TT needs one-stop shop in ny

THE EDITOR: I cannot agree more with the observation of your article regarding the confusion created in the minds of people not acquainted with our domestic abbreviations. As one who is actively involved with matters of interest to our country, I am constantly having to explain a lot connected with the non-promotion of Trinidad and Tobago. I am fully aware that tourism has always been relegated to the lowest level of our industrial complex, nevertheless since so many people depend on this trade for their livelihood, serious attention should be paid accordingly.

I would challenge anyone to make a call to BWIA, which is the nearest office concerned with tourism in the Tri-state area and be shocked to find yourself connected to Sun-jet house in Edward Street, Port-of-Spain where bewilderment and confusion immediately sets in. Once upon a time there was a Tourism office in New York, it is time to re-establish a complex housing our various agencies as a one stop shop both for nationals, tourists and potential investors.
