Hillsborough - Carriacou and Petite Martinique, which the National Democratic Congress administration has promised will be integrated “fully into the mainstream of national life,’’ will have a representative on a Grenada Board of Tourism delegation that is travelling to the United Kingdom from September 14th on a marketing promotion tour. Allison Caton, Tourism Development Officer for Carriacou and Petite Martinique, will be part of the “Rhythm of the Spice’’ U.K. trip. The Country Boys String Band of Carriacou is also included on the delegation. “The islands of Carriacou & Petite Martinique display a range of assets which together make them an interesting tourism destination,’’ Caton said. “With this visit to the U.K., I’m hoping that we’ll attract more visitors to the 13 square mile island.’’ On taking office in July 2008, the government of Prime Minister Hon. Tillman Thomas had pledged that its tourism efforts will include assistance for “national cultural events on Grenada and Carriacou to ensure the highest quality cultural products.’’ Only recently, new Minister for Tourism Hon. Glynis Roberts held discussions with members of the Grenada Board of Tourism with the view of enhancing Carriacou’s tourism product. As a follow up to the meeting, another is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, September 9th, at the Carriacou Multi-purpose Centre with various tourism stakeholders. Bt Deanna Isaac Carriacou
