AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Luxury Tourism Push: PM Gaston Browne says Sandals Grande Antigua will invest over US$100 million to add 100+ rooms, including about 16 overwater bungalows—positioned toward the groyne so Dickenson Bay stays open to the public. Tax & Expansion Update: Browne also revealed Sandals has agreed to pay the government $6.5 million in a tax settlement tied to its Antigua expansion. Jolly Beach Plan: The government is weighing bids to acquire Jolly Beach Resort, with Club Med and TUI among the interested parties, while also moving ahead with a $13.5 million upgrade package (AC replacements, better internet, and a 500-person conference facility). Cruise & Events Infrastructure: ABFC says Carnival City’s stage and roof are complete, with next steps focused on upgrading the venue ahead of major programming. Community & Pride: Two Antigua resorts publicly welcomed LGBTQIA+ travellers during Pride Month, stressing belonging and respectful hospitality. Air Connectivity: Nigeria’s Air Peace launches new Lagos links to Douala, Libreville, Bamako and Conakry from Aug 1, 2026, with connections flagged to Caribbean destinations including Antigua. Regional Tourism Business: Barbados has been named host for Caribbean Travel Marketplace 2027, after Antigua’s successful hosting.
