Truly the Caribbean is a place like none other it consists of several islands in close proximity of each other and intertwined in race, culture, language, religion and history as a broad crescent extending from the Bahamas and Cuba and southwards to Trinidad. They are broken down to Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.  

The History of the Caribbean goes back even further, with each island having a unique history that would lead to present day or modern civilizations. Trinidad and Tobago have developed over the years and could be known as a paradise full of culture mixed races and the America of the Caribbean.

Tourism is where it is at in Trinidad and Tobago, fun sea and sand.

Trinbagonians' are also proud of our hospitality and the unique mixture of different cultures which have resulted from our animated history. After its discovery by Columbus in 1498, the islands were a sought after bone of contention between the colonial powers of Spain, France, Great Britain and the Netherlands. Columbus gave Trinidad its name, which means 'Trinity' in Spanish. In 1889, the islands of Trinidad and Tobago were consolidated under British control. 

American Indian, African, East Indian, European, Middle Eastern and Chinese origin, Trinidad and Tobago’s rich heritage is reflected in our vibrant culture through our food, festivals, customs and general way of life. Our most famous festival is the annual Carnival, the second largest Carnival in the World. 

Tourism is now one of the most critical industry in the island to boost the economy and to create an island that tourists from all over the world could have a destination that truly unique and that can create a home away from home experience.

This course was a bit challenging for me as the readings and the course work was difficult to grasps and the amount of information sometimes made it quite hard to understand. It however, open my eyes to things and information that I haven’t heard or read before, and that was quite interesting. I must say the Caribbean is a unique one and a place of different heritage yet one people with different cultures, race, opinions, and music that create such a unique and fabulous Caribbean.
