CEO's Welcome for the rebranded website

Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago. The Home of Carnival and home to the greatest show on earth. As Chief Executive Officer  of the National Carnival Commission (NCC) of Trinidad and Tobago, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the gateway of the world's biggest party and present you with your passport to our celebrations. I hope you enjoy your stay with us on this website.

At the NCC, we are charged with the responsibility to make carnival a viable, national, cultural and commercial enterprise, as well as to provide the managerial and organisational infrastructure for the efficient and effective presentation and marketing of all carnival related events. I am proud to say that thus far, I have ensured that this organisation has lived up to its mandate and continue to seek avenues that make this industry competitive and viable. Within the last fiscal year, the NCC has strengthened its managerial structure by filling vacant positions with qualified and competent individuals who will manage the 2015 celebrations and beyond.

Moreso, the Commission has implemented a strategic plan, developed for the period 2013-2017, which is consistent with the national framework for sustainable development, based upon the 7 pillars outlined in the Government's Medium Term Policy Framework. This plan has structured our  strategic goals within a balanced scorecard framework. This balanced scorecard provides the leadership with a comprehensive framework that assists in translating our vision and mission into concrete set of objectives and measures.

Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost  Island in the Island chain of the Caribbean, northeast of Venezuela. We are made up of 7 Islands, with the two main and most inhabited, being Trinidad and Tobago, with the capital city-Port of Spain.

The Queens' Park Savannah in Port of Spain is the epicenter of the greatest show on earth, which usually commences  with launches of both Carnival and Regional Carnival.

As CEO, I firmly believe that the NCC has some of the most dedicated and committed employees in the country. I witnessed firsthand, the effort, energy and creativity employed on the job to get things done as they seek to ensure we create a sustainable future for all and that carnival is celebrated in an atmosphere of safety and enjoyment.

Through creativity, innovation and collaboration, we shall prosper together and make our beautiful twin Island state a place where all who live and visit here, will call home.

Welcome again, to our home, Trinidad and Tobago.
