Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Boom Continues


Tourism to the West Indies island welcomed a record-breaking 27,301 visitors in April, a 17% increase from the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Investment.

Last year was a record year for tourism, and this year is shaping up to be the same. Year-to-date, tourism to Antigua and its sister island Barbuda is up 8.59% with 117,920 visitors.

The growth has been fueled by new luxury products, including the 294-suite Royalton Antigua Resort & Spa, which opened in May; and Hodges Bay Resort & Spa, which debuted in December, the island's first new-build in more than three years. Rosewood and Waldorf Astoria are also both slated to open resorts on the island. Read the full travel article here.
