The TT Chamber Annual Report for 2019

Tobago Division
The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce is the
only business association with a special Division in Tobago, dedicated
to holistically serving the needs of Tobago-based businesses. A
Tobago Chamber was first established in 1936 and some 37 years
later, in 1973, became to the Tobago Division, after a degree of
structural change.
The Division represents the interests of Tobago-based
companies, and lobbies on their behalf, particularly with the
Tobago House of Assembly. The Chairman of the Division
champions Tobago-specific issues at the national level, with
a view to bringing positive resolve wherever possible. These
collaborations help to preserve the critical link between the
public and private sectors.
The Division operates under the leadership of an annually
elected Chairman and Management Committee. The
elected Chair serves on the Board of the T&T Chamber.
Additionally, the eight divisional sub-committees
comprised of volunteer members, review and report on
key areas such as Business Development, Airlift and
Tourism, Security, Manufacturing, the Environment and
Inter-island Transport.
Monthly meetings are held with the membership and
an annual Tobago Can Cook, which is usually well
attended by the island’s community. Currently, the
Division boasts a membership over 50 corporate
members.
