of 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>The key observations of ABHTA\u2019s findings were as follows:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Antigua and Barbuda still have available rooms, including the soon-to-reopen 230-room Royalton Chic (formerly Halcyon) in Q2 2024, and plans to reintroduce additional rooms at Jolly Beach.<\/li>\n<li>The Villas\/Guesthouse market boasts a substantial number of rooms, emphasizing the need for effective regulation, marketing support, and compliance.<\/li>\n<li>Success for 2023-2024 depends on competitive pricing, given rising operational costs and the importance of strong UK Market performance supported by airlines like BA Holidays and Virgin Holidays.<\/li>\n<li>Cost barriers in travel may deter last-minute bookings.<\/li>\n<li>The country is seeing an encouraging trend of earlier booking patterns, with March 2024 reservations already gaining momentum for most properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a
