This week is #Caribbean week on #lushlife . After my weekly tweet chat on Friday called #vastchat, I want to help spread the advice I received from guest hosts @chtafeeds and @tourismcares. @chtafeeds Is the voice of the #Caribbeanhoteltourism industry. The CHTA, founded in 1962, represents the entire spectrum of the hospitality industry's private sector across the Caribbean region) . @tourismcares is @chtafeeds ' chosen #hurricanerelief charity/ fund. As noted during the chat, the Caribbean Recovery Fund was established upon Irma, and also sadly under Maria, to help destination workers and recovery. And Tourism Cares sees giving with tourism, for tourism as a complement to other relief giving, especially for its economic engine in Caribbean. Also, funds will be allocated in partnership with @CHTAfeeds and will be focused based on community need and tourism value/impact. These partners have advised : 1.) 70% of the Caribbean was unaffected by the storms. 2.) Please donate here to assist affected islands. http://www.tourismcares.org/caribbean 3.) Indeed, the industry can definitely shout "GO to the Caribbean" and "help just with your vacation." Go now. Go again! As CHTA notes, One of the best ways to support the #Caribbean is to visit us! #VisittheCaribbean #OneCaribbeanFamily So - donate! And Contact me to help you get away.
