Ins & Outs of Trinidad and Tobago
The Ins and Outs is widely distributed locally to visitors through hotel rooms, villas, guesthouses and restaurants. It reaches residents through select merchants, conferences, seminars and business organisations.

Ryan Williams Self-taught commercial and fine artist, Ryan Williams, grew up in Port of Spain, where he was exposed to the quaint old-world beauty of city architecture and the bustle and excitement of activity in the city’s major parks and playing fields. His media include pen and ink, oils, acrylics and watercolours, and he has experimented with different styles, including abstract, impressionism and expressionism. He has captured a wide range of subjects on canvas, such as landscapes, seascapes, sports, and everyday life and culture in T&T. He has participated in group exhibitions as well as a few solo exhibitions. Tel: (868) 622-3403 Tobago Cover Artist
