The Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) will host the 2026 CTO Air Connectivity Summit in Bermuda on 24 February, 2026, gathering senior public and private sector stakeholders to discuss the future of Caribbean air connectivity. The Bermuda conference is important for destinations across the Caribbean as they look to expand access while balancing issues such as cost and sustainability.
Air connectivity is a central issue for the region’s tourism sector and airlift is more than a transportation issue but shapes how competitive individual markets are.
The one-day summit will be held under the theme ‘Integrating Aviation and Regional Tourism Development’ and aligns with CTO’s broader Reimagine Plan. It also follows extensive consultations with the organisation’s Ministerial Council, Board of Directors and Airlift Committee. Participants are expected to explore new partnerships and identify practical solutions to shared regional airlift challenges.
The Air Connectivity Summit will coincide with CTO’s Spring Business Meetings, scheduled for 23 February at The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club in Bermuda.
Summit participants will include tourism ministers, directors of tourism, officials from ministries of transport and finance, airport executives, senior airline leaders and route planners, infrastructure developers, regulators, sustainability and innovation experts, regional and international trade associations, research firms, media, and local tourism stakeholders.
The Summit will include a presentation of a CTO air connectivity study by ASM and panel discussions on international and intra-regional route development.
