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.
