Grenada Announces Hurricane Recovery Improvements

October 2005 -- Following a devastating blow by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the Caribbean island of Grenada has been busy working to reopen hotels and attractions, adding enhancements to much of the tourist product at the same time. The "Spice Island of the Caribbean" is looking forward to greeting visitors this year as the high season fast approaches.          

According to the Grenada Board of Tourism, several attractions are receiving enhancements including:

  • the Grand Etang National Park's Welcome Center. Planned for completion by the end of October.
  • Belmont Estate
  • Leapers Hill. Planned for completion by December 15 with a gazebo and interpretation center; a third phase will include the construction of vendors' booths, a bridge, and footpath.
  • Fort Frederick:

New Tourist Offering

A new addition to the island's tourism offerings is adventure river tubing. Tourism Services Limited, a company specializing in Grenada adventure jeep and mountain biking, is now offering adventure tubing tours at the Balthazar River. The 60-90 minute tour package is $45 per person and includes equipment, safety briefing and refreshment. 

Accommodations Reopening

Presently 1,087 guest rooms are available for occupancy, approximately 68% of the room stock on the island. By the end of 2005, 90% of the pre-Hurricane Ivan room stock will be functional.

  • What's Open? Recent months have seen the reopening of the renovated Blue Horizons Garden Resort and the Grenadian by Rex Resorts. The new Ki Ki Apartments, offering 17 apartments, also debuted recently near True Blue Bay.
  • What's Opening? Among those that will commence operations are the newly upgraded 80-room Coyaba Beach Resort and the 64-room Spice Island Beach Resort.

Cruise Port

Grenada's cruise product is also being improved with the second phase of the new cruise ship port and terminal project that's nearing completion. The multi-million dollar facility will include duty-free shopping facilities and other commercial retail outlets.

National Stadium

Grenada is also making preparations to host matches during the Cricket World Cup in 2007. The reconstruction of the National Stadium begins in October.

Special Events:

Grenada and Carriacou will host two wonderful special events in the months to come including the Cricket Classics, scheduled for October 13 - 18 at Progress Park in St. Andrew, and the Carriacou Parang Festival, planned for December 16 - 18.
