DHTA said to be set to receive a small grant from the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA)

​The Dominica Hotel & Tourism Association (DHTA) says it is set to receive a small grant from the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA), through efforts of regional tourism associations for post Maria recovery activities. The Jamaica Hotel and Tourism Association and the Jamaica Tourist Board through their charity fund, and with assistance from supporting member hotels, donated to the CHTA to assist with the recovery of countries affected by recent hurricanes.
 
CHTA Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frank Comito, noting the difficulties and financial hardships faced by the NHTA’s stated that, “CHTA has been touched by the outpouring of support by the Jamaica Hotel and Tourism Association. The St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association, from a fundraising dinner with the Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) held last year, was also able to provide CHTA with additional funds that would go towards the support of islands affected by the 2017 hurricane season, including Dominica.
 
Executive Vice President of the DHTA, Kevin A. Francis, extended heartfelt thanks to the CHTA and the NHTA’s for their continued support and partnership. Francis went on to say: “with the added support of our Jamaican counterparts, we will continue to represent our members through these times. We are indeed stronger together.”
