Study in Paradise. Work Anywhere: Why Regional Students Choose THTI

When students think about building a career in hospitality, tourism, culinary arts or food and beverage operations, one question always comes up: Where will this qualification take me?

At the Tobago Hospitality and Tourism Institute (THTI), the answer is simple, anywhere.


A Learning Environment That Inspires

THTI’s campus is set against Tobago’s natural landscape, offering open green spaces, fresh air and an environment designed for focus and creativity. Students learn in a calm, purpose-built setting that encourages personal growth while preparing them for the fast-paced realities of the hospitality and tourism industry.

It is a place where learning feels grounded, practical and intentional, not overwhelming.

Hands-On Training That Mirrors the Real World

What truly sets THTI apart is its emphasis on practical, hands-on training. From culinary labs and student dinners to hospitality simulations and industry exposure, students don’t just study theory, they apply it daily.

This approach ensures that graduates leave with confidence, discipline and workplace-ready skills that employers value across the Caribbean and beyond.

Recognized, Accredited and Career-Focused

THTI is an accredited tertiary institution, offering Associate Degree programmes designed to meet industry standards and workforce needs. Graduates are equipped with qualifications that open doors in hotels, restaurants, resorts, cruise lines, event companies and tourism organisations across the region.

Whether students choose to work in Trinidad, Tobago, the wider Caribbean or internationally, their training at THTI travels with them.

Support Beyond the Classroom

Regional students choose THTI not only for its programmes, but for its supportive academic environment. Small class sizes, accessible lecturers and dedicated Student Services ensure that students receive guidance from application through to graduation.

For students from Trinidad and elsewhere, the Institute also provides assistance and referrals regarding accommodation options in Tobago, helping to ease the transition into campus life.

A Strategic Start at the Right Time

For those who missed the September intake, are transitioning careers, or are ready to commit to their goals now, THTI’s January 2026 Intake offers a timely entry point.

Applications are open from January 8–15, 2026, and the application fee will be waived during this period.

Start Here. Go Anywhere.

Choosing THTI means choosing an education that balances environment, experience and employability. It is where students study in paradise, gain practical skills, and graduate prepared to work anywhere.
