THE TOBAGO Chamber of Industry & Commerce has given the island’s second October carnival a perfect score.
During a news conference on Wednesday at the party’s headquarters, Mc AL Building, Milford Road, Scarborough, chamber president Curtis Williams said there were no losers in the carnival.
He said everyone, from the roadside vendor to major hoteliers, benefited.
In terms of trade, Williams said, bar owners, promoters, supermarket owners and wholesalers reported a 500 per cent increase in earnings from last year.
Businessmen in the entertainment sector also reported a 500 per cent increase in earnings over the period.
“So we definitely see there is somewhat of an upward trend going forward in terms of sales.”
Saying the chamber was very happy there were no reports of serious crimes over the carnival weekend, Williams applauded the work of the security team and the Tobago Emergency Management Agency. Read More
