CULTURE
Tobago offers the chance to present clients with something they have never encountered before. Where in the world can travellers try their luck at both goat racing and crab racing? Or experience “liming” – ie, the art of doing nothing, by kicking back with Trinbagonian locals to share food and stories. Or even visit a Sunday School that has nothing to do with the last day of the week, nor the bible, but everything to do with steel pan music – a nightly jamming session that culminates in a beach party? Tobago’s colourful past has greatly shaped its
present. And each year, the island’s past is celebrated at the annual Heritage Festival, during which villages villages re-enact the stories of old and celebrate their traditions. The island changed hands a whopping 31 times between 1626 and 1803. As a result, it has a totally unique infusion of culture. During the 17th century, Tobago’s sugar and cocoa production accelerated its global fame. A visit to the working 19-hectare Tobago Cocoa Estate offers the chance to learn about the nation’s fascinating cocoa history, and to sample the estate’s chocolate bars, along with a dash of fiery local rum. Travellers looking for mega-resorts should look
elsewhere. Unlike other Caribbean destinations, Tobago’s appeal lies in its determination to keep things
real, and to keep the stories of its people alive. BEACHES
Clients will leap at the chance to swap the rat race for sun-drenched barefoot beach walks along Tobago’s unspoilt coastline. The 300 sq. km island is ringed by icing sugar sand beaches that melt into warm aquamarine waters – with little more than spindly palm trees and friendly locals for holidaymakers to share them with. Pigeon Point, for example, is widely considered the island’s most beautiful beach celebrated across the world for its warm shallow waters, reviving breeze and iconic thatch-roofed jetty that has become an emblem of Tobago. The dreamy beach is flanked by nothing but a 50-hectare nature reserve.
