Seriously though, Tobago throws away a lot of potential by having a very crappy attitude towards customer service. Especially now with social media and websites like trip advisor they really need to focus on treating people well to help build their brand instead of destroying it.

Treat a tourist like that and they're going to go back home and give negative reviews. You think only Tobago has coral reefs and nice beaches? If people hear that they are rude to tourists then they're probably going to look to somewhere else when planning their vacation.

Tobago attitude stink to you because they fed up dealing with middle-class trinis who couldn't afford to go Margarita this time, so they go Tobago and act like the fly out to foreign and could talk down to ppl because they spending $TT. Nobody drives down to San Fernando and complains about the bad service of San Fernando, it's the whole country, Tobago no different.

If you are white and have an accent then the service improves and you get the full experience but if you black like them and acting like if they need you to give them good word of mouth because you will bring forex and international acclaim then you will be disappointed. And if you vex about that you will get the same treatment in Mayaro, Maracas, Chaguaramas and any other local tourist destination.

When last I checked, Tobago tickets still selling out because locals still going.

Habit7 you speak of utter Tata.

This is what AbstractPoetic had a to say about Tobago

Tobago is on a downward spiral. What I found most disgusting was not even ONE article was posted about this unfortunate situation in the Tobago News online. Most every other Caribbean island's newspaper, Reuters and Yahoo! News mentioned this murder but nothing from Tobago's press.

My husband and I recently visited Tobago and we decided to not visit again, at least not anytime soon. The customer service was horrendous, the attitudes we encountered in shopping malls, groceries and restaurants was extremely distasteful, rude and nonchalant. Imagine we went to a local bakery to request a cake and we simply asked the cashier "what type of cakes do you have" and she replied "yuh ent see them right dey? Dais all we have", with rolled eyes to boot. We simply walked out. The only Tobagonians that helped salvage the experience was our driver (an older gentleman) and hotel manager (German). We have decided to not recommend Tobago to our friends, family and colleagues. We had a much more pleasant experience in Trinidad.

Its one thing for the government to give their condolences and quite another to DO something about it. Some vengeful person is after tourists and he or she is allowed to reign free because of the inept government and police force of Tobago. What could these two tourists have done to cause such an ANGRY attack?? Is there some history we don't know about? It all seems so personal. No hold up for cash or belongings but just a brutal death. It also appears they were renting a villa (perhaps?) from Abraham Realty. Why are tourists even renting from Abraham Realty when most of their villas are not on gated premises? It's just a huge risk if you ask me.

From our experiences of horrible customer service, 8-hour flight delays to and from Trinidad/Tobago, dilapidated conditions of hotels and guest facilities to now more rampant attacks and murders of tourists, its best Tobago learns this the hard way by tourists finding other islands to spend vacation. The government will more than likely not doing anything about this unfortunate event! No increased patrol, no local ordinance that requires all rentals and hotels have 24/7 security, just nothing. Tobagonians don't seem to care so why should tourists continue to spend their money there? Let them learn the hard way.

The airport and the seaport: Ongoing saga between Trinidad and Tobago
26 Jul 2015
DEAR EDITOR:

THIS is about the terrible treatment meted out to standby passengers leaving Trinidad, bound for Tobago, on Wednesday, June 3 2015. This was no international flight, but a domestic situation where fare-paying travelling members of the country simply wanted to take a flight home. Imagine for most, we were in our own jurisdiction!

Some passengers arrived at the airport as early as 1pm and/or before. Scores, over 100 persons mostly Tobagonians, our brother and sister from Trinidad and visitors to the island were forced to remain in the airport and, sleep in the frigid/cold unaccommodating open spaces that were just "perfect" for our local travellers stranded at Piarco International Airport overnight, because no additional flight was arranged for us until after 12 noon the next day, Thursday, June 4, 2015.

