Entertainment in the city!

The above photo shows a multi-million dollar cinema complex built in the urban city to accommodate the recreational needs of the people and tourists of urban area. Movie Towne is well known for its entertainment and complex shopping areas and has a major role to play in the lives of many who look forward to watching a movie, getting something to eat or shopping for an item.

This photo shows the many cars that are parked outside which indicates that it is something people in the city of Port of Spain do look forward to. This photo also depicts night life of the urban area when the tourists are looking for night time recreation and activities. Although this structure is not built near the Central Business District of the city, it still manages to attract people from not only the urban areas but people from the outskirts of Port of Spain and beyond.

Currently, we have reached the 'Creative Age'  where leisure and recreation is changing and people are now working in new ventures such as the creative industries (Florida 2002). Therefore, places such as these bring in economic value to a city as it caters for both foreigners and tourists. Located next to Movie towne is the Marriott Hotel and this itself indicates that Movie Towne caters for Marriott's guests contributing to the idea of Urban Tourism.
