Rosa Harris

The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism (CIDOT) is proud to congratulate our Director of Tourism, Mrs. Rosa Harris, on being named Director of the Year by Caribbean Journal as part of their 2025 Caribbean Travel Awards. This prestigious accolade recognises Mrs. Harris’ exceptional leadership and her steadfast commitment to advancing the Cayman Islands as a premier luxury destination while preserving our rich cultural heritage and renowned Caymanian hospitality.

Serving as Director of Tourism for over a decade, Director Harris has played a pivotal role in shaping the Cayman Islands’ global tourism strategy. Under her leadership, the Cayman Islands achieved its best-ever year for stayover arrivals in 2019, a milestone that underscored her ability to innovate and elevate the destination’s appeal to travellers worldwide.

In addition to her work in the Cayman Islands, Mrs. Harris recently served as Chair of the Board of Directors for the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), a role in which she provided visionary leadership to the entire region. Balancing this dual responsibility as both Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands and Chair of the CTO Board of Directors, she championed sustainable growth and collaboration across the Caribbean.

This recognition by Caribbean Journal is a true testament to her dedication and exceptional achievements.

The entire CIDOT team extends heartfelt congratulations to Director Harris for this well-deserved honour and looks forward to her continued success in shaping the future of Cayman Islands tourism.
