ST JOHN\u2019S, ANTIGUA – <\/strong>As Antigua and Barbuda gears up for Antigua\u2019s Carnival, \u2018The Caribbean\u2019s Greatest Summer Festival\u2019<\/em>, taking place from July 27 \u2013 August 2, 2022, regional neighbours will get a teaser of the carnival celebrations with The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, and The Ministry of Creative Industries and Innovation \u2018Taste of Antigua Carnival\u2019<\/em> Roadshow, being held throughout a number of the Caribbean islands, ahead of the summer festival.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

Trinidad and Tobago, home to millions of Carnival aficionados, was the first stop on the roadshow. \u201cThe purpose of \u2018Taste of Antigua Carnival\u2019<\/em> is to build momentum for the festivities. Carnival is a major draw for regional travellers and a huge economic driver for us.\u00a0 Following a break of two years, and under the theme: \u2018Reigniting the Spirit\u2019<\/em>, we felt it critical to make our presence felt within the region, with a strong comeback. We are building back bridges with our regional trade partners, connecting with the media, and speaking directly to the consumer.\u00a0 There was no better place to start the show, than one of our key regional markets and a mecca for Carnival, Trinidad and Tobago\u201d, said Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority\u2019s Marketing Consultant for the Caribbean and Latin America, Charmaine Spencer.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>

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

Joining Spencer to bring the Antigua Carnival excitement to Trinidad on June 3 and June 4 was Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority\u2019s Marketing Communications Manager, Maria Blackman as well as Tours Executive, Francine Joseph and, from the Ministry of Creative Industries and Innovation Marketing and Public Relations Manager, Roger Perry and Marketing & Communications Executive, Leanda Ann Norville.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

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

The delegation hosted an \u2018Antigua Carnival Brunch\u2019 exclusively for the Trinidadian travel trade and media partners.\u00a0 Twenty travel agencies alongside three media houses attended the oversubscribed event, to learn about Antigua\u2019s latest tourism developments, easy travel protocols, and hear more about the 2022 Carnival festivities. Five down-the-line radio interviews as a part of the media blitz, took place targeting various regions and carnival audiences in Trinidad. Spencer and Perry also made an early morning appearance on CCN TV 6 to promote the roadshow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

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

\u201cLeading up to Carnival, we have one of the longest fete seasons with eight-four fetes\u201d, Perry, noted during his presentations. \u201cOur 2022 Carnival will feature new routes, new events, and more mechanisms in place for crowd control, to ensure a safe and responsible enjoying of our festivities.\u00a0 Visitors who have been deprived of Carnival for the last two years, will find a rich, cultural experience when they attend Antigua\u2019s Carnival.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekend has been extremely successful. There has been lots of interest in the 2022 Carnival and we are also beginning the outreach and planning for 2023,\u201d noted Perry.<\/p>\n

Spencer held on-the-spot meetings with tour operators to discuss Carnival packages for the 2022 Carnival, to provide travellers with the option of having their flights, hotels, carnival costumes and event tickets coordinated through an agency. \u00a0The Ministry of Creative Industries and Innovations will continue dialoguing with the agencies on the packages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meetings were also held with Caribbean Airlines to discuss possible additional airlift to the destination to meet the increased demand expected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDemand for the destination has been high. \u00a0Antigua is one of the few Caribbean countries that will host a Carnival in 2022, and with protocols that allow for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated to travel, we are preparing for a boost to the 2022 summer season that will rival our 2019 figures\u201d, remarked Spencer, tourism marketing consultant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Saturday, the team along with partner Caribbean Airlines, created a Carnival atmosphere at the popular MovieTowne in Port of Spain. Here, they greeted and engaged with an audience of persons eager to learn about the destination and the Carnival celebrations. Visitors to the Antigua and Barbuda display were able to sample local sweet treats to include, massa harris, coconut tarts, and coconut slice-up, while enjoying the Antigua Cavalier rum punch.\u00a0 Revelers dressed in costumes from Insane Carnival<\/em> and Xkclusive Carnival<\/em>, danced with visitors while Antiguan soca music filled the air. There were lots of prizes to be won, with Caribbean Airlines promoting Antigua flights, and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority offering regional travellers the chance to, \u2018Win a Trip for Two to Antigua Carnival\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Antigua and Barbuda team was warmly received by the Trinidadian public and look forward to announcing the dates and other Caribbean island stops for the \u2018Taste of Antigua Carnival\u2019 roadshow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regional Travellers have up until July 3 to enter to win a trip for two to Antigua\u2019s Carnival on<\/strong> \u00a0https:\/\/visitantiguabarbuda.com\/destinations\/win-a-trip-to-antigua-carnival\/<\/a><\/p>\n
