On June 30, 2026, the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) and the Investment Migration Agency Grenada (IMA) announced a formalized strategic partnership designed to enhance coordination between the nation’s tourism promotion and investment migration initiatives.
The collaboration is anchored by a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on June 17, 2026. This agreement creates an operational framework focusing on key areas where tourism and investment intersect, including foreign direct investment, destination branding, sustainable development, and international reputation management. Through this alignment, the agencies aim to consistently present Grenada as a premier destination for travel, residence, and long-term investment on the global stage.
According to Stacey Liburd, Chief Executive Officer of the GTA, the MOU represents a deliberate shift toward a unified national strategy. “Tourism and investment migration both influence how Grenada is experienced and understood globally,” Liburd stated, adding that the partnership strengthens Grenada’s capacity to offer a “clear, credible and competitive value proposition” that supports sustainable growth and long-term national development.
The framework ensures that while both agencies will coordinate their global outreach through joint participation in international missions, harmonized messaging, and the sharing of market intelligence, they will still maintain the integrity of their individual mandates. Thomas Anthony, CEO of the IMA, noted that the agreement brings clarity and structure to areas where the two agencies naturally overlap. He emphasized that as Grenada continues to attract interest from both investors and visitors, this alignment “ensures that engagement is strategic, consistent and beneficial to the country’s broader economic objectives”.
Moving forward, the GTA and IMA plan to collaborate closely on stakeholder engagement and capacity-building programs. These joint initiatives will cover critical areas such as investor relations, international marketing, compliance awareness, and reputational risk management. Ultimately, this partnership aims to advance a highly coordinated model of destination development, utilizing tourism promotion and investment engagement as complementary drivers for the country’s long-term economic resilience, confidence, and global visibility.
