The Caribbean market is experiencing exponential growth, with Barbados consistently ranking as Grenada’s second-largest producer of visitors.

“Just 12 degrees north of the equator, Grenada and its two sister islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, offer many ways to experience chocolate. …The largest island of the three, Grenada is known as 'the spice island' due to its abundance of spice plants, especially nutmeg. But what also grows here is cacao, the raw, unprocessed version of cocoa. In 1964, the founding of the Grenada Cocoa Association meant all cocoa exports had to go through the association to be sold abroad.” - Carolyn Heslop

After hundreds of years of exporting Grenadaian cocoa to traditional chocolate-making countries, David Laurence Friedman (known better as Mott Green), a New Yorker who had been living on the island, founded a ground-breaking business in 1999. Together with Doug Browne and Edmond Brown, Mott founded the island's first chocolate-making company: The Grenada Chocolate Company. Mott helped cocoa farmers increase their income by using their own cocoa beans to make chocolate, rather than selling it to the Grenada Cocoa Association for a fixed price.

Time Magazine names Silversands Beach House one of the World’s Greatest Places 2024.

“The island's newest accommodations include 28-key Silversands Beach House, a boutique sister property to the sleek Silversands Resort Grand Anse on nearby Grand Anse Beach. Architect Khaled Morgan positioned the panoramic two-bedroom suite and most of the Beach House’s guest rooms atop a cliff overlooking secluded Portici Beach; several cascade down the slope and five suites sit beachfront near the infinity pool. Arced white canopies resembling the sails of feluccas on the Nile shade the private terraces, collect rainwater, and blend the Beach House's indoor and outdoor spaces.”- Johanna Read

As Grenada continue to celebrate its Golden Jubilee of Independence this year, there's no better time to visit!

Grenada is Open!

“Grenada is open and the flights started coming back the day after the storm. Ninety-eight percent of attractions are operational and all hotels are open.
Our sister islands like Carriacou and Petite Martinique didn’t fare so well as every house was either damaged or destroyed. It will take a good while for that to be rebuilt but we will rebuild guild stronger and remain resilient.”

“As a tourism entity Grenada Tourism Authority has identified the importance of the travel advisors and the significant contribution they make to the GDP towards the tourism sector. Travel advisors are identified as a core link in the distribution channel for Grenada as a tourist destination.

"Grenada is committed to promoting tourism to the African diaspora, which is a plus in my book. Grenadians are fiercely patriotic, proudly representing the Spice Isle.

Inspired and intrigued by their pride, I decided it was time to find out what makes this island special in their eyes."

Kaitlyn McNab, Teen Vogue’s Entertainment News Editor, received the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Caribbean Media Award in the category ‘Personal Immersive Story’ for her immersive feature; ‘Grenada’s Spicemas Revolutionalized the Way I Think About My Blackness and My Body.” The piece which was penned in August 2023, was borne out of the Spicemas Press Trip Experience that McNab was a part of, curated in collaboration with the Grenada Tourism Authority and Industry 360 Ltd. founded by Tenille Clarke of Chambers Media Solutions and Melissa Noel of Mel&N Media. McNab reflected on her transformative experience with mas playing and its impact on her connection to her West Indian heritage.

Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, congratulated Kaitlyn McNab, saying, “As a guest of the Grenada Tourism Authority and its esteemed partners, Kaitlyn’s story is a shining example of the lasting impact of Grenada’s Spicemas experience, and her brilliant storytelling mirrors what every Grenadian holds near and dear: that the Spice Isle is an outstanding crown jewel of the Caribbean that changes the lives of everyone who touches these shores for the better.”

The flag of Grenada holds deep symbolic meaning representing the nation's history and culture. The flag features three primary colors: red, yellow, and green. The red symbolizes the courage and determination of the people; yellow represents prosperity and the warmth of the sun; and green stands for Grenada's lush vegetation and fertile lands. The flag also displays seven yellow stars: six around the border representing Grenada's six administrative parishes, and the central star representing national unity. Additionally, the nutmeg symbol in the top left corner highlights Grenada’s status as one of the world's largest producers of nutmeg, symbolizing the country's agricultural wealth. The flag reflects the unity of the people and celebrates the nation’s rich agricultural heritage, especially its prominence in the global spice trade.
