The Grenada Hotel & Tourism Association (GHTA) was pleased to host the Minister for Tourism, Hon. Lennox Andrews, at a recent board meeting, where the focus was on fostering collaboration between public and private partners in Grenada’s tourism industry.
The GHTA and the Minister engaged in fruitful discussions on various topics to address concerns, challenges, and opportunities for further collaboration.
The GHTA appreciates the Minister’s interest in understanding the board members’ perspectives, as it underscores the importance of a strong partnership between the government and the private sector. This cooperative approach is essential for the continued growth and success of Grenada’s tourism industry.
The dialogue encompassed numerous subjects, such as the current state of the industry, enhancing public and private partnerships, promoting tourism sustainability, and much more. The meeting was a valuable platform for open communication and knowledge exchange, emphasising the commitment to working together in addressing the tourism sector’s needs.
The GHTA is committed to collaborating closely with the government and all industry stakeholders to develop a sustainable and thriving tourism sector that benefits everyone involved. We eagerly anticipate future partnerships and ongoing progress in Grenada’s tourism.

I appreciate the many initiatives of the Ministry of Tourism, but if no one else will say it, I will. I feel DEEPLY embarrassed every time I see Minister for Tourism, Hon. Lennox Andrews speaking to the media or taking a photo with HIS TIE THROWN OVER HIS SHOULDER. I have even seen this when he is at international meetings!!! Please, please, please can someone help him to overcome this habit? We’ve all been seeing it for so long that we don’t really notice anymore, but I can tell you that those on the global stage are noticing. Minister Andrews is highly intelligent, but his deportment (specifically the wearing of his tie) is a distraction to his message. He needs a tie pin and to intentionally be aware of this habit. Let’s help him by having someone close to him gently remind him before speaking to the public. I thank him for his continued work and hope he will humbly accept this encouragement to wear his tie as other professionals do.
