T&T looks to tourism recovery – CARICOM Business
Strategic marketing, new airlift, building synergistic stakeholder relationships and the improvement of product and service quality.
According to Tourism Trinidad CEO Kurtis Rudd those are the principles which will inform T&T’s tourism sector recovery. Visitor arrivals have been trending down in T&T over the past 5 years, with 389,404 arrivals in 2016, 375,202 in 2017, 356,044 in 2018.
However with the onset of COVID-19 along with the closure of T&T’s air and sea ports to foreigners, arrivals dropped to 88,036 in 2020 and in 2021, 40,618. International tourist travel resumed in December 2021 but domestic travel with both air and sea for 2020 and 2021 amounted to 41,673 arrivals.