We are disappointed. This was the first bad treatment for yours truly, travelling home for Corpus Christi, but for several persons, it was a recurring nightmare. As usual, travellers included persons that visited Trinidad for business, pleasure, work, education, health, urgent appointments etc. Notably, the front desk workers and their supervisors (assumption) were very insensitive to our plight and pleas. Though the flight arrangements seemed out of their control; the smirking, giggles, soft bark, irritated voice tones, annoyed stares, the switching off of the lights on scores of us at midnight and rudely walking off (while others flew home), was heart rending. Let me highlight that maybe to our disadvantage, the crowd of passengers remained patient and respectful, but this was sheer torture as we felt the disrespect to our core.

I do not know if knowledge of this event will reach an assigned committee of Caribbean Airlines that can help to negotiate change or a minister of government; but I guess we just hope that additional flights can be made available for these annual holiday weekends, vacation times or festive seasons. I am reliably informed that airbridge situation might have been addressed head–on by our ‘leaders’ in Tobago, but so far the situation continues to get worse. We need solutions for the Tobagonians and the travelling public at large.

To our leaders and readers, some suggest more boats on the seabridge to absorb local traffic at the airport, but with the speed of travel taken into consideration, it’s only one solution. More connecting or direct flights to Tobago can be arranged at these peak times for travellers between Trinidad and Tobago. Some sort of airbus. Creeping in also is the suggestion about the introduction of sea planes, of which some know little. Remember also the suggestion of a bridge or causeway of some sort between our twin islands (ref: Virginia bridge and tunnel, or Panama causeway?).The experts will know exactly how this can be done, if it is a safe and feasible.

Getting to Tobago should be a breeze, not a hurricane. Who will negotiate better for us Tobagonians and the wider population? I am trying to find out. Respect.

PS! Due to the overnight delay in getting to Tobago, I missed the opening session of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) Tobago District ceremony. I gladly made it to the Professional day Friday, June 5 2015. Listening to our feature speaker Mr. Rennie Dumas, I learnt that our union, among others, has influenced the waves of change for key events during the evolution and development of our island from the 1960’s until present day. I make this plea for positive change in the inter-island transport situation in Trinidad and Tobago, not only for teachers, but every well deserving member of the public on the twin Island.

The problem is a lot of you guys seeing yourself as outsiders visiting another country. If the service in Trinidad is bad, why be so disappointed of the service in Tobago? The facts affecting bad service in Trinidad apply to Tobago as well. Also having had brief stints in customer service I can say Trinis are also bad customers, Trinis get a kick out of rinsing out their mouth on a CSR or being rude to their busy waitress or not tipping. This might not be you but I have experienced being nice to Trinbagoian customers and not have it reciprocated along with them being cheap.

Fellow Caribbean neighbours can attest it especially Jamaicans and Guyanese who Trinis act like if they are privileged to even enter Trinidad. If you get bad service in Tobago, do the same like if you get bad service in POS and boycott it, simple.

You have to be an idiot to assume that EVERYONE who complains about the bad service in Tobago simply was talking down to them. I don't care what article you link to or what theory you have in your head about how trinis view themselves. Your logic is paint brushing a la ZR and the others and it's disgusting.

Lots of trinis go there and DO NOT talk down to anyone and get bad service nonetheless. Can't believe you actually trying to justify bad service. If it's sheit in Trinidad we will talk about it just as well.

Aren't you doing that same thing you are accusing me of by broad brushing all of Tobago as giving bad service?

My original statement was "Tobago attitude stink to you because they fed up dealing with middle-class trinis who couldn't afford to go Margarita this time"
I never said all trinis talk down to Tobagoians but would you admit some do? Before Sat Maharaj called for his boycott of Tobago after THA election I heard with my own ears him saying "Tobagoians men are only good for two things, run down white woman and get AIDS." How would you think an individual like that will dealt with fellow Tobagoian citizens in the service industry?

While this is all anedotal my experience of Tobago customer service is no better or worst than Trinidad. Some establishments good, some bad. But my point is to fix Tobago customer service is to fix Trinidad and Tobago customer service, part of which is us being respectable customers.

