Development of casino tourism (Grenada)
Full article
1) Strategic positioning
Grenada is the chamber, safe and atmospheric destination of the Caribbean. Casino tourism here is not about "megarezorta," but about compact evening activities at hotels, tied to gastronomy, music and the local flavor of the "spice island." The goal is to lengthen the guest's day after 20:00, increase the evening spend and strengthen the reasons for a second visit.
Key principles:- 'Gaming as part of rest, not its purpose'
- Entourage and scripts for the Caribbean theme (sea, spices, music)
- Tough ethics Responsible Gaming (RG) and friendly guest service

Social activities: bingo evenings, mini-slot tournaments (30-45 minutes), live shows.
Theme weeks: "Spice Hunt," "Regatta Nights," "Calypso Wheel"
Non-gaming complementary services

- Indirect sales: late dinners, transport, excursions, merch.
- Proportion of UGCs and return visits.
- Loading the "belt" 20: 00-01: 00, conversion of packages "Stay & Spin/Dine & Deal."

The development of casino tourism in Grenada is a smart evening product: compact halls with a Caribbean aesthetic, packages for cruisers and MICE, a strong bar and music component and a transparent Responsible Gaming policy. This approach increases evening revenue, creates jobs, supports the restaurant and event sector, and strengthens the Spice Island brand - without trying to turn Grenada into a megakashino, while maintaining its chamber, friendly character.
