TTI's global partner in Trinidad and Tobago is The School of International Travel & Languages (SITAL) headed by Ms. Ann-Marina White. SITAL offers TTI's Flight Attendant Diploma program and graduates earn a TTI Flight Attendant Diploma program along with SITAL's diploma. Known as "the Rainbow Country," the twin island nation is home to people of African, Spanish, Chinese, British, French and Syrian descent. Trinidad, only eight miles from Venezuela, is home of calypso, pan music and Carnival. Port-of-Spain, the capital, is best seen on foot starting from the 200-acre Queens Park Savannah and fanning out in all directions to discover the technicolor culture and elaborate architecture. Tobago, just an air hop away, is largely peace and beaches. Scarborough, the capital, Fort King George, just outside town and the14,000-acre rain forest preserve are well worth visiting. The National Fine Arts Center sells local handiwork. It's also fun to shop for crafts in the many small shops and beach boutiques. The island offers a selection of new and recently refurbished hotels with golf, tennis and a full complement of watersports. Buccoo Reef is a long-time favorite of snorkelers.
