Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s best days are still ahead where the tourism industry is concerned, despite the prolonged battering that the sector is taking from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

So says the CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA), Colin James, while speaking recently on Pointe FM.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He expressed conviction that the situation would turn around for the benefit of all, borrowing the well-known \u201cbetter days are coming.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The pandemic has brought global tourism to its knees due to travel restrictions and border closures in several countries, forcing hotels, guest houses and other hospitality establishments to close and cruise ships to indefinitely suspend operations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Restaurants and bars worldwide have either been shut down as part of lockdowns to prevent clustering of people that could facilitate transmission, or made to operate under stringent conditions such as prohibition of all dining-in, with food served on a takeaway-only basis, for example.<\/p>\n

February 1 marked 12 years since James has been CEO of ABTA, and he agrees that the pandemic has ravaged the industry in Antigua and Barbuda, and all other countries that are heavily dependent on tourism within the Caribbean and elsewhere. But he believes one of this country\u2019s and the region\u2019s greatest strength is in their resilience, noting that they had bounced back from the global economic crisis that arose in 2008 and whose effects continued to be felt for several more years.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI have no doubt about this and no hesitancy in my spirit that we will bounce back from this one as well. We\u2019ve endured catastrophic climatic events and Hurricane Irma is an example. We\u2019ve gone through difficult challenges that have affected our tourism like the sargassum crisis. You name it. We\u2019ve had heavy exogenous shocks before but we\u2019ve always come back because we\u2019re a resilient people. We\u2019ve been surviving for hundreds of years and will continue to do so because of the drive and passion of our people to \u2026 weather these storms and to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

James does not agree that the region may have staked too much on tourism, given its vulnerability to international crises.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen you look at this pandemic, the vulnerability goes across the board, whether you\u2019re selling cars or manufacturing cars. I think the only industries that are booming nowadays are those making sanitizers, Clorox and that sort of thing \u2026 If anyone had told us last year around this time that the whole global economy would come to a halt and we would have had over a million people dead from a virus, we would have thought that\u2019s something from a science fiction novel or movie.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cBut I think as we go forward we will build the resilience that we need, and we have been remarkable in doing that. When you look at the protocols that are involved as the new normal in sanitizing hotels and making sure people are safe; not only the people who come here \u2013 but mainly the people who live and work here \u2013 I think we have done a remarkable job.\u201d<\/p>\n

James said the pandemic has revolutionized the way people work, citing the Digital Nomad Residency Programme, which Antigua and Barbuda has domestically rebranded as \u2018Business on the Beach.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on some of the preliminary data that I am seeing for the pent-up demand of people just to get up and travel after all this lockdown would have finished, then we would be well positioned to take advantage of those new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
