The Caribbean Basin Water Management Programme Incorporated (CBWMP Inc), in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership-Caribbean Chapter and the Saint Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association (SLHTA), organized a one-day seminar on Climate Change and Water Use Efficiency in the Tourist Industry. The Seminar was held at the Conference Room of the Palm Haven Hotel on 25th February 2009.
The workshop, which was co-sponsored and coordinated by the CBWMP, addressed the impact of Climate Change on the Tourist Industry and the need for the effective water use efficiency measures. It was a follow-up to a regional workshop on the same topic held in December 2008, in Barbados. One of the main reference documents used for the workshop was a manual on produced on the seminar’s main topic by Dr. Adrian Cashman of CERMES.
There was a brief opening ceremony chaired by Ms Angela Alphonse, Project Manager of the SLHTA and Mr. McHale Andrew, Executive Vice President of the SLHTA, who delivered the welcome remarks.
