THE Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) has praised the establishment of Grenada’s Honorary Consulate in Georgetown, calling it a timely boost for diplomatic, economic, and tourism co-operation between the two Caribbean states.
The Consulate, which opened on December 10, 2025, marks a new phase in bilateral relations and will be headed by Honorary Consul Dr Komal Singh, a former Chairman of the Private Sector Commission.
THAG commended Dr Singh on his appointment, noting that his leadership is expected to strengthen cross-border partnerships, improve connectivity, and encourage new avenues for tourism collaboration.
The Association also highlighted that the Consulate’s launch aligns with President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali’s push for deeper regional tourism integration.
Guyana and Grenada, THAG noted, offer complementary attractions that can be packaged into multi-destination experiences and enhanced through joint marketing efforts.
The move follows a series of recent engagements between the two governments, including the Guyana–Grenada Trade Mission and the introduction of direct air services, developments that have been instrumental in expanding business ties and cultural exchange.
With Guyana’s tourism industry rapidly growing, THAG said it is committed to supporting this strengthened partnership.
The Association expressed readiness to collaborate closely with Dr Singh and both governments to develop initiatives that boost the visibility and competitiveness of the tourism sectors in Guyana and Grenada while promoting shared economic benefits.
