تعتبر منطقة البحر الكاريبي من أجمل وجهات السفر في العالم، وعلى الرغم من أن المنطقة غالباً ما تُرى كوحدة متراصة (الشمس والبحر والرمال) من الخارج، إلا أن كل منطقة تقع عبر الأرخبيل، تتمتع بمناظر خلابة للنباتات والحيوانات والمهرجانات والثقافات الفريدة.
نظرًا لتغير المناخ الذي يهدد العالم بأسره (وخاصة [2] بالنسبة للدول الجزرية [3] )، فقد أصبح ربط السياحة بالوعي البيئي من الأمور الملحة بالنسبة لسكان الكاريبي، والمهمة للعديد من الاقتصاديات الإقليمية.
يقوم حساب الناشرون الكاريبيون MEP Caribbean Publishers [4] على إنستغرام، وهو دار النشر الذي ينتج Caribbean Bea [5] t – ومنشورات السفر الأخرى مثل Discover Trinidad and Tobag [6] o – بعمل رائع في الترويج لجمال المنطقة وتشجيع السياحة المسؤولة والمستدامة.

In what was once a Capuchin pilgrimage church of the same name in Siparia — a town settled by the first Spanish colonists — stands a dark-skinned statue of the Virgin Mary as La Divina Pastora (the Divine Shepherdess). But this is not her only name, and Catholics are not the only ones who celebrate her. She is the Black Madonna. Siparee or Supari Mai (mother of Siparia). Kali. Durga. Lakshmi. The Patron Saint of Siparia. The Miracle Mother. Many miracles have been attributed to her by ardent devotees. For her feast day (the third Sunday after Easter), the “Miracle Mother” is decorated by Catholics with flowers, dressed in white, and processed through the streets, followed by celebrations open to all. On the Thursday night (Holy or Maundy Thursday) and Good Friday before Easter, Hindu pilgrims visit the church with acts of devotion — offerings of oil, rice, jewellery, rice, flowers, and the giving of alms to the needy — and recognising her most of all as “mother”. Dr Noor Kumar Mahabir has observed that in recent times, a Kali-Mai Hindu poojari has occupied the church grounds, who collects donations from worshippers to perform jharying, or protecting the celebrant from illness or calamity. As such, Holy Thursday and Good Friday mark the start of weeks of veneration by both Hindus and Catholics, celebrating the festivals of Siparee Mai and La Divina Pastora. Globally, this unique cross-cultural celebration makes Trinidad one of the only countries in the world with active veneration of Black Madonna/Virgin statues. Have a blessed and beautiful day and weekend!

Each Easter in Tobago, the village of Buccoo hosts the Family Day and Goat & Crab Races. The animals hurtle down a special 110m (160ft) track to the finish line, hustled on by barefoot “jockeys” who sprint behind their charges, holding the colourfully attired goats on long ropes, and the crabs on short strings. The showdown happens each Easter Monday and Tuesday at Mt Pleasant, as well as Buccoo (the main location). There’s a repeat later in the year at the Heritage Festival. Alpines, Toggenburgs and Saanens are the types of goats raced each year. To prepare for the events, they are given special diets (oats, vitamins, pigeon peas for iron) and months of training; stamina is built by taking the goats swimming.
