A new digital platform, GetawayTT, has officially launched in Tobago. The all-in-one service allows users to book authentic accommodations, tours, rentals, events, flights, and even boat rides across Trinidad and Tobago. The launch took place on Saturday night at one of Tobago's newest hotels..as Elizabeth Williams reports.
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.
00:39It's about launching a shift.
00:41A shift into how we market our island, how we connect with visitors, and what value we place on our stories and our spaces and our people.
00:51When I first started thinking about Getaway TT, I wasn't thinking about building a business.
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.
