The Trinidad & Tobago Exhibition is approximately 320 sq.m and is located at the immediate right of the main entrance to the CARICOM Pavilion. Featuring a series of curves, the modern, stylish booth in shades of grey, white and red with hints of black is laid out in the form of a pan, Trinidad's national instrument, basically a large open central area with smaller semi-enclosed spaces radiating outward. The six main “pillars” or partitions contain information on Trinidad and Tobago's growing urban centres.
There are three circular illuminated cut-outs in the floor with graphic imagery and photos depicting Innovative People, Investment Opportunities, Island Paradise. The most striking features of the exhibition space are five sweeping curved walls or “pillars”, which contain information on the major urban centers of the nation – Port of Spain, Arima/Sangre Grande, Chaguanas, Scarborough and San Fernando - and these speak to the overall Expo 2010 theme ‘Better City, Better Life’.
