The Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) celebrated 2024 as an exceptional year for tourism in Antigua and Barbuda during a \u2018Year in Review\u2019 Press Conference highlighting key achievements during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest data presented at the press conference, Antigua and Barbuda welcomed over 330, 281 stay-over visitors for the year and over 823,955 cruise passengers, surpassing previous records, and the 2019 pre-covid benchmark year.<\/p>

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

The United States market led the growth in stayover arrivals, with strong performances also from the United Kingdom & Europe, Caribbean & LATAM, and Canada markets.<\/p>

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

\u201cOur growth in 2024 is a direct result of our efforts to strengthen connectivity, position Antigua and Barbuda as a regional hub with two international airports, expand our hotel and accommodation offerings, invest in human capital, and stay on top our game,\u201d said the Hon. Charles Fernandez, Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation & Investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to recognise all the work that has been done by the teams at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism and to our stakeholders whose collaborations and dedication have made this success possible.\u201d<\/p>

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

Antigua and Barbuda saw significant expansion in airlift during 2024, with increased service from American Airlines, Delta, and JetBlue, as well as the return of Condor and the introduction of Sunrise Airways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Airways also increased service to the destination.<\/p>

The Antigua and Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association reported increased hotel occupancy in 2024, exceeding that of 2019, highlighting the growing demand for the accommodation product in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

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

The cruise sector also flourished. Increased homeporting operations led by the Antigua Cruise Port and the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority were noted, with further expansion expected in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority Colin C. James said, \u201c2025 promises even more with the first quarter of the year, bringing increased cruise calls for Antigua and Barbuda and more airlift, with Frontier set to launch its inaugural San Juan \u2013 Antigua service on February 15, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
