Grenada’s leading tourism industry group has joined forces with a top regional paint supplier to drive quality improvements across the island nation’s hospitality sector, marking a new collaborative milestone for local tourism infrastructure development.
The Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association (GHTA) and ANSA Coatings Grenada Limited (ACGL), a subsidiary of the diversified ANSA McAL Group specializing in high-performance paint manufacturing and distribution, formally signed their strategic partnership agreement on March 31, 2026. The deal was sealed by GHTA Chief Executive Officer Arlene Friday and ACGL Commercial Manager Reyan Neckles during an official signing ceremony.
This cross-sector collaboration is built around a shared goal of elevating the standard of building maintenance and renovation services available to tourism and hospitality operators across Grenada, while making premium paint products more affordable for industry stakeholders. Under the 3-year terms of the agreement, ACGL will hold official designation as a GHTA-endorsed Paint Partner, and extend exclusive discounted pricing on two of its flagship product lines, Berger and Sissons paints, to all active GHTA member businesses.
In comments following the signing, Friday emphasized the tangible value the partnership delivers to GHTA’s membership, noting that the arrangement does more than just cut costs for hoteliers and hospitality providers. “This agreement not only offers tangible benefits to our members but also strengthens the overarching quality and appeal of Grenada’s tourism and hospitality facilities,” Friday said, framing the partnership as a key investment in the island’s global reputation as a top travel destination.
Neckles echoed Friday’s optimism, emphasizing ACGL’s longstanding commitment to supporting the growth of Grenada’s core economic sectors. “We are proud to support the Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association. Our collaboration underscores our commitment to providing superior products and services that contribute to the vibrancy and success of Grenada’s tourism sector,” Neckles said.
The partnership is structured as an ongoing collaborative effort, with formal commitments from both organizations to expand engagement over the 3-year term. GHTA has pledged to actively promote ACGL’s full range of products and services to its membership through multiple dedicated channels, including increased digital brand visibility and targeted social media outreach to hospitality operators.
Leaders from both organizations say the alliance exemplifies how cross-sector partnerships can advance shared priorities: it delivers cost savings and quality improvements to GHTA members, strengthens ACGL’s position as a leading local supplier, and drives sustained, quality-focused growth for Grenada’s $1.5 billion tourism sector, the island’s largest contributor to GDP. By aligning the expertise of a local industry association with the product offerings of a trusted regional manufacturer, the partnership aims to lift the overall quality and long-term sustainability of Grenada’s tourism infrastructure for years to come.
