PORT-OF-SPANIEN, TRINIDAD –Coverage av Trinidad och Tobagos karnevalsaktiviteter brukar köra massor av media från tryck till radio och tv, vilket lockar läsare, lyssnare och tittare att njuta av livets färg, färg och spektakel av festivalen. Trinidad och Tobago är därför den perfekta destinationen för att uppleva Carnival och Tourism Development Company Limited när de inser att detta vänder sig till sociala medier för att sprida budskapet om festligheterna.
Trinidad och Tobago Tourism Development Company Limited kommer att vara värd för sju journalister från den 6 till den 12 februari 2015, som specialiserat sig på att skriva för olika sociala medier.
Dessa journalister har ett kombinerat socialt medieuppslag på 6.5 miljoner personer och därför bör deras räckvidd och inflytande på den beslutsamma besökarens rese- och semesterbeslut inte underskattas.
This group will be treated to the diversity and variety that is destination Trinidad and Tobago not only with the celebration of Carnival but will also be exposed to the myriad of sites, attractions and activities that visitors to Trinidad and Tobago have come to know and love. Online readers of publications such as Ebony Magazine, Travel Bug, Life & Style Weekly and In Touch Weekly will be treated to the journalists’ adventures through the All-Inclusive Parties and Fetes where sweet soca music can be thoroughly enjoyed, Pan Yard visits where the sounds of Trinidad and Tobago’s signature instrument, the steelpan can be heard in all its splendor and Mas Camp visits where the group will be treated to the anatomy and coming to life of the colorful costumes that will be put on show during the two days of Carnival.
Carnival however is just the tip of the tropical iceberg for Trinidad and Tobago. The group will also be treated to the islands’ culinary fare which range from fine dining to street food, a visit to the Caroni Bird Sanctuary for the nature lovers’ experience and they will also be exposed to the rich culture of the Central Experience where the influence of the East Indian community through religion and food is most evident.
Not to be left out is the sister island of Tobago. Whilst Trinidad is often described as the boisterous big sister of the two islands, Tobago is renowned for being laid back and offering more of the traditional sun, sea and sand holiday that others may crave. For three days, this unique group of media will be treated to a visit to the Buccoo Reef and Nylon Pool which is an in-sea shallow white ground coral pool located off Pigeon Point, Tobago, a tour of a historic cocoa estate and the Argyle Water Falls and will also do standup paddle boarding at the beautiful Pigeon Point Beach which always gives the visitor an immense thrill.
So with social media being the “go to” tool for sharing messages of all types it is both timely and strategic that the Trinidad and Tobago Tourism Development Company Limited gives these special journalists an opportunity to experience this destination where you get two unique experiences that can both stimulate the senses and calm the mind. Look out for their posts just before Carnival as they share with readers in the social universe about the virtues of terrific Trinidad and tranquil Tobago.
