Congratulations ABTA!
Congratulations to the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority on reaching its 16th anniversary! The organization has played a key role in promoting the islands as a top travel destination, contributing significantly to the economy. However, as tourism continues to grow, it’s crucial to ensure that local communities benefit directly from this success, particularly in terms of job opportunities and sustainable development.
There should be a stronger focus on diversifying the tourism product beyond traditional sun-and-sea experiences to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience against market fluctuations.
