Within recent years, the Grenada Board of Tourism has been placing major emphasis on the utilization of its destination website as a key component of its marketing strategy. Recognition of its success in this regard has now emerged through the announcement last Saturday January 21, 2012, that this official destination website (www.grenadagrenadines.com) was given the prestigious Caribbean Web Award for Best Tourist Board website. This major award was announced on the eve of the 2012 Caribbean Marketplace Event at Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas, where tourism practitioners and stakeholders had gathered for their annual conference. Grenada was selected based on its website’s use of modern technology, its user friendliness and the degree to which it highlighted the destination’s selling points. Other nominees in that category included the Nassau, Bahamas, Aruba and the US Virgin Islands. Presenting the award to Grenada was Mr. Graham McKenzie of Travelmole, who thanked sponsors such as the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association, the Lead Generators and Nassau, Paradise Island’s Tourist Board. “Considering that we recently launched a new booking engine, I think that this is a double victory for the Board,” said Orlando Romain, E-Marketing Officer at the Grenada Board of Tourism. “This award is not only timely, but it indicates that we are heading in the right direction as we are about to conduct additional enhancements to the site.” Other organizations that were awarded at the ceremony include Comfort Suites, Virgin Atlantic Airlines, Luxury Villa Rentals of McLaughlin Anderson, the Retreat at Lookout and UK Tour Operator I Explore.
