This is followed by 6521 from the United Kingdom compared to 5378.\u00a0\u00a0With airlift still not up to pre-covid levels, Antigua and Barbuda received 839 tourists from the Caribbean and 107 from Canada during the month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James, said \u201cWe are\u00a0indeed buoyed by this continued upward trajectory in the air arrival numbers which is a clear indication that the recovery is well underway. This is particularly encouraging in that this July which is the best July ever for air arrivals was accomplished in a year when Antigua\u2019s carnival was again cancelled due to the pandemic as compared to 2019 when we had carnival. This good news only serves to redouble our efforts for the remainder of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With air arrivals up, hoteliers across the country have been busy. Vernon A. Jeffers Snr. Executive Chairman of the Antigua and Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association, reports that \u201cJuly saw a return to very high occupancies particularly across our mid-range sized hotels who performed at 80% and higher.\u00a0\u00a0We certainly hope that these occupancy levels are sustained over the next few months as travelers continue to make last minute decisions to travel to the destination.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"antig-3267588659\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_0783\"><img
