Hurricane Emily, a category one storm which hit Grenada on July 13th, 2005, did not damage the hotels. According to Minister of Tourism, Senator Brenda Hood, "The resort areas in the southern parts of the country are fully operational."
Electricity, water and telephone services have been restored to most households. The Point Salines International Airport is open and flights are on schedule. Banks, financial institutions, supermarkets, hospitals, pharmacies and other businesses have resumed normal operations.
All resorts and lodgings are functioning normally, as are established tourist sites and attractions, restaurants and dive sites. Grenada's Carnival and the Carriacou Regatta will be held, as planned, in July and August.
