The topic on the table when Minister of Tourism Hon. Peter David and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Mrs. Arlene Buckmire-Outram met with officials of Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina in September was future plans for the marina. The Camper & Nicholsons’ team of General Manager Clyde Rawls, Marketing and Sales Coordinator Danny Donelan and Project Manager Robin Swaisland provided the ministers an extensive briefing.    "When this project is completed, we will have some of the best facilities anywhere in the world," Rawls said. “This project is one which I am sure we at Camper & Nicholsons and the people of Grenada will be very proud of.”

The Camper & Nicholsons’ team and the Ministers agreed that much more focus needed to be placed on yachting. Donelan said that the new Camper & Nicholsons marina would bring more of the yachting community to Grenada and assist in making Grenada a global center for yachting. He also stressed that yachting encourages the development of a range of ancillary and support services. "We have had yachting in Grenada for many years and we already have experienced chandlers, mechanics and provisioning services. However, we expect these services to grow even more with the development of Port Louis. We will more than double the number of yachting berths available in Grenada and with this will come a huge increase in the services needed," Donelan said.     Speaking to the media after the meeting Minister of Tourism Hon. Peter David expressed the Government's full support for the project. "As Minister of Tourism, I can assure you that Government will take steps to ensure that this project and others of its kind succeed. We welcome the further development of the yachting industry here in Grenada and look forward to receiving more yachts from many different parts of the world."
