The Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) was formed by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) to encourage Association Executives of National Hotel and Tourism Associations to network and exchange information.
CSHAE is an independent organization for the professional development of national hotel association executives from the 33 CHTA member national hotel associations from around the region. The diversity that characterizes the federation of CHTA throughout the Caribbean offers its members the opportunity to benefit from the strengths of its colleagues from other islands and other national hotel associations.
The national hotel associations are CHTA’s direct link to the hotels and the industry in the Caribbean Island destinations. National Hotel Association Executives interface with the CHTA staff to exchange information, opinions and ideas on CHTA programs, services, benefits, industry trends, and professional development.
