Caribbean Tourism Organization Said- At the Women in Tourism Leadership Dinner & Awards during Caribbean Week in New York, Antigua and Barbuda took the stage — not only as one of the evening’s proud sponsors, but as a passionate advocate for gender inclusion and leadership in regional tourism.
Colin C. James, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, opened the night with charisma and Caribbean charm, hailing the strength, style and sisterhood of the women shaping our industry:
“The world may be 70% water, but tonight it’s 100% women making waves.”
Charles Henry Fernandez, Minister of Tourism, Investment and Economic Development, underscored Antigua and Barbuda’s deep commitment to empowering women at all levels of society — from frontline hospitality to national leadership roles.
“These appointments are not symbolic — they’re transformative.”
Together, they honored the phenomenal women leading the region forward — with stilettos high, impact higher, and excellence on full display.

Yes Antigua! Proud to see women getting the spotlight they deserve.
Me hope young girls watching this and dreaming even bigger now.
Antigua showing the rest of the Caribbean how it’s done.
That’s how you mix beauty, brains, and business—go Antigua!
Every time Antigua represent like this, me heart full.
So, the 2 most visible & vocal men in A&B Tourism speaking so.
Howabout working on succession plans for bright, capable, intelligent, future-forward women to take your positions?
You sound like plenty of hotel owners/managers who talk big about women because they know without them their own ratings would not shine as brightly, yet so so so often, a woman is the brilliant #2, shoring up a man who just may be less capable than her.
Equality in the upper positions in tourism in Antigua seems a way off yet.
