Ambassador for TT Youths Will Rise, Nickocy Phillips wants support for Carnicopia 2023, which is a carnival event hosted in Buccoo.
Phillips mentioned that ongoing negotiations with a few interested private businesses are in progress. However, some businesses are declining due to financial challenges arising from the breakdown of the Cabo Star.
Phillips also noted that the Division of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities, and Transportation responded to their proposals but referred them to a director who sent a document with minor questions and no clear answer regarding the level of funding their event would receive. Phillips expressed disappointment that Carnicopia was not included on the THA’s 2023 October carnival calendar of events.
Phillips accused the THA of insufficient support for their events, stating that this lack of support is detrimental to Tobago. The TT Youths Will Rise Ambassador believes that if Carnicopia receives sponsorship, it will achieve success.
Regardless of whether it receives sponsorship or not, Phillips stated that Carnicopia will proceed as planned. The event is scheduled to take place from October 19th to 23rd in Buccoo.
