The Grenada Board of Tourism has launched a ten-day survey to better understand some of the issues, needs, practices, and concerns regarding tourism activities on Grand Anse Beach. It will examine visitor arrivals by land and water-based taxis, and monitor the flow of visitors to the Grand Anse Spice & Craft Market. It will also evaluate the available facilities for rental of chairs on the beach.
A cadre of researchers has been trained to strategically implement an observation-type approach to measure and calculate these activities in a manner that would not be obtrusive to visitors and users.
Esther Thomas, Head of Research and Planning at the GBT says “We are aware that since the Grand Anse Beach is the nucleus of Grenada’s Tourism industry we have a responsibility to ensure that the services on offer are at levels that would meet the expectations of users. This survey will eventually allow us to better appreciate what happens on the beach and position us to improve on the visitors’ experiences”.
The Grenada Board of Tourism appreciates the cooperation of the general public in ensuring that this data collection phase of the survey runs smoothly.
