About Tobago
Tobago is an island country in the Southern Caribbean. It is the second largest island forming Trinidad and Tobago. The island consists of 7 regions, all of which have saint names and is home to a population of around 60 thousand people. Scarborough is the capital city of Tobago. Throughout its history, Tobago has changed hands 33 times among European countries, including Latvia. Because of this, the island is still home to many European origins of Latvia, Poland, Britain and France and is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Tobago is a coral island and is surrounded by hundreds of coral reefs and therefore is important for the diving and fishing tourism.
