It would appear that even in the face of what, these days, are widely publicized concerns over increasingly and disturbingly high levels of crime, including violent ones, in Trinidad and Tobago, the twin-island Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member country remain popular with visitors from both within and outside the region. Back in January this year, the travel information website, Travelers Worldwide, published an article, “Is Trinidad Safe to Visit in 2024?”, in which it asserted that the twin-island Republic “has a high crime rate, including violent crimes like robbery and kidnapping.” “Foreign governments,” the article continues, “often issue travel advisories, cautioning against visiting due to these safety concerns.”
