FAQ
What is ASTA Caribbean Showcase and where will it be taking place?
Think of a FAM + Conference combined.
ASTA Caribbean Showcase is a fusion of immersive in-person experience, educational training on destination knowledge, and your gateway to new connections.
This year, we are headed to Curaçao.
The Dutch Caribbean is located near Venezuela and features building styles you’d find in the Netherlands, painted in beautiful pastel shades. Its vibrant culture stems from many backgrounds including Afro-Caribbean, Dutch, French, Latin American, and Asian. Curaçao’s tropical Savannah climate features little rain and warm temperatures throughout the year. It’s a diver’s paradise with warm waters, mild currents, and amazing diving locations.
I'm an advisor and want to register. Is this still possible?
Unfortunately we are sold out! Due to the capacity restrictions at the resort, we had to cut off both registration and the waitlist. Please look for an email announcement from us in late August/Early September as we will be opening registration for 2025 in an entirely new, but just as beautiful location!
I'm a supplier interested in exhibiting or sponsoring. Can I register?
Our supplier registration is currently open. For questions, please contact ASTA's Senior Business Development Coordinator, Lewis Nobles at lnobles@asta.org.
To extend your stay, you will need to work directly with the resort by contacting their interline department at 1-800-SANDALS.
I already registered, but want to add a guest. Can I still do this?
Yes! You can add either a non-industry guest or another ASTA Travel Advisor to your registration by logging into the attendee service center and selecting "edit registration." There will be an additional fee to add a guest. Advisor rates beginning at $449, and non-industry rates beginning at $949.
Note: Your Advisor guest will have access to the full event, while non-industry guests can enjoy the all-inclusive amenities the resort has to offer, and join you for our evening events.
I regretfully need to cancel. How do I do this?
We are sorry you are no longer able to attend! Please send our Events team an email at meetings@asta.org, and we hope you consider attending the following year. Please take note of our cancellation policy below. All cancellation deadlines will honor the date the email was sent.