[pete]

THA supporting most of the population with their budgetary allocation so has fostered that attitude. Worse yet is to try to get anyone to do work for you there.

So basically Tobago store bay service is the equivalent of walking into a Government office having to face public service workers?

Any Sought after Tourist destination, the people there are Very accommodating and hospitable, they know how to treat customers, they cater to your needs, they know that their reputation is at stake.

In Tobago it seems as if they want their whole stinking island to themselves.

[skylinechild]

Exactly tobago has so much potential but the attitude of people will never change. Customer service....lololol u always get the tobago version unless yuh skin white (not local white eh) and you have an accent

so in essence...a bottle ah bleach and a hyundai....an yuh orn like socks.

I was disputing your statement with respect to, seemingly in even your own quote, all of Tobago being fed up because middle class trinis talk down to them. You essentially attributed ALL the bad service in Tobago to this scenario and I don't agree.

I think we can go on interpreting snippets of what each other posted and applying broadly without any context but really can't be bothered

My MAIN point is we as Trinibagoians cannot see ourselves entirely as two insular bodies where we go over to another part of the country and expect a major change in culture, especially in respect to customer service. If 96% give and receive bad customers service, why not expect the remaining 4% to be a reflection of the majority.

Furthermore, it is even more idiotic to think hurting Tobago by boycotting them will correct them. You continue to support bad customer service in Trinidad financially, but boycotting "them" is boycotting "us" because they will still receive their proportional constitutional budgetary allotment and going elsewhere will contribute to negative forex. Boycotting Tobago is boycotting Trinidad and Tobago.

Can't really blame bagonians for not wanting Trinis there.

[moving]

customer service sucks in both Trinidad and Tobago.
but Tobago is bad on a whole different level.
tobago primarily makes its money from tourism. so when i think about customer service it should be on par with barbados, curacao etc. and WHY cause these are the countries they are competing against.. i love travelling in the caribbean and i love tobago but let me tell ya, i cant even get a bag of ice in tobago without the lady telling me, "u making me walk outside to open the cooler. steupsssss."

"sigh, and now i hadda beg for d ice"

and dis has been the general attitude in tobago for as far as i can remember. i don't condone it and i don't try and justify the poor attitudes and extremely poor customer service. And what makes it even worse is when no one has prices up.. they just call whatever price they can get away with.
i get it all the time ohh u trini. couldnt tell as u are a white boi.. i go link ya a better price.

u think that impresses me at all. more like shake my head and wonder what kind of impression we are leaving on our tourists.

on the other hand i can say that i have found really good places in tobago and i will keep on going there for a long time. but generally the customer experience i have experienced is really poor..

as a matter a fact shout out to SANDY POINT BEACH HOTEL.. never me and allya again.. allya front desk staff and manager too STINK and DUTY. i hope RCI revoke ya membership

i didnt receive bad customer service in trinidad neither

maybe cuz i have an accent

the only thing thats bad is that they move soo slowwwww. you order something and it takes for ever!!!!!

even in the banks, airports, everywhere ppl move slow.

but ive never received attitude

but i guess moving at a slow pace is considered bad customer service!!

there's really no kind of difference between the service you get in Trinidad and what you get in Tobago only small difference i noticed is Tobagonians tend to be a little less "hostile" but i typically don't get attitude from either parties unless some employee looking to vent because they just had ah fight with dey "wife,mother,husband,chirren"

Well my initial response to you was that in other Caribbean islands the best restaurants are also European/Continental cuisine. Tourists may like to try local cuisine but their diet will have to still rely on food they know or at least food very similar to it.

This entire thread devolving into my anecdote versus your anecdote versus somebody else. My point is whatever bad customer service Tobago it is a reflection on customer service of Trinidad & Tobago. To think that Tobago needs to improve its customer service because they rely on tourism while Trinidad doesn't is not the case. Tobago relies Trinidad, not tourism. When T&T has good customer service, Tobago will have good customer service.
