The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has added a new event to the Caribbean Week in New York (CWNY) 2025 schedule: the Caribbean Cultural Showcase. Celebrating Caribbean music, dance, cuisine and artistry, the event will take place at The Westin New York at Times Square on Thursday, June 5, from 4–8 pm.
The Caribbean Cultural Showcase will provide attendees with an immersive experience of authentic Caribbean culture, complete with performances, culinary delights and displays of island artistry. Visitors will have the opportunity to win trips to various Caribbean destinations and access exclusive travel deals available only during the event.
CWNY 2025’s theme, “Caribbean Resilience: Crafting Tomorrow’s Tourism,” aligns with the Caribbean Cultural Showcase, as the aim is to highlight the region’s cultural heritage as a cornerstone of sustainable tourism development. The event provides a platform for the Caribbean diaspora communities in New York to reconnect with their roots while introducing potential visitors to the rich experiences awaiting them across the region.
The CTO, headquartered in Barbados, is the Caribbean’s tourism development agency, comprising membership of the region’s finest countries and territories, including Dutch-, English- and French-speaking, as well as a range of private sector allied members. The CTO’s vision is to position the Caribbean as the most desirable, year-round, warm-weather destination, and its purpose is “Leading Sustainable Tourism - One Sea, One Voice, One Caribbean.” Among the benefits to its members, the organization provides specialized support and technical assistance in sustainable tourism development, marketing, communications, advocacy, human resource development, event planning & execution, and research & information technology.
