TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
TOURISM CORNER TDC Conducts Local Tourism Awareness Survey The Tourism Development Company Limited (TDC), as part of its mandate to develop and promote tourism in Trinidad and Tobago, recently concluded a survey to measure the awareness of Tourism among locals in our twin island Republic from Wednesday 24th August to Sunday 4th September, 2016. The latest survey is a critical tool for Trinidad and Tobago as it allows the TDC to make evidence-based decisions to better plan tourism development initiatives. The survey also shows how valuable tourism is to our economy, our country and most importantly our citizens. Local tourism and the active participation of locals in the development of the sector continue to make significant contributions to Trinidad and Tobago’s tourism industry, injecting an estimated TT$0.86 billion into the economy in 2013. The team executed the survey through Trinidad and Tobago’s destination Facebook Page: Islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and via face-to-face interviews with randomly selected persons at heavily trafficked locations including Scarborough, Tobago; City Gate, Port of Spain; High Street, San Fernando; Chaguanas Main Road; and shopping centres including, Trincity Mall, Gulf City Mall and the City of Grand Bazaar. The results of this study will aid in mobilizing support for the tourism sector, advocate the need for tourism education and guide the continued development of the industry in Trinidad and Tobago. Following completion of the data analysis, the report will be made available on the TDC’s corporate website www.tdc.co.tt. For further information on matters related to research and planning at the TDC, please call 675-7034 ext. 127 or email info@tdc.co.tt.
