The Caribbean Tourism Organization has confirmed on Saint Lucia hotelier Karolin Troubetzkoy the Secretary General’s Distinguished Service Award.


This took place during the just concluded Caribbean Week, held in the United States.


The award recognizes women leaders in Caribbean tourism with more than 20 years of dedicated service, significant contributions to the development of regional tourism, and inspirational mentorship to other women in the industry.


“To receive this distinction is truly meaningful to me” Karolin Troubetzkoy posted on her LinkedIn account. 


“For over 40 years, I have been privileged to call the Caribbean home  a privilege I never take for granted. After my husband’s passing last November, I took stock and reflected on my personal journey, and recognized that contributing through my volunteer leadership roles in tourism over these 40 years, and increasingly in conservation and the protection of our precious Caribbean biodiversity with the @sluncf and the @caribbiofund will always be an important part of who I am”.


Troubetzkoy concluded that “As a proud Caribbean citizen, I am grateful to continue to serve and contribute to the Caribbean’s development, prosperity, and environmental stewardship and hopefully able to mentor and inspire others along the way”.
