Kawana Bay for a 5-star hotel in Grenada located on world- renowned Grand Anse Beach. A SENSIBLE INVESTMENT Kimpton® Hotels & Restaurants has endorsed the concept and will operate the resort. Kimpton is the world’s largest boutique hotel operator and part of the InterContinental Hotels Group®. Their track record of achieving high occupancy and strong daily rates will underpin rental returns and property values. Grenada’s citizenship-by-investment programme is proving to be far more attractive than buying citizenship through a non-refundable donation. In the latter case you get your citizenship but your money has gone. With CBI you pay more but you get freehold title of a luxury 5-Star property that you can sell after three years. Best of all, there is a highly transparent rooms revenue share scheme in place, which means that anyone choosing to invest in property at Kimpton Kawana Bay will receive an annual return on their investment once the hotel opens and until they sell their investment. Whether they choose to sell after three years, or hold, it doesn’t affect their Grenada citizenship, which is for life. Providing you select the right property, which holds its value, and there are excellent reasons why this should prove to be the case at Kimpton Kawana Bay, your citizenship could cost you nothing and even make a return for you. STUNNING LOCATION! Kimpton Kawana Bay is located on Grand Anse Beach, Grenada’s most popular resort beach. CNN have ranked Grand Anse Beach ranks in the Top 30 of CNN’s “World’s 100 Best Beaches” review (September 2016). Here’s what CNN said: “Possibly Grenada’s finest family beach. Foot- soothing sands, skin-comforting waters and soul- calming breezes. Big enough to never get crowded and intimate enough to feel like your own”. Grenada is a great place to holiday or live. In terms of crime rates, it is the safest country in the Caribbean. It sits below the main hurricane belt and has a wonderful year-round climate. Colourful communities and spice markets, 34 34 friendly people, international airport and highly acclaimed medical university it is one of the best places in the world to be. EXPONENTIAL DEMAND FOR SECOND CITIZENSHIP The 2018 Global Risks Report, developed with the support of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Advisory Board, said that this was “another year of heightened concern”. A deteriorating geopolitical landscape is partly to blame for this pessimistic outlook, with 93% of respondents saying they expect political or economic confrontations between major powers to worsen, and nearly 80% expecting an increase in risks associated with war involving major powers. One logical consequence of global unrest is a massive increase in global migration. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, there are now more than 258 million people living in a country other than their country of birth. This is an increase of 49% since 2000. In particular, there has been increased demand from High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) in these jurisdictions seeking second passports as a way to protect themselves and their families from the risks caused by external political and economic factors beyond their control. Obtaining a second citizenship gives a person options and security, much like buying insurance. It can provide a bolt-hole for hard-earned wealth and even a new home for those wrongly persecuted by unfair governments. Furthermore, a second citizenship provides those in need with another passport on which to travel visa free, as many unsettled country’s passports afford very restricted international mobility. TO SUM UP Citizenship-by-Investment at Kimpton Kawana Bay, Grenada is simple, gives the best global access of any citizenship and is a sound investment. Furthermore, it is one of only two citizenship programmes in the world offering E2-visa access to the US. No other country’s CBI programme offers a package to match that of Grenada.
