GATT:
The Gamers Association of Trinidad & Tobago was formed by a group of avid gamers with the purpose of glorifying electronic entertainment on the twin island of Trinidad & Tobago and by extension the Caribbean.
GATT prides itself in leading the Digital Entertainment Culture in the region and has worked at establishing several Gaming Locations (GLs). These provide facilities for the gaming public to participate in electronic sport and other related activities.
