A US$250,000 sustainability grant was awarded to The UWI to support the hosting of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC) from Airbnb, the online marketplace for short-term homestays.

The grant will be used to support the Building Climate Knowledge, Attitudes and Awareness Across the Caribbean (Project: C-KAP) led by the Centre, to help raise awareness among Caribbean Micro, Small and Medium Sized Tourism Entrepreneurs (MSMEs) about the importance of climate-responsible practices in their operations, as well as encourage them to take urgent action to combat climate change.
