PROJECT AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT UNIT

The Project and Facilities Management Unit (PFMU) of the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism (MTTI) plays a pivotal role in the development and enhancement of tourism infrastructure and facilities within Trinidad. Its primary purpose is to oversee and manage projects, maintenance and operations related to tourism development, with the aim of expanding the tourism industry. The PFMU provides oversight to eleven (11) main sites and attractions:

1. Maracas Beach Facility
2. Las Cuevas Beach Facility
3. Manzanilla Beach Facility
4. Vessigny Beach Facility
5. La Vigie Paramin Lookout
6. Fort George
7. River Estate Waterwheel and Museum
8. Fort Picton
9. Lopinot Historical Complex
10. Galera Point Lighthouse Facility
11. La Brea Pitch Lake Facility

Subsequently, the PFMU is also responsible for the development of the tourism sector which relates to the maintenance, management and control of the aforementioned sites. Thus, any event or activity which surrounds the use of the facility must be guided by the Ministry’s rental policy and guidelines for each facility and the rental rates for tourism facility.
