Grenada saw a significant boost in visitor numbers in the first half of 2024 despite the impact of Hurricane Beryl in July.
The Grenada Tourism Authority said that visitor arrivals for the first two quarters of the year increased by 20% compared to 2019, and 18% compared to 2023.
In July 2024 alone, the destination saw a 10% increase in visitors over 2019 and a 5% rise compared to 2023. The market has shown impressive resilience, quickly bouncing back to normal booking levels. Following the hurricane, tourism officials worked to reassure travellers that mainland Grenada remains open and ready to welcome visitors, despite the need for relief aid in some areas. These strategic efforts have been crucial in achieving the impressive visitor arrival numbers.
“We are thrilled to see such positive growth in our visitor arrivals during this period, which speaks volumes about Grenada’s enduring appeal and the hard work of our tourism stakeholders,” said Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority. “Our strategic efforts to maintain and grow our market share have been multifaceted.”
