With just under two thousand registered rooms in Grenada, Carriacou, Petite Martinique, the Grenada Tourism Authority’s new Homestay programme aims to expand the nation’s room stock while diversifying its tourism product.
This Homestay programme offers homeowners the opportunity to earn extra income and to exchange cultural traditions with a visitor. This ongoing programme is opened to persons who have apartments for short-term rental or extra rooms within their households.
Interested homeowners are encouraged to complete the application process on or before Friday 27th February, 2015.
Completed application forms are to be delivered to the headquarters of the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) along with a passport photo, a police record, and a non-refundable administrative fee of $50.00.
Homes will then be audited by the GTA and successful applicants will receive a certificate of registration along with a property listing on the destination’s official website, www.puregrenada.com.
Application forms are available at www.puregrenada.com/homestay and at the GTA’s office on the Carenage, St. George’s. For further information and guidance please call 440 2279 or 440 2001.

GRENADIANS URGED TO BECOME HOMESTAY HOSTS
People do not be so stupid and let foreigners into your homes. Do not let the enemy scope you out! The government has already sold us out!!!!! The island do not need all these Investments. The power is in the people and the money to be made is also in the fople for the people. Things are changing not for Grenadians, but for the foreigners that are coming. Take back your island and stop selling to foreigners.

Gillian i do agree with you,and what is a major issue here in grenada is that this government is encouraging such behaviour at the economic expense of our poor people in favour of these foreign investors/buyers who main aim is to buy up these lands and build these mansion houses and in doing so makes it near impossible for the ordinary working class Grenadians to be able to pruchase land to built a family home hence the long term problems we face here,but i guess some would say that as long as the Chinese Government is building these (free) prefab houses without any garden to even grow a litle quick crop our country and Government will be forever importing agriculture produce while our home grown produce and land goes to the highest buyers and our local people and their family is pushed to the woods.
