Tobago government agency seeks hotel bids for Rocky Point beach
The Tobago government agency Eteck invited proposals in 2021 to develop a hotel at the Rocky Point resort in south-west Tobago.
Development request issued last year
Eteck, the state body managing economic zones, asked qualified firms to design and manage a premier hotel. The site covers 12 hectares of land located within the Back Bay area. Rene Seepersadsingh of the Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association says the island is focused on attracting private partnership investment.
Community divides over growth plans
Local residents are split between those wanting large-scale development and those preferring smaller community-owned projects. The beach features coral reefs and fruit-bearing trees alongside dark rock formations. This location remains relatively unspoiled despite the ongoing struggle between opposing interests.
