The Caribbean ASEAN Bureau
The Caribbean Tourism, Trade and Investment Bureau in Southeast Asia, or the Caribbean ASEAN Bureau (CAB), was established to provide specific and high-level assistance to public and private stakeholders in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. The CAB is a service entity that aims to stimulate economic cooperation between the two regions acting as an independent trade support institution (TSI) and foreign trade representative (FTR).
The formation of the CAB as a capable managed service is expected to strengthen tourism, trade and investment interaction by working flawlessly with enterprises and governments. The Caribbean ASEAN Bureau aims to have official presence in Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam through the partnership support of The Jump Network.
The Caribbean offers untapped potential for global trade and provides a unique product offering found nowhere else in the world. Officially launched in October 2019, the Caribbean Tourism, Trade and Investment Bureau is a service that will improve the economic relations between regions.
