Tobago tour operators are fearing for the future of the tourism industry after the abrupt closure of the Asa Wright Nature Centre eco-lodge in Trinidad.
In a statement on January 18, the centre announced that with the continued closure of the borders and the limited physical movement as a result of covid19, its management decided to terminate its eco-lodge business.
Asa Wright Nature Centre, at Spring Hill Estate, Arima, comprises an eco-lodge and hotel. It is a world-renowned site, particularly of interest to nature seekers and bird watchers.
