Are large brands a good fit for Tobago?

Are large brand hotels a good fit for Tobago? This was the question asked by Independent Senator Dr Anthony Vieira just before the Upper House was dismissed for its annual recess on Friday. Dr Vieira cited concerns faced by large brand resorts around the world, leading to closures, as well as the problems posed by rising sea levels and other climate change-related factors on coastal infrastructure. He is wary that the environmental laws of Trinidad and Tobago are not aligning with the need for Small Island Developing States to mitigate climate change.
