Castara has been selected for participation in the Upgrade Programme of the United Nations World Tourism Organization Best Tourism Villages initiative.
Castara was among three tourism-based villages submitted by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts for consideration in the UNWTO 2022 Initiative.
Other submissions included Siparia and Lopinot.
The north-eastern Tobago community was chosen from approximately 130 applications from 57 countries.
Castara was recognised as one of twenty villages with this potential and, under the Upgrade Programme, will receive support from UNWTO to improve the areas identified as gaps during the evaluation process.
