Tourism Trinidad con­tin­ues to sup­port the de­vel­op­ment of Des­ti­na­tion Trinidad as the pre­mier des­ti­na­tion for Sport Tourism in the re­gion.

Dur­ing the up­com­ing Com­mon­wealth Youth Games, the com­pa­ny will be work­ing close­ly with key stake­hold­ers to un­der­take ac­tiv­i­ties that will el­e­vate the des­ti­na­tion’s brand and lead to an en­hanced and pos­i­tive vis­i­tor ex­pe­ri­ence dur­ing the up­com­ing sev­enth edi­tion of the youth games, which will be held in T&T be­tween Au­gust 4 and 11, 2023.

In a state­ment, Tourism Trinidad said the Com­mon­wealth Games Fed­er­a­tion (CGF) aims to cre­ate sus­tain­able and pros­per­ous com­mu­ni­ties across the Com­mon­wealth through sport, and Tourism Trinidad is de­ter­mined to es­tab­lish this coun­try as a vi­able sports-tourism des­ti­na­tion.

As such, the or­gan­i­sa­tion has planned a range of ac­tiv­i­ties that will provide­u­nique tourism ex­pe­ri­ences for the ath­letes, sport­ing teams and spec­ta­tors.

“Both ath­letes and vis­i­tors will be im­mersed in the vi­brant and wel­com­ing at­mos­phere of Trinidad from the mo­ment they ar­rive, with air­port wel­come en­ter­tain­ment, en­sur­ing a warm and en­thu­si­as­tic re­cep­tion for all par­tic­i­pants.

“...the open­ing cer­e­mo­ny of the games will serve as a grand show­case of des­ti­na­tion brand­ing, fur­ther re­in­forc­ing Trinidad’s iden­ti­ty as a pre­mier tourist des­ti­na­tion.. This cer­e­mo­ny will be a cap­ti­vat­ing dis­play of the coun­try’s cul­ture, her­itage and vi­brant spir­it,” Tourism Trinidad added.

To pro­vide vis­i­tors with valu­able in­for­ma­tion and as­sis­tance, tourism in­for­ma­tion booths will be set up at var­i­ous sport­ing fa­cil­i­ties, in­clud­ing the Na­tion­al Aquat­ic Cen­tre, Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um and Na­tion­al Cy­cling Cen­tre. These booths will serve as hubs of knowl­edge about this coun­try’s des­ti­na­tion, of­fer­ing vis­i­tors an op­por­tu­ni­ty to dis­cov­er the rich­ness of Trinidad’s tourism of­fer­ings.

Lo­cals and vis­i­tors can look for­ward to des­ti­na­tion in­for­ma­tion kiosks at the game’s vil­lage ho­tels lo­cat­ed at the Hy­att Re­gency Trinidad, Radis­son, Cara Ho­tels, and Mar­riott.

Tourism Trinidad said these pro­vi­sions will en­sure that vis­i­tors es­pe­cial­ly have ac­cess to all the nec­es­sary in­for­ma­tion and re­sources to make the most of their stay in Trinidad.

On Sat­ur­day June 24, Tourism Trinidad al­so con­duct­ed hos­pi­tal­i­ty train­ing for Com­mon­wealth Youth Games vol­un­teers to pro­vide ex­cep­tion­al cus­tomer ser­vice.

Ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2,000 vol­un­teers are be­ing mo­bilised for the games.
