Banwari

Banwari Experience Limited has been in the tourism business for over 28 years. We have done tourism presentations both locally and internationally. We have created events such as the Yorker in 2004 – a cultural event for World Cup Cricket. We have also created and implemented the concept of community participation-centered tourism to some of the communities we have engaged. Mr. Welch (Managing Director) has published a book ‘Toasting Tourism’ that is used by tourism academics and practitioners alike in T&T and other Caribbean destinations. The Caribbean Beachfood Festival will include a Food Security Conference and have started discussions in Holland and the UK to invite top tour operators and travel agents to a Trade Fair for the 2027 Festival. A main feature of the festival is tours throughout Trinidad and Tobago. 

CBF – Caribbean Beachfood Festival

The Caribbean Beachfood Festival (CBF) aims to introduce the local cuisine of small entrepreneurs from throughout the Caribbean to highlight communities, tourism, culture, food and beverage, and products and services manufactured in the region in general and Trinidad and Tobago. The inaugural event was held on March 30 and 31, 2024 and highlighted a series of Tourism, Culinary and Cultural activities.

CBF brings together the best alcoholic and other beverages and epicurean specialties from the top local cooks in the Caribbean Islands and neighbouring mainland destinations. The Waterfront Esplanade is transformed into a food and beverage strip with destination display booths, food stations, drinks and cocktail stations, a Caribbean Fashion catwalk, and a main stage to highlight the region’s cultural offerings.
