Transformative Tourism Development

In Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Leve Global implemented the €6 million Tourism Development Programme, a transformative initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s tourism sector. This multi-disciplinary project involved the assessment and development of 20 key tourism sites and attractions, ensuring their readiness for sustainable tourism growth.

Leve Global also designed a robust marketing and promotions plan, positioning St. Vincent & the Grenadines as a competitive destination. A critical component of the project was capacity building for private sector stakeholders and SMEs, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to enhance service delivery and expand market opportunities.

Leve Global also spearheaded sustainable community tourism development, ensuring that local communities benefited directly from tourism activities. Additionally, an economic impact assessment of tourism operations was conducted, providing valuable insights to inform policy and investment decisions. Through this project, Leve Global significantly contributed to the long-term growth, resilience, and sustainability of St. Vincent & the Grenadines’ tourism industry.

Community-Based Tourism Excellence

In Grenada, we conducted a national assessment of community-based tourism potential and entrepreneurship opportunities across multiple sites including Carriacou, Petit Martinique, St. George’s, Belmont Estate, and others.

Through in-depth stakeholder consultations and field visits with local tourism entrepreneurs, community leaders, and government agencies, we identified CBT readiness and barriers to participation.
