This growth underscores Grenada’s rising status as a premier travel destination despite recent challenges.
In July 2024 alone, visitor arrivals rose by 10% compared to 2019 and by 5% compared to 2023.

While some northern areas required relief, mainland Grenada remained open to tourists. These strategic initiatives have played a crucial role in achieving the notable increase in visitor numbers.
“We are ecstatic to report such positive growth in visitor arrivals, which reflects Grenada’s lasting allure and the diligent work of our tourism sector,” said the CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority. “Our comprehensive strategies to enhance and maintain our market presence have included direct engagements with key travel and airline partners, as well as media outreach,” she explained.
