LIAT regrets to advise our passengers that
industrial action has been taken today by the members of the Leeward Islands
Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA). In the ongoing negotiations for higher wages,
which includes the operation of the ATR aircraft, the pilots have taken action to
refuse to fly the ATR 72 aircraft until agreement is reached. As a consequence of
this action we have not been able to operate flights scheduled with ATR 72 aircraft
at this time. These actions have already resulted in a number of delays and
cancellations.

New App to Enhance the Grenada Visitor Experience

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Tuesday May 30, 2017 – The Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association (GHTA) has taken a major step to enhance visitor experience, with the release of its exciting new app.

The Pure Grenada App, launched last Thursday, is a one-stop shop showcasing events and locations in Grenada along with digital images and information of restaurants, accommodation, culture, activities, festivals and points of interest in the tri-island state.

It showcases a simple interface featuring places to explore, events, favourites saved by the user and close by locations. If you already know what you’re looking for then, the app features a search engine that allows you to go straight to the information you seek. It also allows for users to submit their reviews and ratings. An important feature to note is that the app can be accessed without a data connection.

GHTA Information Technology Officer Clevon Noel said that as development in technology continues, tourism must keep up with new innovations and the tourism authority was excited to provide the new tool.
