AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Tourism Momentum: Antigua and Barbuda just posted its strongest first quarter on record, with stayover arrivals up 7% to 110,832 visitors, as January, February and March all hit all-time monthly highs—fuelled by expanded airlift, cruise growth, and fresh demand from Europe plus emerging interest from Latin America and the Middle East. Ebola Border Watch: Health officials are moving fast on Ebola precautions, proposing a 45-day entry restriction for people who were in designated outbreak areas, while reinstalling airport thermal screening and stepping up port health work—no local Ebola cases reported. Malaria Update: Two imported malaria cases were confirmed, including one death, but officials say the mosquito that spreads it is extremely rare and public risk remains low as surveillance and mosquito control ramp up. Airlift Twist: The inaugural Air Peace Lagos service is landing in Barbados instead of Antigua as a conservative health measure; about 25 passengers are expected to connect onward via LIAT. Law & Training: The Medicinal Cannabis Authority is briefing new police recruits on the legal categories of cannabis to improve enforcement and public education. Politics: A senator is calling for an apology from the AG after remarks mocked absent opposition members. Culture: Caribana 2026 is underway in Barbuda with a packed run of parades, monarch competitions, and events through Monday.
