-term tourism growth. Participants are also expected to explore new partnerships and identify practical, region-wide solutions to shared airlift challenges.
The Air Connectivity Summit will take place alongside CTO’s Spring Business Meetings, scheduled for February 23 at The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club in Bermuda. Those meetings will convene CTO leadership, member countries, allied members and industry stakeholders for business sessions, bilateral engagements and strategic discussions, setting the stage for collaboration ahead of the summit.
Attendees are expected to include tourism ministers, directors of tourism, officials from ministries of transport and finance, airport executives, airline leaders and route planners, infrastructure developers, regulators, sustainability and innovation experts, regional and international trade associations, research firms, media, and local tourism stakeholders from Bermuda.
Program highlights will include a keynote address on the current state and future outlook of Caribbean aviation, the presentation of a CTO air connectivity study by ASM, panel discussions on international and intra-regional route development, a ministerial dialogue on Caribbean airlift strategy, and sessions examining the relationship between aviation infrastructure and tourism development across the region.
