Troubetzkoy steps up to lead Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association
The board of directors of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association has officially ratified Karolin Troubetzkoy to take office immediately as president of the association.
Her term had been expected to begin June 2016.
She will serve as CHTA president through June 2018.
Troubetzkoy was previously voted president elect in June 2015 but assumed the role of acting CHTA president in November 2015 when Emil Lee, then president of CHTA, stepped down to accept the position of minister of labour, health and social affairs for St. Maarten.
Past president Richard Doumeng, the current chairman of CHTA, will continue in this position through June 2016.

“In my role as President, I look forward to further expanding on our marketing, advocacy, sustainability, educational and culinary efforts.
“Going forward, we will seek even closer collaboration with public sector stakeholders.
“Our mutual aim must be to further elevate the quality and appeal of the Caribbean as the world’s most desired tourism destination.
“There is much to be done and I am thankful to have the support of past presidents, national hotel and tourism association executives, dedicated members and partners and, especially, the CHTA team under the stellar leadership of chief Frank Comito,” said Troubetzkoy.
Troubetzkoy has served as president of the Saint Lucia Hotel & Tourism Association since 2010 where she has been instrumental in the successful implementation of a hotel booking engine for the association as well as the launch of a Saint Lucia Tourism Enhancement Fund.
She oversaw the development of a broad social media platform for the SLHTA as well as the launch of several websites.
She has served as a director of the Saint Lucia Tourist Board for several years and has been an active member of the destination marketing committee for the past 20 years.
Troubetzkoy has successfully spearheaded the marketing and day-to-day operations of the award-winning Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain resorts for more than 30 years.
