Uh Oh...with less than two weeks before it's biggest event, Carnival, Trinidad and Tobago has received a potential blow with negative advisories for tourists travelling to the islands.
A Trinidad Guardian story said T&T received negative advisories from the UK, Australia, the US and Canada. The advisories warned of an increase in serious crimes such as rapes and murders, and robbers following unsuspecting victims from the airport to their places of residence.
With over 80 murders for the year so far, T&T is battling a serious crime problem and this will no doubt continue to impact on its tourism product. Tobago, which saw a yet to be solved murder of a Swedish couple last year as well as other crimes against tourists, is said to be suffering as a result with only 30% occupancy levels in what is supposed to be a peak period.
