GRTU meets Consul for Trinidad & Tobago
08 July 2012
GRTU Council Member and Vice president EU and
International Michael Galea this week met the Consul for Trinidad and Tobago,
Mr John Hadad. Trinidad and Tobago, even though bigger than Malta are also
islands and so the representatives discussed the similarities, including the
fact that they were all once British colonies.
The population is three times
the size of the Maltese population. Tourism is also important to Trinidad and
Tobago however their strength is in oil and gas, that directly and indirectly
contributes to 80% of GDP. Mr Hadad said that they were aware that these
resources were not unlimited and therefore little by little they are trying to
switch their dependency on tourism. In addition to this they are
environmentally conscious and they are therefore trying to apply the Swedish
concept, where the revenue from the oils are being reinvested into
sustainability.
