Dean Fenton has been appointed as the new US Director of Tourism.

Tourism Minister Charles Max Fernandez said “The US is one of our most important markets, welcoming almost 100,000 overnight visitors per year. Our objective is to continue this momentum. We need the US Director of Tourism to have an extensive breadth of knowledge with the trade and consumer markets, and a deep contact list. Mr. Fenton will bring these important assets to the team with anticipated results of continued dynamic growth.”

Fenton expressed his excitement for his appointment saying, “I am honored to take on this new position for my home country, Antigua and Barbuda. We are on the precipice of seeing double-digit growth in tourism arrivals and cementing the country’s position as the greatest destination in the Caribbean. I am excited about the opportunities for the US team to play an integral role in the country’s success, and look forward to working together to ensure the US not only meets but exceeds expectations.”

As the new US Director of Tourism, Fenton will be responsible for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority operations in the US. He brings with him over 15 years of marketing experience in the Caribbean tourism industry and has been working with Antigua and Barbuda since 2006.

    • What does it matter? Antiguan citizens are Antiguan citizens – all equal to each other, regardless of method.

  1. Antigua needs to start attracting more tourists from Asia. The future of the world economy is Asia and if Antigua doesn’t start focusing on getting tourists from China, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea, then we are doomed to fail in the next decade.

  2. Congratulations to one of the hardest working men in the industry! I could not think of a more deserving person for this position! I am so happy for you. Wishing you all the best !
