In a compelling letter to the editor, Gordon Laughlin outlines a transformative vision for Trinidad and Tobago (TT), emphasizing the nation’s rich cultural heritage, natural wonders, and untapped tourism potential. The author highlights the importance of attracting world-class hotel chains like Sandals, which recognize TT’s unique appeal—from its vibrant Carnival, pan, and calypso traditions to its pristine beaches, waterfalls, and world-renowned fishing spots. With Tobago’s recent airport upgrades, Laughlin sees a golden opportunity to develop twin destinations such as Nylon Pool and No Man’s Land, offering tourists diverse experiences in a single trip, thereby encouraging longer stays and higher revenue. Tobago’s charm, rooted in its quaint villages, vibrant culture, and natural attractions, positions it as a global competitor. However, the push for Tobago’s full self-governance must be carefully balanced with national unity to safeguard economic stability, currency, and development plans. Strategic tourism development, including initiatives like tours to Argyle Waterfalls, salt ponds, and community-based fishing experiences, can maximize foreign exchange earnings, create jobs, and support local communities. Laughlin calls for strong leadership, urging patriots to make tough decisions in the nation’s best interest, fostering equitable development and preserving TT’s cultural legacy for future generations.
