The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) recently participated in Grenada’s Independence celebrations hosted by the Investment Migration Agency (IMA) Grenada, as part of a broader international engagement initiative aimed at strengthening connections with citizens and key emerging markets.
The programme, designed for individuals who acquired citizenship through Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme, attracted approximately 200 attendees and included a formal Independence Gala along with targeted engagement sessions with citizens and prospective applicants from markets across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
The GTA utilised the platform to position Grenada as a premier leisure destination among high-net-worth audiences, reinforcing the island’s appeal across luxury travel, wellness, eco-experiences and cultural tourism.
Stacey Liburd, Chief Executive Officer of the Grenada Tourism Authority, noted that strategic international engagements remain central to the Authority’s market diversification efforts. “Our participation in these Independence engagements allowed us to connect directly with globally mobile audiences who already have a meaningful relationship with Grenada. As we continue expanding into emerging markets, platforms such as this provide an opportunity to strengthen destination visibility while encouraging deeper, longer-term engagement with our islands.”
During the programme, the GTA delivered destination presentations highlighting Grenada’s tourism offerings, while the Grenada Investment Development Corporation (GIDC) outlined investment opportunities, and Ambassador Terrence Forrester presented on Homecoming Week initiatives.
Thomas Anthony, Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Migration Agency Grenada, described the Independence engagement as an important platform for strengthening long-term relationships with citizens. “Our Independence engagements provide a valuable opportunity to deepen connections with Grenadian citizens. Our collaboration with the Grenada Tourism Authority reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that citizenship extends beyond acquisition to meaningful engagement with the destination. We continue to see growing interest from new citizens in visiting Grenada, connecting with local communities and exploring additional avenues for investment.”
The Grenada Tourism Authority continues to prioritise strategic partnerships and international outreach initiatives that support sustainable tourism growth, market diversification and deeper global engagement.
