LOS ANGELES, California - Green Globe member Calabash Grenada announces a major upgrade to its resort following its recent recertification as a sustainable tourism operation. The multi-million dollar project will bring standards at the five-star resort to an increased level of luxury and improve its quality of service. The all-suite resort, which also features five top end villas, attracts high-end travelers due to its reputation for combining five star service and luxury within a relaxed and intimate environment.

Calabash has always considered the environment in all decision-making processes, and this upgrade project is no exception, with energy efficiency and water conservation being a major priority.

Have you ever dreamed of paradise but thought it couldn’t possibly be real?

I had… until my plane landed in the Southern Caribbean island of Grenada.

Its gorgeous, soft sand beaches, mountains and unspoiled, rainforest-covered interior made it seem as if dreams really can come true.

After a long but comfortable flight most passengers got off at St Lucia.

But my fianc? Jay and I were delighted we had chosen to stay on the tarmac for an hour and fly the extra 30 minutes to this gem of an island.

Grenada Prime Minister Dr Keith MItchell has announced plans for a 15-year “National Development Plan.”

The proposal was revealed following a visit to several cities in North Americ including New York, Montreal and Toronto.

According to Mitchell, Grenada is receiving technical assistance on the proposed plan from what he described as a “friendly government.”

Grenada’s government has named Caribbean soca artist Hollice Mapp as the country’s newest cultural ambassador.

Mapp, whose stage name is “Mr Killa,” is being given an official passport.

The decision, which was made by Grenada’s Cabinet, was announced following a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
