I have known Christine Engen for over five years. I met her at a trade fair in Stockholm while she was representing Tahiti Tourism and was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the job performed and her professionalism and friendly approach.
I knew immediately she would make an excellent addition to our team as we sought to position Trinidad and Tobago as a preferred Caribbean destination in a very saturated and challenging marketplace. Christine, very quickly made an impact, by strengthening our existing trade relations and opening doors to her very wide database of contacts. She also introduced new airlift.

Within 12 months, Tobago experienced an increase of 23% of visitor numbers out of her markets rising to 45% in year two. The Scandinavian market has continued to perform despite current challenges. It has been Christine’s single handed passion and determination that has allowed The Islands of Trinidad and Tobago to be the #1 choice for Scandinavians seeking a Caribbean vacation.

Marketing, Media & Communications is her forte. She was able to conduct a number of excellent campaigns that were creative and fun allowing us to build loyalty with our trade partners. She is an excellent negotiator. If you are looking to increase your awareness and sales and ultimately improving your bottom line, work with Christine and you will not be disappointed.

It has been a pleasure getting the opportunity to work with her.
