Tourism Oriented Policing Programme (TOPS) for police, immigration, customs, and other front-line law enforcement officials was launched by Tourism Trinidad Limited (TTL) on July 8 and successfully concluded on July 12, 2022.
This was in response to the critical need to ensure that visitorsā first impressions are positive and memorable upon entering our shores.
The aim of this five-day programme was to provide security and other port of entry representatives with the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enhance the image of Destination Trinidad.
They would be providing a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for our international guests while bringing an increased awareness of their collective and individual roles within the tourism industry and its development.
Moreover, the TOPS training initiative facilitates the empowerment of stakeholders ā especially state agencies ā through the provision of well-designed professional education programmes to ensure the optimal contribution of the tourism industry to national economic development.

You can rent just 1 cottage with either 1 or 2 bedrooms; or all 4 cottages.
