Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2017 (#28)

Published every year since 1991, Discover T&T helps readers discover where to stay, dine, lime, party, and shop; and what to see (including the islands’ best sites) and experience (festivals, arts and culture, sports, and eco escapes), in both islands. There’s also a national calendar of events; info on getting here and getting around; tips for safe and sustainable travel; T&T history and society in a nutshell, maps; and more. For the second edition in the row, the magazine features a distinctive dual-cover design, with one cover for each island — Trinidad's Gasparee Caves (captured by Stephen Reyes) and a leatherback turtle hatchling in Tobago (captured by Giancarlo Lalsingh). Discover T&T is aimed at local and international explorers planning getaways to the islands — whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday.

Film & cinema<br />

The film industry has long been earmarked for<br />

growth, and incentive and rebate programmes<br />

have made the islands an attractive location for<br />

filming. Work by locally-based and Caribbean<br />

diaspora artists are on show at the annual T&T<br />

Film Festival (see our Festivals section). Some<br />

home-grown features also get runs at local<br />

cinemas (the most popular of which are Movie-<br />

Towne in Port of Spain and Chaguanas; Caribbean<br />

Cinemas 8 in Trincity and San Fernando;<br />

and the Digicel Imax in Port of Spain). The UWI<br />

Campus Film Classics and European Film Festivals<br />

host special screenings of regional and<br />

foreign indie films.<br />
