River Antoine Rum Distillery
No other distillery in the entire Caribbean has been in operation as long as River Antoine, and very few have so carefully maintained traditional methods of rum preparation.

GRENADA BOARD OF TOURISM TRAINS BEACH CLEANERS AND TASK FORCE
August 17, 2010
Dateline St. George’s: Members of the Grand Anse Beach Task Force and those charged with the cleaning of the Grand Anse and Morne Rouge beaches are now more informed about key aspects of Grenada’s tourism industry. A recently convened training programme by the Grenada Board of Tourism at the Conference Room of the Flamboyant Hotel was tailored to increase their level of understanding of the workings of the industry and the important role that they play in providing positive experiences to all beach users.
Among the presentations that served in that regard was ‘Understanding Tourism and its importance to Grenada’ where participants were apprised of the linkages that tourism perpetuates within the economy and the multiplying effects that are associated with its impact. They were also given clearer perspectives about their roles within the bigger framework of improving the visitor experiences in Grenada. ‘Teamwork – Value of working as a team in general and in tourism in particular’ was also a very timely topic for all.
At the conclusion of the one-day seminar, participants were informed of plans to have another training programme during the first two weeks of September 2010 where, unlike the just concluded one, the terms of reference will be of such that each group will be focused on at a different time.
The current training emphasis of the Grenada Board of Tourism is in keeping with the approaching cruise-ship season and the need to improve the quality of services and experiences that visitors receive whilst in the destination. It is part of the overall challenge to make Grenada more welcoming and amenable at a time when potential visitors are increasingly selective about their choices of destinations.
