Grenadian residents are being encouraged to be tourists in their own country and go out and explore their three-island destination as part of efforts to boost local tourism. The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) launched its local campaign #ParadiseAtHome on Thursday June 24 featuring exciting offers from local hotels, guesthouses,\u00a0 apartments and villas.<\/p>\n
While the world is still reeling from the effects of the spread of COVID-19 and borders remain closed for the moment, many islands are looking within to enhance the Tourism sector, which plays a critical role in the local economy through job creation and revenue generation.\u00a0 As part of the campaign, the diverse offers include: room discounts, complimentary massages and yoga sessions, complimentary wine and free room nights.<\/p>\n
Chief Executive Officer of the GTA, Patricia Maher, says local Tourism has always been an important pillar to the organization\u2019s goals.\u00a0 She said, \u201c The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with a unique opportunity to explore our islands intimately while enjoying world class services in a safe environment. I particularly want to encourage those persons on the mainland to visit Carriacou and Petite Martinique\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking of the components of the campaign, GTA Communications Manager, Kimron Corion, debuted the campaign video which featured a full local cast. He said, \u201cOur campaign, #ParadiseAtHome will be marketed locally through a mixture of traditional media and digital platforms to maximize its reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acting Marketing Manager, Renee Goodwin, thanked the stakeholders who offered their campaign deals. She said, \u201cWe are thankful for your partnership and commitment in these unprecedented times and we are sure that you will create memorable experiences for your local guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr.Clarice Modeste-Curwen was present at the launch and she said, \u201cParadise at home presents us with an excellent opportunity to ensure our health and safety protocols are in place for the protection of our citizens and visitors while delivering the highest levels of customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n
