About Caribbean Signature
Caribbean Signature is a consulting, communications and professional development group.
For over a decade, through our business publications and other projects, we have promoted investment opportunities in the region and travel to the Caribbean. We provide business information primarily to companies and entrepreneurs in Florida, New York and Toronto, and diaspora organisations and leaders. Information is also shared with government and private sector leaders in the Caribbean. We assist with international trade and investment projects and proposals, ensuring they are well-researched, feasible and financially sound.
Caribbean Signature also provides training to enhance business skills, with a focus on management, leadership, negotiation skills, international trade research, and business promotion. The group, which was launched in Toronto in 2000, was initially focused on designing and delivering training. In 2015, when business publications were added to our portfolio, we had been operating for 10 years as Carigold Signature. In 2025, we rebranded as Caribbean Signature.
We produce the annual “Caribbean Business & Travel” magazine and a biennial “Caribbean Tourism and Hospitality Investment Guide”. Caribbean Signature collaborates with Caribbean governments, business groups, investment and tourism agencies, and regional organisations. Our consultants and communications specialists, all Caribbean nationals, are based in Florida, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Toronto. They are trained in investment promotion, international trade, international relations, marketing, finance, project and hospitality management, and communications.
Our Vision
To continue to be a key source of in-depth information on investment opportunities in CARICOM member countries, Caribbean tourism and hospitality developments, a substantial contributor to job-creating project proposals, and to upgrade business skills in the region.
