Trinidad is the fifth richest country in terms of GDP per capita in the Americas after the USA and Canada. What sets Trinidad apart is that it doesn’t rely heavily on tourism for its survival when compared to other island countries in the Caribbean, but has its own industries to support its economy such as the petrochemicals and petroleum. It is because of this that the World Bank has recognized Trinidad and Tobago as a high-income economy.The country is well-known for its African and Indian cultures and festivals such as Carnivals, Diwali and Hosay celebrations and is known to have a vibrant and inclusive culture.
