Tobago Heritage Festival - The Purpose
When the late George Stanley Beard conceptualized the Tobago Heritage Festival, it was in part to launch cultural tourism on the island. However, its true purpose was more. It was supposed to be educational, an event to strengthen communities, and be a launch pad for a Tobago Carnival.
This was revealed by Bindley Benjamin, who worked closely with Mr. Beard in the Division of Tourism within the THA to develop the Tobago Heritage Festival.
