What TTC Travel Trade Caribbean does

TTC Travel Trade Caribbean S.r.l is a privately held Italian limited company (S.r.l), registered in Torino, Italy, that operates a digital B2B media platform focused on Caribbean tourism. The company publishes TTC News, a free weekly digital newsletter, alongside the trilingual (Spanish, English, Italian) website traveltradecaribbean.es, distributing curated coverage of Caribbean tourism news, events, transportation, gastronomy, business, and Cuba-specific ("Habana Nuestra") developments. Content is also republished via digital editions on ISSUU and amplified through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X.

The company's product surface is media-only — there is no app, no public API, no SaaS or data product, and no disclosed subscription fee. Underlying technology is a standard website CMS (WordPress-class) plus email newsletter distribution and ISSUU-based digital flipbook editions, with no proprietary technology stack disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are advertising- and sponsorship-led. The publicly visible partner/inventory roster is dominated by Cuban state-linked tourism entities (Havanatur, Gaviota Hotels, Gran Caribe, Cubanacán, Islazul, ROC Hotels Cuba) with select international brands (Iberostar, Barceló, Air Europa, SMC Salud) and a Disset Consultants association with Cuba's Ministry of Tourism "Cuba Única" campaign. The primary customer segments are tourism industry professionals (tour operators, travel agencies, DMCs) and Caribbean tourism suppliers (hotels, airlines, cruise operators) seeking promotional reach into the travel trade. No revenue, headcount growth, or pricing figures are disclosed; the company employs 11–50 people and operates without disclosed external investors.
