Tourism is a vital pillar of Grenada’s economy, ranking alongside agriculture as one of the country's most important sectors.1
To support and expand this industry, the government has actively encouraged tourism development through several strategic initiatives:
- Infrastructure Improvements: The government has invested in upgrading air transport facilities to improve accessibility for visitors.2
- Maritime Access: The island’s harbour is frequently visited by numerous cruise ships, serving as a key entry point for tourists.2
- Development of Facilities: Across the islands, including the dependency of Carriacou, the development of resorts, hotels, and yachting marinas has helped accommodate the influx of travelers.3
By fostering these services, the government aims to maintain tourism as a major factor in the nation's economic stability and employment.2
