Accomodation
We have made accommodation arrangements with The Cara Suites, prices include breakfast. There are other hotels in the area and you are free to book rooms at those if you wish.
All hotel bookings must be done directly with the appropriate hotel. Please note that we have a limited number of rooms at each of the Cara hotels available with the booking code. The rates offered are on a first come, first served basis.
Travel & Transport
Airports
Piarco International Airport is the main airport for Trinidad & Tobago. The airport is located around 47KM from the IIC venue, so an airport transfer or rental car would be required.
Airport Transfers
We have partnered with a local taxi firm to arrange Airport Transfers for our delegates. If you would like to arrange a transfer, please contact our Admin Team at X with your flight details and number of passengers.
Rental Cars
As public transport on the island is limited, we would recommend booking a rental car where possible. This will ensure that you can make the most of your visit to Trinidad and take in the scenic coastline during your journey.
