Tourism Trinidad Limited has officially launched a specialised training programme under the Tourism Industry Entrepreneurial Strengthening (TIES) Project at CTS College in Chaguanas. The initiative marks a significant step in strengthening the capacity of local tourism stakeholders and advancing the development of a more competitive and sustainable tourism sector.

The current cohort brings together 20 participants representing key areas of the tourism industry. The training focuses on Event Logistics and Risk Management, equipping stakeholders with the practical knowledge and tools required to effectively plan, manage, and execute festivals and events with a strong emphasis on safety, efficiency, and professionalism.

This initiative is particularly targeted at supporting small and micro tourism enterprises, ensuring they are better positioned to deliver high-quality experiences that meet the expectations of both local and international visitors. By enhancing operational standards across the sector, the programme contributes directly to improving Trinidad and Tobago’s overall tourism product.

The course is facilitated by Ms. Leslie Ann Wills-Caton and comprises nine modules delivered over 21 contact hours. Upon successful completion, participants will receive certification from CTS College, further reinforcing the professionalisation of the industry.

Tourism Trinidad Limited remains committed to investing in human capital and building a resilient tourism sector through targeted training and capacity-building initiatives under the TIES Project.
