The Safe Tobago initiative, developed under the auspices of the Division of Tourism, Transport, and Antiquities, is the strategic vision of the Honourable Tashia Burris. As a distinguished leader in regional tourism and an internationally recognised communications specialist, Secretary Burris has consistently advanced initiatives that strengthen Tobago’s position on the global stage.
“Public safety is foundational to sustainable tourism and economic resilience.”
Rooted in Tobago — Built for the World
Born and raised on the island, Secretary Burris brings deep cultural roots and professional acumen to a singular mandate: safeguard Tobago’s people, visitors, and reputation. This initiative reflects that mandate — protecting what makes Tobago special while enabling it to thrive.
A Modern, State-Backed Safety Network
Safe Tobago enhances situational awareness, streamlines incident reporting, and accelerates coordinated response. With advanced geolocation, secure multimedia submissions, and real-time notifications, information flows seamlessly between citizens, visitors, and relevant agencies.
The platform complements the island’s tourism development strategy, reinforcing Tobago’s global appeal as a safe, well-managed destination.
Built with Excellence and Accessibility
A dedicated team of digital innovation specialists, attached to the Division of Tourism, engineered the platform under Secretary Burris’s mandate for technical excellence and accessibility. The result is a robust, secure, and user-friendly solution that meets operational needs and international standards.
Safe Tobago is a model for how targeted investment, visionary leadership, and specialised expertise can converge to strengthen national infrastructure and protect a country’s most valuable assets.
