Overview

From one angle Grenada has an "exotic" flavour which appeals especially to Westerners. Known as the "Spice Island" it is the world's second-largest producer of nutmeg and is a significant producer of mace cinnamon ginger and cloves.

It also boasts beautiful scenery with picturesque and fertile valleys rainforests fast-flowing streams hot springs mountain lakes a tropical climate and excellent beaches.

Although Grenada has one of the fastest-growing economies in the Caribbean poverty is widespread. Growth in investment and tourism and a construction boom have helped to reduce unemployment.

The country was dealt a serious blow in 2004 when Hurricane Ivan swept through killing dozens of people damaging 90% of the
island's buildings and devastating the nutmeg crop.

Tourism has generated its own problems in the form of threats to the rainforest and beach erosion caused by resort projects.
