Grenada pledges to 'spice up' online agent training
James ChappleThe Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) has vowed to "spice up" its online agent training by bringing the sounds of the island and the Caribbean to agents homes during the coronavirus lockdown.
GTA has created a some special #GrenadaDreaming Spotify playlists featuring island artists, as well as a range of Zoom backgrounds showcasing the island’s beaches, rainforest and other attractions.
Meanwhile, trade and community manager Lisa Braithwaite is heading up new 10-minute one-to-one agent training webinars, which can be requested by emailing uk@puregrenada.com.
Sharon Bernstein, GTA director UK and Ireland, said: “Ongoing training for agents is imperative so they are well equipped with the information they need to sell the Caribbean islands of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique with confidence once temporary travel restrictions are lifted.
"Our trade and community manager Lisa is spearheading new 10-minute one-to-one agent training webinars, and we’ve created #GrenadaDreaming Spotify playlists and Zoom backgrounds to bring even more Grenadian vibes to all we’re doing.”
The playlists are available through Spotify, while the Zoom backgrounds – and any additional information or training needs – can also be requested via uk@puregrenada.com.
Meanwhile, GTA has teamed up with the Grenada Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation to invite citizens of the tri-island Caribbean nation to "salute" essential and frontline workers on Friday (24 April) at 6pm with sound using any instruments at their disposal.
Salute by Sound will last for five minutes, and the public is encouraged to take videos and post them to social media under the hashtag #GrenadaSaluteYou.
“We must pay tribute to our heroes for the sacrifices made by themselves and their families in these difficult times," said GTA chair Brenda Hood.
