I used google maps to locate your adventure. Got interested right away when I saw no road off Shirvan Road that led to Rocky Point. Thanks for the history lesson. I now want to visit next year. I assume you make arrangements with museums and other visitor destination sites in Trinidad/Tobago to link your site. Make that offer to them
You really threw me for a loop with your intro that was not your voice...so I had to fast forward to see what to expect. Now that I see the images but dont hear your voice...will check out another time
Periodically I like to experiment with different approaches to making my videos. I only used the different voice for the first 30 seconds of the video and then I narrated the rest of the video, I would appreciate if you could find the time to look at the whole video and tell me what you think.
Are we going to destroy all our envoronmental sensitive areas and do we really have complete tourism plan. First it was plan for Sandals which would have been an environmental disaster, next was Kiligyn bay area now this. The question is what are the benefits for Tobago ,what are the linkages
I agree that the Kiligyn bay area would not be a good area for a hotel as it would require filling in the swamp. For Rocky Point I do not believe that the land on the top with the high grass is ecologically sensitive rather it is the beach that is a nesting site for turtles. Having a hotel is not the end of the nesting turtles. As I stated in the video the village of Grande Rivier has shown how it can be done as there are 3 hotels that directly front the beach and it has not reduced the turtle nesting. There are strategies that are employed and these can be used at Rocky Point. While tourism has a high import content usually vegetable farmers, fishermen, egg, chicken and pig farmers benefit from selling to the hotels. In addition taxi drivers and tour guides get customers from the hotels, not forgetting the locals who are employed directly in the hotels.
That’s a bit confusing that ur for development preserving the natural habitat but yet against development the 2 can coexist but we must have the development but as u said the right way..Tobago has to become economically independent
I recognize that we cannot have the entire country just being forests and open plains. For economic development to take place, even if just to construct houses for the population, we have to cut some of the forest and use some of the plains. I want development that helps to diversify the economy but at the same time I want us to retain some of our natural ecosystem. So for me it is a question of finding the right balance.
