The Institute was founded in 1997 to address the need for trained professionals in the tourism and hospitality industries as well as to compete in a globally competitive market, alongside other Caribbean islands.
THTI offers Associate Degree Programmes alongside a multitude of short courses in Tourism, Culinary Arts, Hospitality and Food & Beverage Operations. It uses its institutional knowledge to provide information, innovation and inspiration to the industry.
In 2009, THTI became the first indigenous Tobago institution to be registered with the Accreditation Council of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT), and subsequently accredited in 2014 and again in 2019.
Located on a 100-acre estate of pristine forest lands overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, THTI’s sprawling campus is nestled within farming and fishing communities of Blenheim, Tobago.
