ʻO ka mea hope loa, hoʻohui mākou i ka huakaʻi no ka mea he poʻe haʻaheo mākou o Grenada, Carriacou a me Petite Martinique. ʻO ʻoe ka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻO ʻoe ka mākaʻikaʻi; no kākou āpau ia. Inā ʻaʻole mākou he mea hou a hiki ʻole ke hāʻawi i nā ʻike hoʻomanaʻo ʻole, inā ʻaʻole mākou e mālama i ko mākou kaiapuni no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana, inā ʻaʻole mākou e mālama i kā mākou moʻomeheu, inā ʻaʻole mākou he poʻe aloha a aloha ʻole, inā ʻaʻole mākou e hana i nā meaʻai hou olakino. , a laila ʻo kā mākou ʻoihana Hoʻokipa, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomau ʻia kā mākou loaʻa. ʻO nā mea āu e hana ai i ke ola, he kuleana kāu e pāʻani ai.

Hoʻohui nā mākaʻikaʻi iā mākou āpau ma Grenada, Carriacou a me Petite Martinique.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

If we are not innovative and cannot provide memorable experiences, if we do not care for our environment for generations to come, if we are not custodians of our culture, if we are not friendly and courteous people, if we do not produce healthy fresh foods, then our Tourism industry, our gains cannot be sustained.
In the future, I would like to see the bonds between these two sectors deepen as we seek to provide healthy, fresh foods to our residents and visitors.
During the pandemic, the Tourism industry has been hard hit and this was acutely felt by a number of families, therefore, Government knew it had to move swiftly to ensure that the industry was rescued.
