THE CARIBBEAN TOURISM HUMAN RESOURCE COUNCIL (CTHRC)
The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) spearheaded the setting up of the Caribbean
Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) in 1998 and has undertaken to incorporate
the work of this Council into its Human Resource Department. The CTHRC is the
regional authority, with the political mandate to set standards for tourism education and
training, agree on the programmes and provide the institutional accreditation and
programme validation for extra-regional institutions and programmes. It has the
authority to direct the course of tourism education and training in the region.

The Council which acts as an umbrella agency for tourism human resource development
in the Caribbean, will serve to develop and upgrade its tourism human resources at all
levels of the education system, thus ensuring a highly competent tourism workforce,
aimed at enhancing the region’s overall competitiveness towards the achievement of
sustainable tourism development.

The overall goal of the Caribbean Tourism Human Resource Council is to “develop and
promote a systematic and coordinated approach to human resources planning, research,
education and training in Caribbean tourism to meet the demands of a globally
competitive tourism environment”.

The Caribbean Tourism Learning System (CTLS)
The CTLS is one that facilitates a strategic and coordinated tourism education and
training strategy for the Caribbean. The CTLS aims to raise the level of professionalism
of tourism workers to meet international standards and global competitiveness.

The key elements of the Caribbean Tourism Learning System are:

•      Unified core curriculum for different levels of certification at the tertiary level of
       education
•      Use of occupational standards linked to the core curriculum
•      Tourism modules for primary and secondary schools
•      Public awareness and career awareness at the secondary school level
•      Exchange programmes for students, industry employees and tourism educators
       under the Tourism Internship Exchange System (TIES) programme
•      Student and industry employee mobility throughout the region
•      Self-regulatory quality assurance systems for public and private sector tourism
       education and training service providers
•      Programme articulation to facilitate transfer of credits between institutions
