Port of Spain, Trinidad – Tebet Tours Ltd announced on September 1, 2025, the launch of “Tebet On Wheels,” a groundbreaking mobile service designed to support the wheelchair community with comprehensive daily living assistance alongside accessible tourism experiences.
Tebet Tours Ltd is a member of the Trinidad and Tobago Incoming Tour Operators Association. The innovative service represents a significant expansion beyond traditional tourism offerings, addressing the holistic needs of persons with mobility challenges through medical appointment assistance, shopping support, household chores, and carefully curated accessible cultural experiences.
Led by Marcus Baptiste MA, BA, CFM, whose extensive knowledge of Trinidad and Tobago’s culture has earned international recognition, Tebet On Wheels aims to augment existing wheelchair accessible services while providing comprehensive support specifically for persons in the east of the island.
“We recognized that accessibility needs extend far beyond recreational tourism,” explains Baptiste. “While there are quality wheelchair accessible tour services available, we saw an opportunity to provide comprehensive daily living support that enables true independence for the wheelchair community, especially for persons in the eastern part of the island. Whether someone needs to attend a medical appointment, complete grocery shopping, or experience Trinidad’s rich cultural heritage, we want to be their reliable mobility companion.”
The service scope encompasses medical facility transportation for doctor visits, hospital appointments, and pharmacy runs, ensuring persons with disabilities can maintain their health independently. Shopping assistance includes grocery runs, retail visits, and errand completion, while accessible tourism experiences feature cultural immersion tours, culinary adventures, and visits to wheelchair-accessible heritage sites.
Wheelchair user Myana Inniss, who recently experienced Tebet On Wheels’ service during a trip to Paramin, enthusiastically endorses the comprehensive approach. “People should not leave their loved ones at home but take them along now with such a service,” Inniss stated, highlighting how the accessible transportation opens previously difficult destinations to the wheelchair community.
The company’s established reputation in cultural tourism, demonstrated through over 1,300 social media followers and consistently excellent customer reviews, provides the foundation for expanding into accessibility services. Tebet Tours has built trust through punctual, knowledgeable, and culturally authentic experiences, qualities that translate directly to supporting the wheelchair community’s diverse needs.
The company meets all professional standards for tour operators with proper registration, public liability insurance, and adherence to ethical service guidelines. Tebet Tours Ltd enhances these requirements with specialized accessibility training and comprehensive insurance coverage for medical transport services.
The launch timing reflects growing awareness of accessibility as both a human rights issue and an economic opportunity. Trinidad and Tobago’s tourism industry increasingly recognizes that inclusive services benefit not only persons with disabilities but also enhance the destination’s reputation for welcoming all visitors.
Tebet On Wheels plans to employ certified tour guides specifically trained in disability awareness and assistance, creating employment opportunities while ensuring professional service delivery. The company intends to establish partnerships with medical facilities, shopping centers, and community organizations to develop preferred provider networks that streamline access for wheelchair users.
The wheelchair community can access Tebet On Wheels services through social media channels @tebettours, or via WhatsApp on 868-46-TEBET (83238) or email onwheels@tebettours.com
As Trinidad and Tobago’s tourism industry continues to evolve, Tebet On Wheels exemplifies how established tourism operators can expand their mission to serve underrepresented communities while maintaining the professional excellence and cultural authenticity that define the country’s hospitality industry.
