\u201cA seventeen percent increase in arrivals is remarkable growth, and spells exciting news for Antigua and Barbuda\u201d, said Minister of Tourism, the Honourable H. Charles \u201cMax\u201d Fernandez.\u00a0\u00a0We hope to carry forward this momentum through the crucial summer months of May \u2013 October with the launch of our global summer marketing campaign #WhatCoolLooksLike.\u00a0\u00a0This will all help to increase visitor arrivals and revenue to the destination, during this period.<\/p>

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

The #WhatCoolLooksLike campaign currently being rolled out by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, offers cool savings on flights and accommodation for persons booking vacations to Antigua and Barbuda, with opportunities for further savings on tours, excursions and restaurant dining, when they arrive in the country.<\/p>

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

Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s peak season generally extends well into April, with flagship activities taking place in the destination, such as the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta, and the Antigua Sailing Week.<\/p>\n

During the month of April,\u00a0the US market lead the way with 11,709 US visitors, arriving into Antigua and Barbuda, recording a 23.43% increase. Antigua and Barbuda also saw increased arrivals from the United Kingdom, Europe and the Caribbean source markets, with increases of 9.92%, 32.75% and 14.81% respectively.<\/span><\/p>

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

For the year to date, visitor air arrivals into Antigua and Barbuda are showing an increase of 9,327 or 8.59% visitors over the same period 2018. This equates to 117,920 visitors up to April 2019, compared to 108,593 for 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tourism Officials anticipate that the strong performance so far will continue during the summer, with the new opening of the luxurious Royalton Resort, and the hosting of events on the tourism calendar such as the \u2018Play It Out\u201d Concert, Antigua and Barbuda Sports fishing Tournament, The Optimist World Championships, and Antigua\u2019s Carnival: The Caribbean\u2019s Greatest Summer Festival.<\/span><\/p>
