The Grenada Tourism Authority has reported that the island has recorded a third successive month of increased tourist arrivals.

The tourism authority reported 14,232 tourists visited the island in November, which represents a 17 percent increase over 2019 figures. 

Tourist arrivals were boosted by the island hosting a number of major conferences including the CXC Annual Ministerial Summit, the Caribbean Society of Endoscopic Surgeons, and the AGM of the Caribbean Chambers of Commerce.

International flights from Air Canada, Sunwing Airlines, and Condor Airlines, along with British Airways expanding their flight schedule from London’s Gatwick airport allowed travelers to have more options to visit Grenada.

The USA market has shown the strongest rebound and represents 61 percent of overall visitation. 

Grenada’s Tourism Authority added that this month is also projected to surpass the previous high of December 2019.
