<description lang=en>The Caribbean has always been viewed as a tourist attraction for pleasure seeking individuals. Over several years, there has been evolved a rather intimate and interactive relationship between visitors and their hosts. The culmination of which is the rather romantic fascination of tourists toward locals in many Caribbean destinations. This is not a new phenomenon, as this pattern is one that evolved at the advent of tourism in the region. Economic and social factors are some of the competing contributors to this phenomenon.It would appear that with the increased influx of tourists in Caribbean destinations, that an astronomical increase in the reported cases of HIV/AIDS and other sexually related transmitted diseases are also witnessed. Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) is amongst the worst exposed in the Caribbean outside of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Latest reports by the UNAIDS indicates that the number of reported cases in T&T has reached unprecedented levels (over 20,000 in 2009) and continues to increase. This study looks critically at the extent to which tourism and other related leisure activities including carnival, and the cultural diffusion it brings may be contributing to this epidemic. It is also hoped that this study will try to articulate possible suggestions to contain what is increasingly leading to a myriad of cultural, social and economic challenges for the country.</description>
<description lang=fr>Les Caraïbes ont toujours exercé un attrait touristique sur les personnes en quête de plaisir. Depuis plusieurs années, il a été développé une relation plutôt intime et interactif entre les visiteurs et leurs hôtes dont le point culminant est la fascination plutôt romantique des touristes envers de nombreuses destinations dans les Caraïbes. Il ne s’agit pas d’un phénomène nouveau, ce phénomène repose sur des facteurs économiques et sociaux concurrents. Il convient de s’interroger sur les relations entre que l'afflux croissant de touristes dans ces destinations caribéennes et l'augmentation considérable des cas de VIH/sida et autres maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Trinité-et-Tobago (T & T) est l'une des destinations les plus exposées au sein de la Caraïbe. Les derniers rapports de l'ONUSIDA indiquent que le nombre de cas signalés de T & T a atteint des niveaux sans précédent (plus de 20.000 en 2009) et continue d'augmenter. Cette étude porte un regard critique sur les corrélations établies entre le tourisme et les autres activités de loisirs connexes, comme le carnaval, et la diffusion culturelle pourrait contribuer à cette épidémie. Cette étude vise à articuler des suggestions possibles pour répondre à la myriade de défis culturels, sociaux et économiques) à laquelle est exposé le pays.</description>
