Trinidad
Trinidad is situated at the South
East end of the
Caribbean
chain and has an area of nearly 5,000 square miles. The
country was first inhabited by the Arawak and Carib
Indians before Cristopher Colombus landed on its shores
in 1498. Today the population is 1.2 million.
Trinidad and Tobago are the
southernmost islands of the Lesser Antilles chain,
separated from
Venezuela
by the 11 km straits of the
Gulf
of
Paria;
the two islands are 30 km apart. They have been a
republic since 1962.
The islands have
rich deposits of oil and natural gas. However, the
collapse of oil prices led to a difficult recession, and
devaluation, rescheduling of foreign debt and adopting a
strict austerity budget. The agricultural sector
consists primarily of sugar for export, coffee, cocoa
and citrus. Tourism activities are concentrated on
developing the infrastructure. As a result of the
government's privatisation programme, there are
opportunities for foreign firmsin electricity generation
and electrical industrial products, food processing and
hotel and tourism development
There is a free zone at Point Lisas
in
Central Trinidad,
and several other zone sites are under consideration.
The corporate tax rate is 45% but various tax and
investment incentives are available.
Trinidad and
Tobago
have no government-owned railways. The main ports of
entry on
Trinidad
are Port-of-Spain and Point Lisas, with other ports at
Chaguaramas, Point-a-Pierre and Port Fortin. Tobago is
served by the
port
of
Scarborough.
Piarco
International
Airport
is 30 km from Port-of-Spain in Trinidad, and Crown Point
International Airport 13 km from Scarborough in
Tobago
