Tourism Trinidad is continuing its extended focus on embracing MICE or Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions tourism to enhance our tourism product and stimulate economic growth. This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to position Trinidad as the premier destination in the English-speaking Caribbean for small to medium conferences.

MICE tourism is a dynamic sector with the potential to drive economic activity in the tourism industry. As we recognize the immense opportunities this type of tourism presents, Trinidad is taking bold steps to continue catering to and attracting this segment and reap its benefits.
