The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) and Royalton Grenada welcomed New York City travel advisors to a private dinner at the Kimberly Hotel’s Empire Steakhouse. As part of its ongoing recovery efforts, the GTA continued its strategy of moving from Zoom to in-person meetings with advisors to reconnect and share destination developments.
“We’re really excited about where Grenada is heading and we’re spreading the news with our cherished travel advisors,” said Christine Noel-Horsford, director of sales, USA, GTA. “Grenada is seeing an increase in arrivals and air partners are pleased with their loads and we are also looking forward to healthy numbers for July/August with our upcoming Carriacou Regatta and the return of Spicemas this year. This event, along with others we have planned, are geared to share the good news and our team is working closely with the travel trade to ensure that they have the knowledge and tools to sell the destination with confidence.”
Petra Roach, CEO of GTA, kicked off the evening’s festivities thanking travel advisors and members of the media for attending and assuring them Grenada is open for business and ready to welcome their clients. She said, “With more people getting back to travel, Grenada has been busy ensuring its tourism product is equipped to deliver unforgettable memories. The destination rescinded its COVID entry requirements back in April, Spicemas is back and you can expect more festivals and events in the future.”
The GTA’s Christine Noel-Horsford and Zachary Samuel shared destination updates, including flights added for Spicemas by Caribbean Airlines; Jet Blue’s continued daily service from JFK; American Airlines’ daily service from Miami and once per week service from Charlotte; and the “Grenada Travel Expert Program.”
