Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
"Tourism is a major contributor to the economic
development of the country and the tourism potential of
Trinidad and Tobago is outstanding. Trinidad and Tobago
has recently decided to diversify its economy through,
among other things, development of the tourism sector.
The concept of tourism is geared not only to the foreign
visitor but to the needs of the local population. There is
much to see and examine by drawing attention to the
promotion of cultural festivals, art forms, historical and
natural scenic sites. The Government of Trinidad and
Tobago proposes to promote the islands as ecotourism
centres based on the pristine conditions of their reefs,
forests, flora and fauna. Tourism in Tobago will also be
developed to take into account the socio-cultural and
environmental values of the country."

Web Site for Trinidad and Tobago. " Do you have
a sister or brother that’s really lively? That’s Trinidad!
When first-time visitors come to the Caribbean, they may
expect to find a laid-back paradise of pina coladas and
poolsides. Trinidad challenges the status quo; breaks the
mold. You can chart your own adventure with our help of
course, and discover the unexpected with a vast choice of
festivals, fun events and a host of other
adrenaline-generating activities.
Port of Spain, our bustling capital city, is filled with
an enchanting myriad of art galleries and restaurants. At
the National Museum you can delve into the culture of our
country and its diverse people.
If you prefer to be more laid back and take your time
discovering our treasures, we also have our share of quiet
quality. Once part of the South American mainland,
Trinidad, with its boot-like shape measuring 37 miles
(80km) by 50 miles (60 km), boasts an ecological and
geographical diversity unmatched in the region.
The gorgeous, sandy beaches along our North Coast provide
the perfect atmosphere for seclusion, rest and recreation.
Dominated by densely forested peaks, the northern interior
offers excellent hiking trails framed by canopies of lush,
indigenous rain forest, while the low, predominantly
agricultural plains of Central Trinidad strike a
fascinating contrast.
Our East Coast is home to protected wetlands and miles of
beach frontage lined by groves of coconut palms, known to
locals as the ‘Cocal’. The island’s ‘Industrial Capital’
is a hilly, friendly base from which to explore the
island’s modern oil towns, picturesque fishing villages
and calm, deserted beaches."
