    The west side of the island features beautiful beaches and the Bucco reef. The east side features unspoilt rainforest.

    Talk

    From Daily Telegraph

    Tourism to the Caribbean was dealt another blow this week after two middle-aged English women were raped and robbed at knifepoint while on holiday in Tobago.

    The brutal attack, which was carried out in front of the womens_f husbands, took place in the early hours of the morning at a guesthouse in Black Rock.

    It follows the murder of a Swedish couple last week and hoteliers fear it is likely to deter holidaymakers from travelling to the island just as the peak travel period approaches.

    _gThese brutal attacks on visitors will definitely have an adverse affect on tourism,_h said Carol Ann Birchwood-James, the President of the Tobago Hotel Association. She added that there had already been cancellations since the murder of the Swedish couple at their villa in Bon Accord. Up to 60,000 British holidaymakers visit Trinidad and Tobago each year.
