Building on these successes, the GTA is setting ambitious goals for 2025, focusing on further strengthening Grenada’s reputation as a premier Caribbean destination.

“This year has been nothing short of extraordinary for Grenada,” said CEO Petra Roach. “We’ve seen record visitor numbers, hosted prestigious events like the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Sustainable Tourism Conference, and significantly boosted our global visibility through awards and media coverage.”

Looking ahead, Roach emphasized that the goal for 2025 is to build on this momentum by expanding the island’s reach, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring every visitor who arrives on Grenada’s shores has a memorable experience.

In addition to hosting the prestigious Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Sustainable Tourism Conference, Grenada experienced a notable surge in visitor numbers in 2024, reaching new highs. This increase reflects the success of the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA)‘s strategic marketing efforts and the island’s growing reputation for its natural beauty, rich culture, and diverse offerings.

Chairman Randall Dolland emphasized the importance of collaboration among all tourism stakeholders in achieving these milestones, stating that the year’s success is a result of the collective efforts of everyone involved—“our hotel operators, tour guides, artisans, and the wider Grenadian community,” he said.

The GTA also reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable tourism, with initiatives focused on preserving the environment while supporting local communities. These efforts are in line with global trends and are expected to attract more eco-conscious travelers in the coming years, further enhancing Grenada’s appeal as a destination of choice.

As Grenada looks ahead to 2025, the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) extends warm holiday wishes to all Grenadians, visitors, and partners. “We are grateful for the successes of 2024 and excited for what lies ahead,” said CEO Petra Roach. “We’re ready to build on our achievements and make 2025 an even more prosperous year for Grenada’s tourism industry.” The GTA remains committed to enhancing the island’s reputation and fostering further growth in the years to come, ensuring that Grenada continues to shine as a leading Caribbean destination.
