Other aspects of Homecoming TT will include tours of the Moruga Museum, visits to La Brea, Pitch Lake, and a trip down the island on a catamaran.
In Tobago, visitors can opt for the Wind ward Tour which includes stops at coastal villages from Hope to Charlottesville. The Leeward Tour will take visitors to scenic villages from Plymouth to L’Anse Fourmi.
The third aspect of Homecoming TT is a Diaspora Convention in Tobago at Mt Irvine Hotel. This event will be held on Sunday 28th August and feature an interfaith service in the morning, followed by cultural activities in the afternoon session billed as The Authentic Cultural Showcase. An appearance of the Moriah Ole Time Wedding cast will close off the day’s proceedings.
The remaining days of the convention will consist of conference sessions and panel discussions Contributors from the US, Canada and UK, as well as the Caribbean, are expected to join locally based professionals in a mix of physical and virtual interactions.
