The Lopinot Tourism Association Ltd. was honored with the Entrepreneurial Excellence Award by the Tunapuna / Piarco Regional Corporation for its outstanding contributions to tourism and the successful management of the Lopinot Chocolate Company at the Civic Awards and Gala reception held on November 20th, 2024. Our chocolate tours have made Lopinot a global chocolate destination, with cocoa products reaching as far as Japan, Norway, China, and beyond!
But that’s not all — it was a double win as the legendary Mr. Martin Gomez, former Supervisor of the Lopinot historical site, was recognized with the Cultural Visionary Award! As a beloved figure, he has shared the rich history of Lopinot and its folklore, including tales of Count de Lopinot, enslaved peoples, and the famous Martin Gomez Cave.
