Keen interest was shown in Grenade as a travel / tourism destination and its products. Its charm and beauty entrance audiences who were introduced to images and information about Grenade. However, the theme could return been better presented in equipment casualty of the description given along with the photos. An important piece as the underwater sculpture should have clearly stated the purpose more than anything else. throng who read it still had lots of question as to why was it done.Each piece should have had an inviting title. Instead of Just Wickedest the display could have read From Despair to look forward to or Ocean conservation through artificial coral get down. The booze was looking forward most to how each country authentic the theme of the expo and although it was a masterpiece, he theme was not kinda well explained as to how we were dealing with conservation of the ocean. During the Judging period, each BIB member spent no more than two minutes at the booths. Also, each booth operator should have had business cards by which the y could be contacted.Many visitors have requested our contact information and it had to be written on scraps of musical composition. Visitors also had to write information on paper for us even some were lost due the busy day to day operations from the booth. When a laptop was available, immediate responses went out to any queries. Those who requested information on De la Grenade product were handed out cards that were provided from Ms. La Grenade. One other slight hindrance was the slowly response to information requested from Grenade. Albeit the difference in time. Feedback on important information was necessary for a smoother flowing operation.A thorough checklist should have been done for the required items needed for booth operators If Grenade is to participate at another(prenominal) expo, our Ministry should bring in the perspective booth operators earlier to assist with preparations including theme placement and checklist for required activities. Foreign Affairs should conta ct any diplomat representing Grenade in the Country in which the expo is to be held. Honorary Consul leeward was very disappointed that no one contacted him. He had to tint out trot the organizing committee it Grenade was represented at the Expo and contacted us directly.Before our Commissioner of ingredient left an appointment was made to meet with Consul Lee. During the meeting at the incite Hotel, he expressed his disappointment concerning the situation and informed Mr.. Charles and myself hat he was not there on official government business since he was not informed of our participation through the right channels but wanted to meet with us to talk about the expo and Grenade. resultant I worked well with the number of visitors to the booth and offered our Grenadier warmth and welcome smiles to all. Questions were answered and relative information shared on manufacturers, tourism and Grenade.We shared our countries abundant heritage, cultural diversity and openness for doing b usiness with the Korea and the rest of the foundation Overall, I do believe that the Expo Committee met its objectives in bringing the world together to highlight, promote and to create awareness of the important role that the ocean plays in every aspect of human lives The Organizing Committee of Expo 2012 moldiness applauded for the way in which it delivered its messages about climate change, maritime resource development, and maritime environment preservation to the public in a fun and fond manner.Our Government, especially the Environment, Ministry of Foreign Trade, and export development must also be commended for taking on this initiative for participating in EXPO 2012
