As a traveller, you can assist with the sustainable development of Grenada and help alleviate poverty by supporting community-based tourism. Below are five actions you can take to help make a difference while travelling in Grenada:

1. Eat local food – Purchasing fresh foods in the market and eating Grenadas dishes ensures that your money stays local and supports Grenada farmers. When on a tour, request to eat in the village instead of taking food with you from town.

This will provide villagers with income and you with an authentic Grenadian meal and tremendous cultural experience.

2. Purchase local crafts - Purchasing handicrafts in markets or villages directly supports local artisans and their traditional crafts.

3. Use local guides – Taking a tour will makes your trip more enjoyable and educational, while helping employ local people. Look for packaged tours on Travelgrenada.com that include local guides, local food and local accommodation.

4. Stay overnight in villages – Staying overnight in a village as part of an organized tour provides a genuine experience with Grenadian culture and Grenadian people.

5. Visit National Protected Areas – Visiting national protected areas i.e Grand Etang National Reserve, help generate income and awareness to support the protection of threatened wildlife and forest ecosystems.
