Reports of crime in any country acts as a deterent to potential tourist. to go a little further, crime affects the entire economy of Tobago...a lot of people in tobago work in the hospitality industry, when there is less tourist in the country, it may become difficult for smaller business eg guest houses etc to remain sustainable. it also means that food places...fast food, food shed on beaches, persons selling red mango around d ports...gets less sales. fishermen will sell less sea food as hotels etc will be purchasing less produce from them. In general, every one who provides a service geared towards tourism will be affected.
