Response from the Antigua & Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association (ABHTA) on Accommodation Levy Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua & Barbuda, April 4, 2025<\/strong>: During the weekly Cabinet Press Briefing, Chief of Staff Lionel Max Hurst highlighted a presentation made by representatives of the Ministry of Finance regarding the payment of the Accommodation Levy and the under-reporting of hotels. <\/p>

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

The Antigua & Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association (ABHTA<\/a><\/strong>) acknowledges these concerns and remains committed to ensuring compliance among its members.<\/p>

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

However, we emphasize the necessity of extending this compliance effort beyond traditional hotels to include the rapidly growing Villa and Guesthouse market, commonly associated with platforms such as Airbnb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABHTA <\/a><\/strong>strongly encourages the growth of the Villa and Guesthouse market and recognizes it as a valuable and viable segment that expands the range of accommodation options available to visitors. <\/p>

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

This growth enhances the destination\u2019s appeal by catering to diverse traveler preferences while complementing the existing hotel sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last quarter of 2024, the ABHTA actively engaged with key government stakeholders\u2014including the Honourable Charles \u201cMax\u201d Fernandez, Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation, & Investment and the Inland Revenue Department\u2014to highlight the need for standardized taxation across all accommodation providers.<\/p>

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

The significant growth in visitor arrivals has been accompanied by a notable shift in guest preferences, with a 14% decline in hotel stays and an 11% increase in stays at Villas and Guesthouses when comparing January\u2013December 2024 (the island\u2019s strongest tourism year) to the same period in 2019 (the second strongest year for stayover arrivals).<\/strong><\/p>

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

As the Government advances its compliance efforts, the ABHTA welcomes an audit of its members but strongly advocates for the extension of this initiative across the entire accommodation sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A standardized and enforced taxation framework will prevent revenue leakage, ensuring that the Government fully benefits from the sector\u2019s overall growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remain eager to collaborate with all relevant authorities to support a fair and comprehensive approach to taxation, ultimately strengthening the tourism industry and national economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
