Trinbago Team Guide

Packing Lists and Advice

It is important to take with you all the things that you will need for the Games but there is a limit to the amount of baggage that you are able to take. With that in mind here are three things to remember:

Keep luggage to a minimum and do not bring any valuables

Make sure that all baggage is clearly labelled and easily identifiable

Your luggage is your responsibility – at all times  

Team members will be responsible for transporting all of their own baggage to the airport and into the hotel when we arrive in Trinidad and Tobago. Please make sure you have all the leisure wear items that you were supplied at Team Camp and any other essentials you will need. A suggested packing list is below.

Banned Items

Be aware that it is an offence to bring certain items into Trinidad or Tobago, some of which may surprise you.

Please make sure you do not have any of the following with you:

  • Meat, provisions, fruits and vegetables
  • Camouflage items in any colours – the penalty involves a fine and the items will be confiscated
  • Indecent or obscene prints, paintings, photographs, books, cards, or any other indecent or obscene articles
  • Any article which bears a design in the imitation of any currency or bank note or coin in current use in Trinidad and Tobago or elsewhere
  • Firearms or fireworks
