 Welcome to OMNI Travel Magazine

Welcome to the first edition of OMNI Travel Magazine. This magazine will serve
as a local vacation planner with holidaying in Trinidad and Tobago as its central
theme. Additional highlights will include historical sites, nature trails, travel des-
tinations and places of interest that can be visited within T&T.

The vacation season is always a busy time and can present a challenge to per-
sons because of various commitments. OMNI TRAVEL magazine will provide
vacation information options to citizens to plan their vacation at destinations and
places of interest in Trinidad and Tobago.

What also makes this magazine unique is the way information is compiled and
packaged under familiar headings for ease of reference and decision making with
regards, but not exclusive, to the July- August holidays. In addition, the magazine
also contains extensive listings of some of the most useful phone numbers to aid
you while on vacation and even in your everyday life, making it an essential tool
for every household.

This magazine can be used to gather information on where to stay and what to do
with the unlikelihood of visiting the same places over and over again.

Have a safe and enjoyable vacation.!!!

Thank you for your support of this magazine.

Respectfully,

Elliot Ash

It’s vacation time! All your family and friends have decided to travel to England, Canada and the
US, and you’re the one who gets to wave them goodbye as they smile at you from inside the aeroplane.
As the plane takes off, you feel a peculiar emptiness inside you, and you begin to bombard yourself
with a range of questions: Why is T&T so dull? There’s nothing to do here! I’m so sick and tired of this
place! It’s so ... normal. Gosh, I really wanted to go away with everyone.
A better question might be, Why don’t you go drink some tea and go in yuh bed? Chuts, man! If for
any reason you believe that T&T is so horrible, there’s a high chance you have never stayed in a first
world country for a long period of time.

Ever wondered why so many foreigners’ dream is to visit the Caribbean? It’s because there’s no
other part of the world capable of providing an individual with a completely unique experience as
the Caribbean does. When you’re in a Caribbean island everyday has the potential to be exhilarating
and imaginative, whereas in other parts of the world most citizens are highly focussed on societal
improvements and routine work—which are all magnificent by themselves—but do little in reminding
people that living life in general means that nothing should ever be consistently about work. Having
to put extreme effort into anything takes the fun out of it (picture a wannabe singer trying to sing a
Whitney Houston song). Because most T&T citizens don’t find it necessary to work till they drop, it’s
for this reason that Trinidad and Tobago has a slight edge over many other countries in the world. Let’s
