Offices of the T&T tourist board,
TIDCO
(Tourism and Industrial Development Company of Trinidad and Tobago,
), located in the US, Canada, UK and T&T, send out information packs on request, which include useful accommodation and calendar of events booklets, as well as glossy promotional pamphlets and sometimes a road map. On the islands their information booths at Crown Point and Piarco airports have friendly, helpful staff. Tobago's main tourist advice centre is at the
Tobago House of Assembly
(THA) in Scarborough (tel 868/639-2125 or 4636,
tourbago@tstt.net.tt
).
With some of the best writers of the Caribbean, the local media are an excellent introduction to T&T. The main
newspapers
include the broadsheet,
Trinidad Guardian
(
), the tabloid
Express
(
) and
Newsday
(
);
Tobago
boasts only one paper,
Tobago News
, published on Fridays. Though the islands have two
terrestrial TV
stations - the main local news slot is at 7pm on TV6 -
cable TV
is predominant.
Radio
is hugely popular, with the best stations for conemporary local music being
Yes FM, POWER 102, The Vibe
(Comedy Tempo) and
WE FM
. Other useful information
