Throughout the week, One Caribbean Television will profile select restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area, and offer their patrons a chance to win a trip for two to a carnival in the Caribbean in 2020.

The network is excited to promote the stories of some of Toronto’s most popular Caribbean restaurants with viewers in Canada, “One out of every six tourists that visit Canada come from the Caribbean, so Caribbean Restaurant Week will be a welcome reminder to current visitors, and a novel way to introduce the region to prospective travelers,” noted Nancy Drolet, Business Development Representative for Canada at the Caribbean Tourism Organization.
