The tournament concluded with Guyana\u2019s North Soesdyke claiming the championship title, and Trinidad\u2019s Munroe Road Masters finishing as runners-up, in what proved to be a spirited celebration of Caribbean cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Pure Grenada Masters Cricket Tournament is a shining example of how sports tourism can fuel our local economy and showcase our island\u2019s hospitality,\u201d noted Stacey Liburd, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority. \u201cBy blending competition with strategic partnerships, we are creating meaningful experiences that benefit our service sectors and keep Grenada\u2019s tourism momentum strong throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the competition, the tournament served as a significant economic catalyst for the island. The influx of visiting participants drove substantial activity across the local economy, fueling growth in the hospitality, dining, and other tourism sectors. To further amplify the reach, a consumer pop-up was held on the final day, bringing local brands and businesses face-to-face with tournament guests in a vibrant marketplace setting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"nowgd-5a0484fff88a1b2676c79a217cfa9f36\" class=\"nowgd-5a0484fff88a1b2676c79a217cfa9f36 nowgd-ap-m-300x300-monthly\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to deploy our 2026 strategy, we remain fully committed to positioning Grenada as a sports tourism destination,\u201d said Tornia Charles, Chief Marketing Officer at the GTA. \u201cOur aim of achieving this goal goes beyond just hosting; we intend to create a lasting impact for all Grenadians who benefit from visitors coming to our shores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the GTA sees strong potential to build Masters Cricket into an annual fixture, expanding team participation, growing spectator engagement, and deepening the integration of cultural experiences and local business activations. Voluntourism, fan packages, and increased sponsorship opportunities are all on the horizon as Grenada works to firmly establish itself as a destination of choice for regional and international sporting events.<\/p>\n<p><em>GTA<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) is pleased to announce the successful hosting of the Pure Grenada Masters Cricket Tournament.
