The Tourism Division in the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Economy and Culture has commenced its 2026 Immersive Edutainment Tours, continuing its tourism awareness campaign aimed at fostering a deeper appreciation of the sector and highlighting career opportunities among students at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
The first tour for 2026 was held on Friday, 20 February, engaging 20 Grade Five and Grade Six students, along with one teacher each from St George’s Methodist School, St Louis Girls RC School, St George’s Anglican Senior School, and Uganda Martyrs Catholic School.
Students were taken on an educational tour of the George Brizan House of Nutmeg and the Tri-Island Chocolate Factory, both located in Beaulieu. The Tri-Island Chocolate Factory is recognised as Grenada’s first open-to-the-public “tree-to-bar” chocolate facility.

At the George Brizan House of Nutmeg, which is operated by the Grenada Cooperative Nutmeg Association (GCNA), students were exposed to the processes involved in nutmeg cultivation, harvesting, and production, gaining valuable insight into one of Grenada’s key agricultural exports.
The second edutainment tour is scheduled for Friday, 27 February and will be held at the Coyaba Beach Resort in Grand Anse. This tour will engage 20 Form Three students, along with one teacher each from Wesley College, Anglican High School, JW Fletcher Catholic Secondary School, and the Grenada Boys’ Secondary School.
The Immersive Edutainment Tours are designed to build tourism awareness among young people by providing first-hand experiences within Grenada’s tourism industry.
The initiative also seeks to deepen students’ understanding of the country’s hotel and cruise sectors, as well as the role of agro-tourism and community tourism in national development. The programme was first introduced in March 2023, with its inaugural tour hosted at Fort Frederick.
