Travel Tips

Best ideas for business in Trinidad will be to do your own research.
But my two cents would be.
1.Animal shelters, WE NEED IT..

2.Food, restaurants off course, my love for food and I will encourage anyone to do anything where food is concerned.
Personally , I think a good restaurant will do well in trinidad, as we Trini people love to eat good tasting food, and we are always willing to try different foods, so a mixture of local and international cuisine should do very well. The food has to be good tasting, offer delivery, do catering, do the works.
I was in trinidad recently and I tell you, some of the prices in those restaurants were really high. I stuck to my street foods.
Gotta Love Trini Street FOOD.

3. Something along the line to help the youths reach their full potential, especially if they want to get into the entertainemt career.

4. Something along the line to help the young women in trinidad.. ( staying focused, getting an education and stop getting married at a young age) ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL TRINIDAD. If it still happens.
I was married at a very young age..

5. Organizing Cooking & site seeing tours. ( Bringing tourist from all over the world and while they are in trinidad,you can arrange home cooking classes and site seeing tours etc.

6. Night Club and Lounge Scene, especially bringing over the spring break college kids, your business can be seasonal and you will do very well.

Let me know what works for you.

So Trini, are you in the market for a business partner? Seems as though we are in the same boat. Drop me a line nuh. I have lots of ideas.
Internet Cafes? Why computers are very expensive in Trinidad the average person can not afford one pulse pay for Internet service wish I HEAR IS very expensive location is the key so shop around near school areas because its the high school kids into the Internet thing these day and make your price right for kids I had to use the Internet while on vacation in Trinidad and at $10 for a half hour for me was nothing but for the school kid that expensive. So that's my idea.
The Hospitality & Tourism industry remains a tough business. I am H&T Major and I am no longer in the industry bcause it does not pay.

There has been a growth in the number businesses in the industry because Trinidad & Tobago is booming. Everyone liming more, spending more on F&B and entertainment.

Any bar, restaurant, etc is always crowded and even during the week.

Once you have a good and safe spot they will come and spend the money.

We have most of the internation cuisines in trinidad - japanese, creole, chinese, italian, middle east etc.

Corporate catering is picking up. Ordering online. www.biteintt.com is a great example. I order from them.

I am not sure how long the boom is gonna last again. Maybe one or 2 more years.

Good luck.

Food!
That's not true bout computers...
The average individual has access to computers dese days and people now paying things like 5 dollars an hour cause it so so cheap.
Yuh could find ah net cafe in almos' every corner.
it jus real popular.
Food will always sell once it tasting good and not too expensive cause we like we belly..
But there are other factors like location etc but is ah good idea so yuh could try it man
