Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez says Antigua and Barbuda is moving to broaden its tourism base beyond its traditional markets, with new efforts aimed at Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.<\/p>

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

Speaking during a \u201cKnow Your Candidate\u201d interview ahead of the April 30 general election, Fernandez outlined plans to deepen airlift and attract high-end visitors from emerging markets, while strengthening the country\u2019s position as a regional hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think what we need to do now, and we have started it, is to look at other source markets apart from the US, UK, Canada,\u201d Fernandez said, pointing to ongoing discussions with Emirates for potential service.<\/p>

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

He said the government is working toward securing flights from Dubai, noting that the move could open access to wealthy travellers in the Middle East and beyond. \u201cWe are engaged with Emirates Airlines and we will have three flights in 2027 per week coming out of Dubai,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Fernandez added that the strategy also includes exploring connections with Africa and expanding reach into Latin America, not only for tourism but also for trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are a lot of very, very wealthy people in Africa, the Middle East, and so on, and Antigua has now positioned itself as a high-end destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Beyond passenger travel, Fernandez said the government is also planning upgrades to cargo infrastructure at the airport, including expanded storage and refrigeration facilities, to support increased trade flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that the broader vision is to transform Antigua and Barbuda into a logistics and transportation hub for the Caribbean, complementing ongoing developments at the port.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe\u2019re now looking to build out a larger cargo area\u2026 all in making the airport, just as the port is being done, a hub for the Caribbean,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Fernandez noted that tourism remains the country\u2019s main economic driver, with hotels and a growing number of locally owned short-term rental properties contributing to employment and national income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said shifting travel trends since the COVID-19 pandemic have created new opportunities for Antiguans to benefit directly from tourism, particularly through Airbnb-style accommodations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister described the diversification strategy as critical to sustaining growth and insulating the sector from shocks in any single market, as Antigua and Barbuda seeks to strengthen its position in an increasingly competitive global tourism industry.<\/p>\n
