Tobago’s representation at TIC is a collaborative effort between TTAL and the Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association (THTA), as the island’s stakeholders unite to promote the destination. Ms. Alicia Edwards, Executive Chairman of TTAL stated:

“The Agency’s presence at TIC 2023 was critical to us helping equip Tobago’s tourism stakeholders with the necessary tools, opportunities, and industry linkages to successfully navigate the future of travel and tourism. Collaboration continues to be one of the Agency’s core values that guide our strategic actions, and so we will continue to join hands with both the private and public sectors to establish a cohesive destination identity, and position our unspoilt, untouched, undiscovered island for sustainable success."

Visitors to the island’s “Tobago Beyond” branded exhibition booth had the opportunity to learn more about the destination attractions and activities as well as all they need to know about booking a trip to Tobago – from accommodation to tours – from representatives of the Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association.
