CHTAEF invests all proceeds supporting scholars in accredited academic programs in the US, Europe, and the Caribbean to develop the next generation of Caribbean tourism success stories while creating programs for current industry staff and managers which energize and elevate their professional development and growth. Funds raised by the foundation helped train more than 750 hospitality staff in 2019 and have provided more than 80 scholarships in the past five years. The hospitality industry is critical for the Caribbean, drawing millions of visitors every year and creating more employment, advancement opportunities, and earnings than any other industry in the region. CHTAEF training programs and scholarships help to empower staff and provide opportunities for advancement for the hardworking staff upon whom the industry relies.

About Jade Mountain
Rising majestically above the 600-acre beachfront resort of Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain Resort on St. Lucia’s south-western Caribbean coastline is a cornucopia of organic architecture celebrating St. Lucia’s stunning scenic beauty. Expect grand sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area, and an extravagant private infinity pool glide into one another to form extraordinary platforms floating out into nature. With the fourth wall entirely absent, Jade Mountain’s sanctuaries are stage-like settings from which to embrace the full glory of St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site, and of course, the eternal Caribbean Sea.
