Just read about this in the Guardian Travel section.

Care in the Caribbean
In-flight entertainment on flights to the Caribbean island of Tobago now includes a video that shows holidaymakers how they can benefit the life of local islanders. The 15-minute upbeat video shows what the island has to offer, including sailing, fishing and diving in tropical waters, while encouraging holidaymakers to support local businesses by buying local crafts outside hotels and hiring local certified guides to explore the island's national parks. Funded by the travel industry's UK-based charity, The Travel Foundation, the video is being shown on all Golden Caribbean's Excel Airways flights to Tobago.

Anyone seen it yet?
I'm looking forward to seeing it on the way out.

(16 weeks 5 days to go)

Anyone know if this video is also being shown on BWIA?

Hi Jane,
I was on a dive when some of the diving footage was being filmed and I was told the plan was show it on all the international flights coming into Tobago, So BWIA should be showing it.

I've just remembered that our flight is into Port of Spain (then Tobago Express to Crown Point).

Maybe they'll still be showing it to drum up business for Tobago!

Hi Jane,
Owen the chap that was doing the video has said I can have a copy of the DVD. I don't think I'm going to be able to to get to Tobago for a good few months. If I drop him an email you could pick a copy up for me and have a look at it before you post it on. Just a thought.

the address of his office is:
The Buccoo Reef Trust
Cowie's Building
Carnbee Junction
Auchenskeoch Road
Carnbee, Tobago
West Indies

Let me know if thats OK.

Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin

I'm not going to Tobago until 13th April - 17 and a bit weeks from now (and counting!) - so if you want to see the video sooner rather than later maybe someone else from the forum could do the honours.

Any offers?
