The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association has chosen its next president.

The CHTA has selected Karolin Troubetzkoy as president-elect for the 2016-2018 term.

Troubetzkoy is the executive director for marketing and operations for St Lucia’s famous Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain resorts.

She is currently the First Vice President of the CHTA and president of the St Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association.

“I am honored to be selected as president-elect of CHTA and look forward to working with current president Emil Lee,” she said in a statement. “I will continue to work with the CHTA leadership on the evolution of our Association and to strengthen the National Hotel and Tourism Associations across the region.”

Troubetzkoy will work with Lee before taking office in June 2016.

“The CHTA membership made a great choice in selecting Karolin Troubetzkoy as the president-elect,” Lee said. “She has been a leader within the St. Lucia hotel and tourism industry and has shared her expertise in marketing and hotel operations as part of CHTA’s volunteer leadership which have helped move the association forward.”
