According to Brian Charles, Vice President of Marketing, TIDCO the seminar hoped to not only welcome the Costa Rican contingent but also facilitate an exchange of knowledge and ideas so that they could promote Trinidad and Tobago in Costa Rica.
As part of promoting destination T&T to the visiting group, Charles added that during their stay here, they would encounter the cultural diversity and dynamic combination of a vibrant, cosmopolitan nation (Trinidad) and an idyllic, tranquil paradise (Tobago).
