Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is a developing nation in the Caribbean composed of two islands. The islands gained independence from the British in 1962. The country is one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean, largely as a result of petroleum and natural gas reserves. The majority of tourist travel is to the smaller of the two islands, Tobago. Tourist facilities are available on both islands. Read the Department of State Fact Sheet on Trinidad and Tobago for additional information on U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago relations.
