Grenada named world’s
first ‘Culinary Capital’
By Nelson A. King
The London-based World Food Travel
Association (WFTA) on Tuesday named
Grenada and its sister islands Carriacou
and Petite Martinique the world’s first
“Culinary Capital.”
WFTA said “Culinary Capitals” is a
regenerative tourism program that it
devised “to put the spotlight on culinary
cultures around the world, as the
tourism industry begins to recover after
its long hiatus.”
Kirl Grant-Hoschtialek, acting chief
executive officer of the Grenada Tourism
Authority (GTA), said that “the
Culinary Capitals destination accreditation
by the World Food Travel Association
is a huge achievement for Grenada.
“We are known around the world
as the Spice of the Caribbean, so it is
fitting that we are the first Caribbean
island to earn this designation,” Grant-
Hoschtialek said. “This will undoubtedly
attract discerning travelers who
want to explore the link between food
and culture, and who want to ensure
that every dish they have on their vacation
tastes amazing.”
WFTA said the integration of spices
into Grenada’s cuisine has resulted in
an overall robust and flavorful national
food profile.
“From fine dining to casual beachside
restaurants, and even street food,
it is undeniable that Grenadians have
a taste and flair for delicious food,”
WFTA said. “The islands are perfectly
positioned as a Culinary Capital, with
their many distinctive culinary assets
to showcase.”
WFTA said examples include the tradition
of saraka; the national dish “oil
down”; chocolate; nutmeg ice cream;
handcrafted rums; and, of course, the
many uses of the spices on the island
– both in food and for medicinal and
wellness purposes.
Now that Grenada’s unique culinary
culture is officially recognized, WFTA
said the GTA is set to market the destination
to “foodie travelers”, further
develop the island’s food tourism offerings,
and “put Grenada on the map for
consumers who travel for unique and
memorable food and beverage experiences.”
Erik Wolf, WFTA executive director,
the world’s leading authority on food
and beverage tourism, said that “smaller
destinations like Grenada need every
competitive advantage, and that is what
Culinary Capitals provides.
“Savvy food-loving travelers are adding
destinations like Grenada to their
bucket lists right now, eagerly waiting
for when they can travel again,” he
said.Wolf said the Culinary Capitals program
accredits eligible destinations
through a rigorous application process.
“The program is about much more
than just earning recognition,” he said.
“Successful destinations also receive
marketing and strategy support for the
coming year, as they put their new
moniker to good use in their destination
marketing efforts.
“And for food- and beverage-loving
travelers, Culinary Capitals designation
gives them new choices with undervisited
destinations, which is exactly
what travelers now seek post-pandemic,”
Wolf added.
