By Matt Roper for MailOnline. Authorities in the Trinidad and Tobago has vowed to shut down a controversial 'sex festival' which is due to take place on a private island in the Caribbean on Friday.
The local government has not only sworn to close down the event, but have also warned that ticketholders could find themselves deported as soon as they arrive at Piarco International Aiport on Trinidad.
Trinidad and Tobago's police commissioner said officers were being 'extra vigilant' and promised to 'act swiftly' as soon as they pinpoint the location of the event, which runs until Monday. Last year, the first Sex Island vacation, which was planned to take place on a private island off Cartagena, Colombia, also sparked anger and was blocked by the South American country's government. Tour company Good Girls Company moved the event to a 'mystery island' in an undisclosed Caribbean country they claimed was drugs and prostitution-friendly after Colombian officials threatened to deport the sex tourists and arrest the organisers.
But after news emerged this year's Sex Island holiday was to take place on an island off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago - where both prostitution and drug-use is illegal. Trinidad and Tobago's national security minister Stuart Young has vowed to shut down the festival. His father, pictured with him, seemingly approves. Bye, bye: Festival-goers could find themselves deported as soon as they arrive in Trinidad and Tobago, where prostitution is illegal. The organisers of the private- island, unlimited-sex event claim 'all the girls are here to please you and make you feel like a king'.
In a statement, he said: 'I have seen the reports of a suggestion that there is to be some event taking place at an island off of the North of Trinidad, carded as a 'Sex Island Party'. I have asked law enforcement and Immigration to monitor this and to make it known that such an event and the suggested illegal actions to take place will NOT be tolerated by Trinidad and Tobago.
