The Direct Support Grants Programme (DSGP) has been developed in response to the immediate need for firms to retool and mitigate the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Caribbean Export has allocated funds for CARIFORUM firms, to be dispersed as grant funding. This funding is provided by the European Union under the 11th EDF Regional Private Sector Development Programme.
CARIFORUM firms can apply for a non- reimbursable grant valued between €5,000 – €15,000 to implement approved projects.
CHTA has partnered with Trip Mate to create the “Member Exclusive Travel Protection Plan” as a timely benefit for accommodation providers that can help offer peace of mind to prospective travelers by protecting their travel investment.

- NHTA: Compliance Destination: 12% / Non-Compliance Destination: 9%
- Hotel: CHTA Member: 12% / Only NHTA Member: 4%
Important to note, the plan is exclusively available to members of CHTA and Local Hotel Association (NHTA).
*Limited time offer through August 31, 2020 – local members that are not CHTA members can apply to the plan.
