Britons have been hit with a travel warning for the Caribbean, as Trinidad and Tobago has introduced a new law that could affect LGBT+ travellers.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) highlighted that consensual same-sex activity between men has been criminalised, with offenders now facing "up to five years imprisonment".
The legislation came into effect this month, marking a significant shift in the Caribbean nation's legal stance on homosexuality.
The FCDO has updated its travel advice for British citizens in response to the new law.

The new legislation also makes it illegal for LGBT+ foreign nationals to enter Trinidad and Tobago.
However, the FCDO noted that "in practice this has not been enforced" since the law was implemented.
British travellers have been advised that "LGBT+ visitors could receive negative attention if they show affection in public" in Trinidad and Tobago.
LGBT+ travellers are advised to exercise particular caution regarding public behaviour during visits to the country.
Previously, members of the LGBT+ community were subject to robberies in Trinidad and Tobago, with the FCDO issuing a specific warning about dating app safety.
In another travel warning affecting LGBT+ travellers, Britons were told they could be hit with a £415 fine for attending "unsanctioned" events in Hungary.
This comes as the European destination passed new legislation that could potentially ban Pride marches in the country.
The law, approved on March 19, would allow authorities to use facial recognition technology to identify participants in unsanctioned marches.

This controversial measure has raised concerns among LGBT+ rights advocates and international observers.
Under the new legislation, participants caught attending unpermitted Pride events could face financial penalties.
The FCDO has confirmed that fines could reach up to 200,000 Hungarian Forints (around £415) for those identified.
In more advice to LGBT+ travellers, the FCDO stated: "Same-sex sexual activity is legal in Hungary. Same-sex couples can enter civil partnerships, but same-sex marriages are not legally recognised."
