Carnival is an integral part of Trinidad and Tobago’s history and culture. As our long-standing major tourism offering, it’s evolved from a simple street parade into a months-long calendar of culturally enriching events. Culminating on Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
Even Tobago now has its stand-alone Carnival celebration, with this year’s iteration of tobago carnival running from October 25th to 27th.
With the event on the sister isle still in its early stages and seeking to attract more visitors. It can undoubtedly benefit significantly from media monitoring.
Here’s how the Tobago Tourism Board can leverage Media InSite’s Social Listening tools to take Tobago Carnival’s promotional content to the next level.

This data on visitors’ positives and pain points can be used by the Tobago Tourism Board to craft more appealing marketing content. This can focus on promoting the most discussed events or highlighting aspects of Tobago Carnival that are most appreciated by the audience.
These insights can also help address concerns, like crowd control or safety ahead of the event’s staging before they become major issues.
During the weekend event, our Social Listening tools will allow the Tourism Board to track conversations and trends about Tobago Carnival as they unfold. This real-time data can be used to engage directly with attendees, respond to inquiries, address any incidents or promote specific events based on what people are talking about the most online.
