Grenada to make strong bid for increased cruise ship calls
Published on October 3, 2012 Email To Friend    Print Version

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada -- Grenada is expected to make a strong bid for increased cruise bookings at the annual cruise conference and trade show underway in Curacao.

Tourism Minister Dr George Vincent, representing Grenada at the conference, said negotiations for new cruise lines and investment opportunities for the tourism sector will be his main focus.

“We have had severe competition from other destinations with the geographical advantage… however I have no doubt that we can hold our own as a destination of choice and we will continue to make a case for ourselves,” the tourism minister said ahead of the Curacao conference.

Grenada is also expected to market itself at the annual Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) State of the Industry Conference scheduled for St Kitts from October 10 to 12 2012.

Tourism practitioners and policy makers gather at the annual CTO conference to discuss issues, identify solutions and develop course action that will benefit the tourism industry in their respective territories and the wider Caribbean as a whole.
