01 The story

What is happening

LuxstayTobago is a boutique vacation rental marketing and management brand that showcases small Tobago properties through trusted hosting, guest proof, and locally powered promotion. The brand is led by Ruth Cumberbatch, an Airbnb Superhost and Vrbo Premier Host with more than 250 five-star reviews on Airbnb and 65 on Vrbo.

Rather than launching with paid advertising or influencer placements, LuxstayTobago is opening with a community-powered rollout: participants across Tobago and Trinidad share two posts per day for four days, each with their own tracked referral link, personal dashboard, and points that carry real value. A public leaderboard lets anyone follow the competition as it unfolds — with awards for the top two participants in Tobago and the top two in Trinidad.

LuxstayTobago Launches Four-Day Facebook Rollout to Showcase Tobago Stays and Trusted Local Hosting

Led by Airbnb Superhost and Vrbo Premier Host Ruth Cumberbatch, the launch combines guest proof, property storytelling, a public leaderboard, and referral participation.

SCARBOROUGH, TOBAGO — LuxstayTobago, a boutique vacation rental marketing and management brand, today announced a four-day Facebook launch introducing its collection of six Tobago properties, its guest review record, and a referral programme that allows local people to earn from promoting Tobago stays.

The rollout features two posts per day across four days, shared by a coordinated community of participants — each with a personal tracked link and dashboard — alongside a public leaderboard, a Tobago knowledge contest, and awards for the top participants in both Tobago and Trinidad. The campaign concludes with the official opening of the LuxstayTobago website.

“LuxstayTobago is about giving guests confidence before they book and care after they arrive,” said Ruth Cumberbatch, the brand’s founder and host.

Tobago has beautiful small properties, but they need to be presented, managed, and supported in a way that builds trust.”
