Unusual activity at ANR Robinson International Airport has sparked fresh concerns for Tobago’s tourism sector, with the Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association (THTA) warning of potential financial fallout as the island approaches the Christmas season.
Association president Reginald MacLean told Guardian Media that hotel operators are facing a difficult and uncertain period as visitors raise questions about the recent US military landing in Tobago, the installation of a new radar system at Crown Point, and US President Donald Trump’s declaration that Venezuelan airspace should be considered “closed in its entirety.”
MacLean said the association is essentially bracing for impact, noting that nothing about the situation is within Tobago’s control. “It is all out of our control. We can make suggestions, but nothing will materialise,” he said.
