St. George’s, Grenada – June 18, 2007 - Grenada is expected to be profiled
in some of the United States
and United Kingdom’s
biggest publications.
Journalists from some of the UK’s
top newspapers and magazines have just ended a three day trip to Grenada compliments Peter de Savary’s Port Louis Grenada
and Mount Cinnamon Grenada. Cheryl Markosky from the
Daily Mail and Overseas Telegraph, Jessica Hewitson from the Observer, Lucy Alexander
of the Times; Cathy Hawker of the Evening Standard and Andrew Williamson from
the Square Mile were all brought to Grenada by Mr. Peter de Savary and his
team. While in Grenada the journalists toured some of Grenada’s best
known attractions including the Grand Etang Rain forest; the River Antoine and
Belmont Estates; the market square and the Forts of St. George’s and the
Concorde Falls.
Journalist

Washington Times, Skip Knowles of Luxury Living, Jennifer Soderborg of
Showboats International, Scott Resch of the The Robb Report, Sarah Liu of
Caribbean Travel and Life as well as Mary Wilson of Mail on Sunday, Alan Harper
of Motor Boat & Yachting, Jessica Bowen of LUX Magazine, Samir Desai of
ProFile, Jessica Wilson of I-Magazine and Alan Fox of Lusso from the United

All

offer visitors. “We have been to islands before but Grenada really does offer a
complete package, of lovely beaches, beautiful tropical forests and the culture
and history that go along with your forts,” remarked one of the journalists. As
they were leaving, they made jokes amongst each other about not wanting to
leave the island and what a great time they had and also commented about the
genuine friendliness of everyone in Grenada.
The
UK Group also got a chance to see some of the lesser known spots as they had a
blast tasting a variety of local rums and other concoctions at Pappy’s Rum Shop
in St. John’s.
This
is the third press trip Mr. de Savary has organized for foreign press this year
and he says it will be by no means the last. “In a few days time we have
another group coming from some of the top newspapers and property magazines in
the USA.
When we started this project we promised the Grenadian people that we would
bring exposure to Grenada
from all over the world. The idea behind sponsoring these trips is to increase
tourism by showcasing to the world what Grenada has to offer. We will
continue to work with Government and private tourism partners to achieve this,”
Mr. de Savary remarked.
