A MESSAGE From THE CARIBBEAN AIRLINES TEAM At <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines, it is our privilege to serve you. We are committed to providing safe, reliable, value-added service throughout our nineteen-destination network. As part of our mission to enhance your travel experience, our city ticket office located on the mezzanine floor of the Parkade Building, at the corner of Queen and Richmond Streets in Port of Spain, Trinidad, has been outfitted with state of the art ticketing kiosks. Now you have the choice of conducting business without having to join the traditional line. You may use the kiosks to conduct all transactions that are currently available on the <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines website. It is our vision to eventually place kiosks in hotel lobbies, malls, and other high-traffic areas for your easy access and convenience. Be assured that the kiosks are secure, as special software is used which limits browsing to the <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines website. Earlier this year, RBC and <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines signed an agreement to renew our ten-year partnership. This milestone in our successful relationship represents another example of our commitment to our customers and to the communities we serve. As companies with a distinguished legacy in the <strong>Caribbean</strong> and with a strong presence and representation globally, RBC and <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines appreciate the importance of partnership and of continuously innovating to deliver value. The signing of the agreement paved the way for the launch of the new RBC <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines Visa Platinum credit card. The new card gives you greater choice and opens a world of opportunity with additional benefits like travel insurance and concierge services to make your travel experience more convenient and enjoyable. Our business is rapidly evolving, with technology and the changing needs of our customers driving the pace of that evolution. It calls for us to be a different type of airline: to be agile, bold, courageous, and flexible, to forge strong and lasting partnerships, and to be innovative. As a business, we keep asking ourselves what’s next: what do our customers want and what do they need. And we are constantly challenging ourselves to deliver the right products and services and a differentiated experience that gives you the convenience, the choice, and the freedom that you want. As we continue to celebrate our tenth anniversary this year, there will be more exciting developments. Look out for special promotions in the months of <strong>September</strong> and <strong>October</strong>, which will enable you to travel to destinations throughout our network. Some popular upcoming events include the annual Labour Day Parade in New York, which takes place on 4 <strong>September</strong>. <strong>Caribbean</strong> culture and history are celebrated in the weeks leading up to this lively street party along Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. From 9 to 13 <strong>October</strong>, Grenada will be abuzz with activity when the <strong>Caribbean</strong> Tourism Organistion hosts the annual State of the Industry Conference (SOTIC). At this event, <strong>Caribbean</strong> tourism policy-makers, public and private sector partners, and travel professionals gather to discuss issues, and identify solutions and ways to keep the region competitive, which benefits our tourism industry.
