TIDCO slams BBC report

THE TOURISM and Indus-trial Development Company (TIDCO) had described a BBC report on kidnapping in Trinidad and Tobago as “misleading and sensational”.

A release from the company said the reporter and crew which did the story aired on BBC on Tuesday night were not among the 25 international media houses facilitated by TIDCO during the Carnival season. TIDCO said as a national promotional agency, it will work in conjunction with its UK-based promotional agency to ensure that such “sensationalism does not negatively impact upon the decision-making process of UK nationals” considering travelling to Trinidad and Tobago.
