Tobago’s New Airport: Symbol Of Ambition Or Empty Gateway?
October 6th, 2025- The $144 million ANR Robinson International Airport terminal is poised to become a modern gateway to the world, with a projected opening in late 2025. While the new facility showcases Tobago’s ambitions on a global scale, tourism experts warn that its immediate economic impact may be limited.
Industry insiders point to an accommodation gap as a key constraint, noting that without sufficient lodging and supporting infrastructure, the terminal’s potential to boost visitor numbers and generate revenue could be blunted. The airport stands as a symbol of progress, yet stakeholders stress that complementary investments are essential to translate state-of-the-art infrastructure into tangible economic gains.
