Unlocking Pet-Friendly Travel for the Caribbean
Caribbean Week in New York is the Caribbean tourism industry's premier gathering, convening ministers, commissioners, tourism directors, and private-sector leaders to shape the future of regional travel. This year's programme covers tourism leadership, destination marketing, airlift expansion, sustainability, and next-generation innovation — the ideal stage for PadsPass to present its case for transforming how pets and their pet parents navigate international travel.
Brown will address how fragmented, paper-based pet travel documentation systems create friction for airlines, hotels, and travellers alike — and how PadsPass's digital platform resolves compliance challenges across the key jurisdictions where Caribbean tourism operates, including Bermuda, the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico, as well as major international gateways including London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol.
With 1,400+ pets already registered on the platform, approximately 1,000 app downloads, and 83 veterinary clinics actively using PadsPass CheckPoint, Brown will demonstrate proven traction at a moment of growing industry interest in pet-inclusive travel infrastructure.
