Perceptions of the Trinidad carnival experience from international travel bloggers

Holder, A.; Scott, N.

Abstract

This chapter presents a case study of the Trinidad and Tobago carnival experience and focuses on international travel bloggers' perceptions of the carnival. This study epitomizes a wide array of sensory and affective dimensions of the carnival experience. Of greater significance, the analysis of blogs and their authors' personal accounts revealed that this platform serves as a useful tool to appeal to one's senses and inner feelings, a characteristic that experience-based destination marketers may find valuable.
