The proposed project aims to assist the OECS member state of
Grenada in its effort to reestablish and secure the productive
capacity of the tourist sector in the aftermath of September the
11 terrorist attacks in the US. To this end, the project would
support (a) expansion of tourism promotion through 2002 by way
of a regional campaign; (b) maintenance of critical fuel imports
necessary to keep tourism-related facilities operational during
the recovery period; (c) additional enhancements to port and
airport security, necessary to maintain secure transportation
linkages to major markets and to preserve the sub-region's image
as a safe tourist destination; and (d) further improvements to
the administration of off-shore financial and business services
in line with recent international agreements.
In support of the above program, Bank assistance will consist of
a lending operation with the following objectives: (i) to help
safeguard and maintain the productive capacity of the tourist
sector in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks in
the US; (ii) to enhance security at key airport and seaport
facilities in line with emerging international standards with
the aim of preventing further acts of terrorism and safeguarding
the sub-region's image as a safe tourist destination; and (iii)
to strengthen the country's institutional capacity to adopt,
develop and implement security plans, procedures and measures as
mandated by international civil aviation and maritime transport
regulatory agencies
