Antigua and Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association (ABHTA) <\/a>Chairman Craig Marshall says the island\u2019s short-term rental sector<\/a> has expanded by nearly 60 percent<\/a> in just four years \u2014 a surge he believes the tourism industry must embrace as travel preferences evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the government\u2019s weekly program Government in Motion<\/em>, Marshall said the rapid growth<\/a> of Airbnb-style accommodations reflects a global shift toward more personalized and flexible travel options.<\/p>

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

\u201cIn terms of our short-term rentals, we\u2019ve seen close to 60 percent growth within the space of three to four years,\u201d Marshall said. \u201cThat\u2019s what people want. We need to embrace that and ensure that our investments and policies support a tourism model where everyone can succeed.\u201d<\/p>

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

Marshall, who also serves as Regional Commercial Director for Blue Diamond Resorts, said the trend should not be seen as a threat to traditional hotels but as part of a broader tourism ecosystem that gives more locals a chance to participate in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTourism is everyone\u2019s business,\u201d he said. \u201cThe more we include local homeowners and small investors, the stronger and more resilient our industry becomes.\u201d<\/p>

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

His remarks come as the government works to diversify Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s tourism offerings through infrastructure upgrades, expanded airlift, and workforce training programs. Officials have also hinted at potential regulatory reforms to ensure that short-term rentals meet safety and quality standards while maintaining fair competition with established hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshall said the rise of alternative lodging underscores the need for policies that balance innovation with consistency. \u201cTravelers today are looking for authentic experiences,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must evolve to meet that demand while maintaining the high standards that define Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s brand.\u201d<\/p>

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

Tourism analysts note that if properly managed, the growth of short-term rentals could help spread economic benefits beyond resort zones \u2014 creating new income streams for residents and reinforcing Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s reputation as a dynamic, inclusive destination.<\/p>
