Grenada: The Grenada Tourism Authority, in collaboration with the Grenada Ports Authority and private sector partner George F. Huggins and Co Ltd, attended the inaugural CPAA Cruise Professionals Advisors Alliance itinerary planners event and the 2024 Seatrade Cruise Global Conference and Trade Show at the Broward County Convention Center from March 26 to 30, 2023.
Whilst here they met with ten (10) cruise lines and this engagement is critical to ensure that they maintain visibility with the cruise lines and to assist with planning cruise itineraries into Grenada and Carriacou. The brands they held meetings with were; Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Silversea, American Queen Voyages, Princess Cruises, Oceania, Regent, Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection, Windstar Cruises, and Viking Cruises.
There was attendance of approximately 7k people at these maritime marketing and business development events, and the Grenada Booth proved quite popular.
