00:00With this platform, it enables you to have a one-stop shop for tourism in Tobago.
00:06When I say tourism in Tobago, this basically is, you could rent hotels, guest houses, villas, book car renters, book events.
00:17Events like you have the Tobago Carnival coming up.
00:20You could book tickets to these different fets that you may have.
00:23You also have reef tour operators on board.
00:26You could book your reef tours online.
00:27The official launch took place on the compound of the Crown Hotel, one of the newest hotels on the island, adding over 50 rooms to Tobago's hospitality sector.

00:59I was thinking about how hard it still is to plan your trip to Trinidad and Tobago.
01:05Mr. Eastman says the goal is to elevate the tourism experience through curated listings, event-driven promotions, and local business support.
01:15We built Getaway TT to build that bridge, a bridge between the people and places, a bridge between opportunity and ownership, a bridge between the world and Trinidad and Tobago.
01:30And tonight, that bridge goes live.
01:32It's more than just tech.
01:34It's more than just listings.
01:36It's more than just booking.
01:38It's the freedom to explore our country like never before.
01:42With Tobago's tourism sector on a path to recovery and growth, stakeholders hope Getaway TT will make planning local vacations easier and more efficient.
