What happened
Rocky Point, located in south-west Tobago, is a site of debate between large-scale commercial development and smaller, community-owned projects. The Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association is focused on attracting private partnership investment to upgrade the region's tourism product. In 2021, a government agency invited proposals from qualified firms to design and manage a premier hotel on 12 hectares of Rocky Point.
