We are proposing that a public holiday be recognized on the day after Divali in Trinidad and Tobago.
The extra day would provide a much-needed opportunity for people to rest, relax, and recharge after the festivities. This is particularly relevant to Divali, which of celebrated late into the night.
Divali is a major festival celebrated with great enthusiasm in Trinidad and Tobago. An extra day would allow for more extensive celebrations, including family gatherings, community events, and cultural activities.
By adding a holiday after Divali, Trinidad and Tobago could further enhance the celebration of this important cultural event and provide a positive impact on the nation.
An additional holiday would also stimulate the economy. People would have more time to shop, dine out, and engage in leisure activities, benefiting businesses and generating revenue.
It is labour intensive, plus those of us who have pets we are up all night with them
