Deliverable 2.1 Evaluation of Heritage Tourism Opportunities & Challenges Deliverable 2.1 Evaluation of Heritage Tourism Opportunities & Challenges A Sustainable Heritage Tourism Endorsement Programme Prepared by the Grenada National Trust Submitted to Coherit Associates on Tuesday, May 5 In fulfillment of activities 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, and 2.1.9 of the OAS Project Expanding the Socio-Economic Potential of Cultural Heritage in the Caribbean 1 Supply-Side Baseline A baseline inventory of Grenada’s heritage tourism assets and infrastructure, and their potential for growth 1. What tangible cultural heritage assets (e.g. museums, archaeological sites, shipwrecks, landmarks, historic sites, monuments, districts) exist at your destination? Which are already included in tours and visited by international tourists? Which are frequented by domestic visitors? Which have the capacity to host more tourists safely and sustainably (consider existing amenities such as restrooms, parking, staff and customer service, wayfinding, and physical integrity)? Which ones are “hidden” from tourists or under‐accessed? The following table presents a list of the most accessible heritage assets in Grenada and Carriacou, whether or not they are visited by foreign and/or local visitors, which sites have the potential to sustainably host additional visitors, and are any under-accessed or “hidden.” It is not an extensive list of the islands’ cultural heritage assets, but a list of sites, many of which are already a part of the tangible heritage offered to visitors and have the capacity for enhancement, and thus the possibility for generating increased income to communities. It does not mean that these sites have been developed as part of the tourism product, as most are very basic since few amenities, interpretation and accommodations have been made for visitors. For sites that are already described in A-Z of Grenada Heritage by John Angus Martin, a page reference is identified under “Description/Status.” “WT” under “Possible Expansion” refers to Walking Tour.

  • Kalinago Alliance Networks
    KALINAGO ALLIANCE NETWORKS Annie Cody ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the alliances held by the Kalinago (Island Caribs) at the time of Europe­ an contact and colonization. It suggests that European influence provided a catalytic stress, stim­ ulating the Kalinago to strengthen their inter-island alliances with each other and to knit together their ties with other ethnic groups, such as the Taino and Kalina (Galibi). The alliances formed by the Kalinago illustrate segmentary sociability and complementary opposition, as formerly autono­ mous groups consolidated to meet the threats posed by European colonization. This study applies network analyses to historic Kalinago inter-island alliances, and finds a complex, hierarchical network, in which St. Vincent and Dominica were promoted to dominant positions. RESUMEN Este artículo se enfoca en las alianzas sostenidas por los Kalinago (Island Carib), en el tiempo de contacto con los Europeos y la colonización. Se sugiere que la influencia Europea proveyó un esfuerzo catalítico, estimulando a los Kalinago a reforzar sus alianzas inter-islas, entre ellos mis­ mos y para estrechar sus lazos con otros grupos étnicos, como los Taino y Kalina (Galibi). Las alianzas formadas por los Kalinago ilustran una socialización segmentaría y oposición comple­ mentaria, antiguamente como grupos autónomos, se consolidaron para enfrentar las amenazas de la colonización Europea. Este estudio aplica un análisis de red a las alianzas históricas inter-islas, y encuentra una compleja red jerárquica, en la que St Vincent y Dominica fueron promovidas a posiciones dominantes. 311 INTRODUCTION Sociopolitical characterizations of West Indian societies at the time of European contact embody essentially synchronic snapshots.

Firstly I would like to thank my husband Adam Sirek, my parents Kim and Marius LaCasse, and my father- and mother-in-law Jan and Elizabeth Sirek, who have been my constant support in every possible way throughout this journey. My thankfulness to you is immeasurable. And to my baby Kathryn, whose smiles were a constant source of strength and encouragement, my thanks and love to you. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my co-supervisory team, Drs Felicity Laurence and Byron Dueck, who devoted seemingly unending hours closely analysing my thesis, discussing ideas with me, and providing me with encouragement and inspiration in many more ways than just academic. I am truly grateful for their guidance, expertise, and for being so giving of their time and of themselves. I learned so much more than research techniques and writing style from both of them.
