The Honourable Clarice Modeste-Curwen, Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Climate Resilience and the Environment is pleased to announce the resumption of the Air Canada direct service from Toronto to Grenada. The nonstop service, which will commence on October 30, will be twice weekly on Sundays and Thursdays, connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND).<\/p>\n
Minister Modeste-Curwen stated, \u201cThe return of Air Canada is welcome news at a time when accessibility and travel convenience are key to attracting international visitors. Canadian arrival numbers have remained strong in spite of the absence of direct service so we know that the demand is there. We are committed to working alongside our airline partners to ensure continuous connectivity to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe news on the service to Grenada is welcome as the destination is pacing ahead of 2019 numbers and group business is up 37%,\u201d stated Diana Rodriguez, Product Director, Air Canada Vacations.<\/p>\n
Air Canada\u2019s service resumption comes on the heels of a Canadian market visit by GTA\u2019s CEO, Petra Roach who met with industry stakeholders to share developmental plans for the growth of the market and to agree on collaborative initiatives to drive business for the winter season. The CEO remarked, \u201cCanada is recognized as one of the most important tourist generating markets in the world with 41% of Canadians choosing beach destinations. To that end, Grenada continues to be a firm favorite amongst Canadian travelers with a typical stay of up to 10 days on island. This market has continued to grow over the years and delivers a great return on investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minister Modeste-Curwen continued, \u201cThe research from the GTA shows that Canadian visitors love the authentic experience that Grenada offers. This direct connection will ultimately lead to a further increase in the number of Canadians visiting our shores.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
