Royal Caribbean International president and CEO Michael Bayley will headline a major tourism forum in Antigua next month.

Bayley will be taking part in a special exchange called the Caribbean Tourism Sector Outlook Forum held at the Royalton Antigua resort.

The Oct. 4 event is being organized by the Caribbean Tourism Organization as a “platform for discussion between member governments and leaders from the tourism industry that generate business to the region,” according to a description from the CTO.

The forum is open only to CTO government members, including ministers, commissioners of tourism, tourism directors and CEOs of destination management organizations, among others.

The event will also include a Caribbean Tourism Youth Congress.

The event is effectively replacing the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s State of the Industry Conference, which was postponed this year as it is being reimagined.
