The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) has announced exciting news for travelers heading to the Caribbean: Air Canada is set to enhance its seasonal service from Toronto to the captivating island of Grenada. Beginning June 2, 2025, a new Monday flight will join the existing Sunday service, providing two weekly options for eager vacationers. This schedule will run through August 31, 2025, offering more flexibility for travel plans.
To take advantage of this increased accessibility, Grenadian hotels are rolling out attractive summer promotions specifically for the Canadian market. Notably, Sandals Grenada is offering discounts of up to CAD $1,300 on select vacation packages, making this an ideal time for Canadians to explore the island’s stunning beaches, rich culture, and tantalizing cuisine.
Strengthening Ties and Exploring Opportunities
Nino Montagnese, Vice President at Air Canada Vacations, expressed enthusiasm about the new flight options, stating, “With additional flights between our two countries, we’re excited to enhance our vacation package offerings to Grenada this summer and continue supporting travel to the Caribbean.”
Petra Roach, CEO of the GTA, underscored the significance of the Canadian market for Grenada, explaining, “Canada remains one of our most important source markets.” She emphasized the importance of adapting to potential fluctuations in demand from the U.S. and navigating broader economic uncertainties. Roach highlighted that Canadian travelers show strong booking momentum, driven by a favorable exchange rate and a growing interest in authentic, off-the-beaten-path destinations.
The Economic Impact of Enhanced Travel
Travelers from Canada tend to engage deeply with local communities and often prefer longer stays, contributing significantly to Grenada’s tourism sector. Roach added, “This expansion is a strategic move to diversify risk and reinforce the long-term sustainability of Grenada’s tourism industry.” The real economic value generated by these visitors often extends beyond the tourism dollar, enhancing local business ecosystems.
Besides Sandals, Grenada boasts a variety of luxury accommodations, including the Spice Island Beach Resort, Silversands Grenada, and Six Senses La Sagesse Grenada, each offering unique experiences tailored to diverse preferences.
