St. George’s Grenada — [July 8th, 2025] — The Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association (GHTA) is
thrilled to announce the launch of its inaugural Hospitality Camp, an immersive program
specifically designed for Form 3 students from various schools throughout Grenada and Carriacou.
This exciting initiative, fully funded by the GHTA Tourism Enhancement Fund, will provide 24
young participants with real-life experiences in the hospitality and tourism industry.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, The GHTA Hospitality Camp aims to inspire the

diverse facets of the industry. Throughout the program, participants will gain insight into key
departments such as Human Resources, Public Relations, Finance, Health & Safety, Spa Services,
Wedding Planning, Marketing, Food & Beverage, and more.
Campers will have the chance to meet and interact with representatives from esteemed
establishments, including Sandals Resorts, Spice Beach Resort, Silver sands Grenada, and Mount
Edgecombe. Additionally, they will engage with professionals from the water sports and dive
sectors, event planners, and industry leaders from both the GHTA and the Grenada Tourism
Authority (GTA).
This camp is a pivotal step in nurturing young talent in the hospitality sector,” said Ms. Arlene
Friday, CEO of GHTA. “By providing these Form 3 students with hands-on experiences and
opportunities to connect with industry leaders, we are investing in the future of Grenada's tourism
industry and empowering our youth to pursue careers in this vibrant and diverse field.”
