'Of course, we gave the website a facelift as well, incorporating the look and feel of the Caribbean into one of the most valuable resources at our members' disposal,' added De Marchena Kaluche. Alec Sanguinetti, CHTA Director General and CEO, echoed De Marchena Kaluche's comments, urging members to 'take a few seconds to visit the new site and check out the capabilities in order to begin taking full advantage of CHTA member benefits today.'
