"In 2004, Hurricane Ivan destroyed 90 percent of the country's infrastructure and agriculture. Post 2004, the only promising economy is tourism. It will take years to revive agriculture, particularly the nutmeg industry."
"Grenadians uphold their social/cultural integrity. A strong feeling of nationalism and island pride. Ecological quality remains high, despite Ivan's destruction. The coastal zone is not overbuilt. The forested and mountainous interior is ecologically rich and aesthetically appealing. Yachting, scuba diving, bird-watching, and use as a honeymoon venue is appropriate."
"A special place with rich culture, heritage, and biodiversity. Development is coming in and the government is so desperate they are selling off protected areas."
"Aesthetic appeal high, with lovely natural harbor and wide vistas. Tourism development seems driven towards competition with other islands, such as Barbados and St. Lucia. This would spoil its assets."
