Trinidad And Tobago Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012
Kindle version of our 70 page illustrated travel guide will take you to Trinidad and Tobago, a nation of two Caribbean islands just off the northeastern coast of Venezuela. The country is the most industrialised and one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean.

The islands are replete with natural unspoiled beauty not found in most other Caribbean countries. Trinidad and Tobago has a cosmopolitan society inhabited by many different peoples and cultures who live together in relative peace and harmony.

The two islands have distinct personalities. Trinidad is the larger of the two, and is the location of most of the country's cities and activity. It is also the country's industrial centre, noted for petroleum and natural gas production, which make Trinidad and Tobago one of the most prosperous countries in the Caribbean.

Tobago is known for tourism, which is its main industry and is a popular tourist destination. Both islands have a share of natural beauty.

The annual festival of Carnival is one of the most famous attractions in Trinidad and Tobago. Every year just before Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent, thousands of costumed revelers parade on the streets in an annual street party dubbed "The Greatest Show On Earth.”

Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand.

Trinidad & Tobago - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture The twin Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago could hardly be more different. Trinidad is vibrant, cosmopolitan, culturally diverse, and multiethnic, with a population descended from East Indian, African, Spanish, French, Dutch, American, Chinese, Syrian, and English forebears. This potent mix finds full expression in unbridled revelry each February with the celebration of Carnival—a dazzling, open-to-all-comers, mass participation street extravaganza of steel bands, calypso, dance, and the magnificent costumed bands “playing mas” (short for masquerade). Tobago, by contrast, is much quieter, predominantly rural, and a tranquil tropical idyll. 
Both islands have a history of slavery and indentured labor that, even today, engenders a determination in the people to live life as they choose rather than to order. “Trinis” are by nature friendly, outgoing, and hospitable. They are slow to anger and quick to walk away from confrontation. They have an infectious joie de vivre and a laid-back attitude to time—which foreigners can sometimes find frustrating.
 
Culture Smart! Trinidad and Tobago explores the codes and paradoxes of Trinbagonian life, describing the many and varied traditions, customs, and cultures of its diverse society. It outlines the contrasting histories of the two islands, and opens a window into people’s private lives, showing how they interact socially, and their attitudes to people who are “from foreign.” It offers practical advice from business tips to how to play mas at Carnival. It aims to make that first trip to the two islands as rewarding as possible by taking you beyond the stereotypes to the real people

The Yachtsman's Guide to Trinidad with Directory Based on its history, Trinidad is the only island in the Lesser Antilles that can be considered "out of the hurricane zone." Because so many yachtsmen store boats in Trinidad for hurricane season, The Yachtsman’s Guide to Trinidad, Edition 2.0, addresses the facilities and scope of services that are available to cruising boats in Chaguaramas. In addition to entry requirements, there is also a discussion on the best approaches to Trinidad as well as security issues in the country. While Trinidad is not normally considered a cruising destination by yachtsmen, the author covers what he calls "inland cruising" to provide opportunities to see and experience Trinidadian culture and see the sights that the country has to offer. There is also a section dedicated to a statistical review of tropical storms and hurricanes in the southern Caribbean. This latest edition also includes a Vendors and Products Directory to further focus what services are available.
