Noise threat to Tobago tourism

Sleep was difficult as the noise continued to 4.30 am.

There were many foreigners staying at the hotel at the time but this situation will not encourage them to return. With the already alarming drop in visitor arrivals in Tobago, this does not bode well for Tobago.

I spoke to at least four foreign couples who told me they did not pay for a green and serene holiday to be disturbed at night by noise.

I am back home but will choose differently when next visiting. I ask the Environmental Management Authority and the police to get involved, if only to save our tourism industry from further destruction.
