13 Application of lessons learnt Sector s recovery Marketing & positioning of destination Refine marketing program based on export ready focus (Ready, Near ready, Needs significant intervention, Should consider alternatives). Use of distribution channels Continued product development 13
14 Application of lessons learnt Sector s recovery Minimal bureaucracy Establishment of Tourism Task Force - External leadership, Public / Private / Partnership, Task specific, Action oriented. - Accomplished access to major tourism assets, return of cruise ships within 65 days after hurricane Ivan. 14

17 Application of lessons learnt Sector s recovery Specific initiatives Investment promotions Home stay programme Target of 1,000 rooms New investments 17
18 Application of lessons learnt Sector s recovery New investments within sector Savvy Grenada Ltd. (Port Louis, Mount Cinnamon, Tufton Hall, Mount Edgecombe Plantation, Azzura castle) - When investing I believe in being ahead of the game Peter de Savary Why Grenada? (Porter s determinants Factor & Demand conditions; Variables Chance & Government) 18
19 CONCLUSION Hurricanes tend to occur during the Low Season. Timing advantage is nullified by the scale of damages that is possible in an instant. Sharing of best practices and lessons learnt from actual experiences is very important. Our hope is that our lessons would serve you well 19
