STC 2024: Tobago — oil spill recovery, open for business, and people come first.
Tashia Burris, Secretary of Tourism for Tobago, brings one of the most candid and wide-ranging conversations from the Caribbean Tourism Organization's Sustainable Tourism Conference 2024 in Grenada.
She addresses Tobago's oil spill recovery directly — cleanup crews working daily, a complex salvage operation underway, and a clear message to the marketplace: Tobago is open. Beaches on the southwest and north, the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere, Heritage Festival in July, and Tobago Carnival in October.
Beyond the recovery update, Burris delivers a compelling argument for the Caribbean to remain unified in purpose post-COVID — and shares her biggest conference takeaway: out of all the five P's of tourism, people is the most important. Tobago's answer is a people-inclusive model that redefines what all-inclusive really means.
