Grenada introduced its online Embarkation/Disembarkation
(ED) Card platform, streamlining entry procedures at ports of entry. The
digital system eliminates the need for paper forms as travelers to Grenada can
complete their ED card online prior to arrival by visiting edcard.gov.gd.
The ED Card is best completed the day before travel or
before departing the traveler’s port of embarkation. The launch of the ED Card
aligns with Grenada’s broader commitment to improving destination efficiency
and elevating the overall visitor journey from the moment travel begins.
“The introduction of the Online ED Card Platform represents
a practical and forward-thinking enhancement to our tourism and border
management systems,” said Adrian Thomas, minister for Tourism, Creative Economy
and Culture.
“As visitor arrivals continue to grow and we expand into new
markets, efficient processing at our ports of entry becomes increasingly
important," Thomas continued. "This initiative strengthens our operational readiness and reinforces
Grenada’s standing as a globally competitive destination.”
Modernizing arrival procedures is a critical component of
destination competitiveness, noted Stacey Liburd, chief executive officer of
the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA).
“Today’s traveler values efficiency and ease” said Liburd. “The
launch of the Online ED Card Platform reflects Grenada’s ongoing commitment to
strengthening the visitor experience while supporting a modern, digitally
enabled tourism environment. A smooth arrival process sets the tone for a
visitor’s entire stay and initiatives like this help ensure that Grenada
remains welcoming, efficient and forward-looking.”
In addition to creating visitor convenience, the
new system supports immigration and border operations by reducing processing
time and improving passenger flow, particularly during peak travel periods, say
GTA officials.
