Digital Strategist Hails Trinidad & Tobago As The Next Hotspot For Digital Nomads

Digital Strategist Hails Trinidad & Tobago As The Next Hotspot For Digital Nomads

Sharing is caring!

Six Caribbean nations are engaged in a race to lure digital nomads by rolling out enticing visa programs. 

With the region’s sun-kissed beaches and laid-back lifestyle, it’s no surprise that a digital strategist has identified one of these islands as the next potential hotspot for remote workers.

Of course, we are talking about Keron Rose, a Digipreneur who hosts the #1 digital business podcast in the Caribbean and works with businesses to build their digital presence.

Eleven years ago, Rose traded the harsh Canadian winters for the warm tropical climate of Trinidad and Tobago, and he hasn’t looked back since. 

On the contrary, he’s urging the government to seize this opportunity and ride the wave of the digital nomad boom, or risk falling behind in the regional competition to attract high-spending professionals to the territory.

Rose acknowledges that Tobago currently lacks a series of amenities commonly associated with digital nomads, such as coworking spaces and co-living accommodations.

However, he emphasizes that the island already has key infrastructure in place—like reliable internet, lots of new resort developments, as well as a lower cost of living compared to nearby nations.

Rose also highlights that while the country has focused heavily on hotel development to boost the economy, this has strained natural resources, according to local reports. Attracting remote workers, he argues, is a simpler, more sustainable way to bring wealth into the nation.

This affirmation is backed by three key facts, Rose explains. 

Countries that have already implemented digital nomad visas and enhanced infrastructure have seen their GDP positively impacted by millions of dollars annually. 

There’s no risk of local job appropriation since this demographic works with international clients, and finally, their presence drives the creation of businesses catering to their particular needs.

To make Rose’s vision a reality, Trinidad and Tobago should first create a digital nomad visa scheme. Offering tax incentives or exemptions and investing in new fiber-optic networks will be crucial to attracting this new growing workforce.

Can Trinidad and Tobago Really Become the Next Digital Nomad Hotspot in the Caribbean?

We believe so. Both islands offer a unique fusion of serenity and adventure. Digital nomads can picture themselves starting their workday with a locally brewed coffee and wrapping it up with stunning sunsets over unspoiled coastlines.

This country isn’t just another tropical getaway—it has the potential to become a thriving hub for those seeking both peace and inspiration.

Other Caribbean Nations Offering Digitial Nomad Visa Programs
