Grenada, island country of the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea, the southernmost of the Windwards Islands, highlighted by pristine, tropical beaches, numerous nutmeg plantations, Georgian buildings and colourful houses through GTA, the Grenada Tourism Authority, reported 26 consecutive months of positive growth in tourism since September 2022.
This brilliant achievement underscores the Caribbean island's resilience, strategic vision and unwavering commitment to positioning Carriacou, Grenada and Petite Martinique, the three main lands as a premier destination for visitors from around the world.
The relevant momentum began in September 2022, when Grenada received major, prestigious accolades, including USA Today Awards for Paradise Beach in Carriacou and Grand Anse Beach elevating itself as a top destination in the region.
The recognition set the stage for the following year, with a 2023 defined by Grenada's strategic focus on sustainable tourism, strong partnerships and improved air connectivity, which resulted in a 30% increase in arrivals during the first quarter and already in December 2023, the Caribbean country reached a historic milestone by surpassing 20.000 visitor arrivals in a single month for the first time in history.
Growth continued in 2024, with a very relevant 17% year - on - year increase in visitor numbers, highlighting the island's sustained momentum.
A further highlight was February 2024 with 19.608, arrivals, a notable increase of 31.7% compared to February 2023, driven by celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Grenada's independence, which attracted travellers from major source markets.
In addition to the increase in arrivals, Grenada also saw growth in visitor spending and a total length of stays, which further boosted the economic benefits of tourism.
Alongside these more than brilliant achievements Grenada hosted the Caribbean Tourism Organization's Sustainable Tourism Conference, which has record attendance and reinforced the island's leadership in sustainable tourism.
The President of the Grenada Tourism Authority, Randall Dolland, said that the road that has led Grenada to 26 months of continuous growth has been driven by a clear vision and exceptional teamwork , with the country ability to attract and retain visitors which represents a direct reflection of the dedication of Grenada's shareholders, the richness of the local culture, and the enduring appeal of the country natural beauty, an achievement inspiring to achieve even greater goals.
