 Trinidad
are only just off the coast of Venezuela, yet they share
little of the culture of South America. Trinidad’s
carnival is world famous and attracts thousands of
visitors, but its wealth comes from oil refining rather
than tourism and its beaches remain empty and unspoiled.
Beach tourism has been developed on the smaller, sister
islands of Tobago, where hotels are spreading around the
coastline, but there are still glorious bays and coves and
resorts are low key. Both islands have a large area of
protected rainforest, home to a huge array of flora and
fauna, and bird watching is a major attraction. |
