  • Read More of the CTO History
    THE YEAR WAS 1951: The CTO Story. By Richard S. Kahn and Johnson JohnRose The year was 1951. Tourism was already being seen as having a major role to play in the economic development of Caribbean countries, but there was no organised body to focus the visitor’s thinking on the entire region as a single destination. However, that was about to change as a group of concerned individuals gathered in Antigua to formulate a marketing plan and create a budget to promote the Caribbean as a region. They established the Caribbean Travel Association (CTA) with offices in St. John’s, Antigua. CTA was given an annual budget of US$200, 000 and a mandate to promote the Caribbean as the world’s leading warm weather destination. CTA even then was unique, comprising member states from the four language groups – Dutch, English, French and Spanish – and having a public and private sector directorate. Now, 50 years later, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) stands as the successor and benefactor of those early years and the Caribbean proudly proclaims success as truly the world’s leading warm weather destination. The seeds for CTO’s creation were really sown in the 1940s. This was war time and the strategic importance of the Caribbean Sea in World War II was immense. Both the British and American governments had very important military bases scattered throughout various islands. On August 14, 1941 an historic meeting took place in the mid-Atlantic, on American and British warships, between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

    Lieutenant Colonel Olga E. Custodio By: Tony “The Marine” Santiago Then Lieutenant Custodio climbing down from the cockpit of a T-38 Lieutenant Colonel Olga E. Custodio (born 1954) was an officer in the United States Air Force who made history when she became the first female Hispanic U.S. military pilot. She holds the distinction of being first Latina to complete U.S. Air Force military pilot training. After retiring from the military she became the first Latina to become a commercial airline captain. Early years Custodio was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her father was a Sergeant in the United States Army and was often stationed in various countries where the United States has its military installations. Custodio and the rest of the family would accompany him in his overseas assignments. Custodio began her primary education in Taiwan. She also attended schools in New Jersey, Iran and Paraguay. The family returned to Puerto Rico where they settled down when she was 15 years old. She graduated high school when she was 16 and applied to continue her education at the University of Puerto Rico where she was accepted. Both her father and all the traveling that she did at a young age served as inspirational factors when it came to deciding what she would like to do in the future. While in college she attempted to join the university’s ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program, however she was told that only men were allowed. Military career Custodio earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Puerto Rico and worked for various industries before landing a job in the accounting department of Prinair (Puerto Rico International Airlines).
