EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Tobago’s Chief Secretary Talks New Direct Flight, Safety and Value for Canadians with John Kirk

Beginning October 25, Canadians will be able to fly nonstop from Toronto directly to Tobago on Caribbean Airlines, opening up an intriguing Caribbean option. I sat down, well, stood actually, with Tobago House of Assembly Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, the island’s top political leader, for an exclusive TMR video interview filmed near St. James Cathedral in downtown Toronto. We talked about the new flight, safety, affordability and value for money, as well as Tobago’s rich culture, diversity and remarkably unspoiled character, a glimpse of the Caribbean from the 1960s and ’70s.

For Canadians who have traditionally vacationed in Cuba, or those simply looking for a refreshing departure from the traditional all-inclusive experience, Augustine believes Tobago offers a compelling alternative—a destination where Canadians can feel safe and comfortable, engage with the local community, experience an authentic Caribbean culture and still enjoy excellent value for money.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.
