AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Tourism & Investment: Prime Minister Gaston Browne says Fort James Renaissance Park is set to kick off by September, with EC$5 million earmarked from the Sandals settlement and plans for a marina, restaurants, retail, recreation and a possible small hotel—while keeping public beach access. Regional Aviation: Incoming OECS Chairman Browne used the OECS Authority meeting to push for a dedicated OECS airline, backed by discussions on using about US$50 million in unclaimed deposits plus possible EU support. Diplomacy: Antigua and Barbuda and Honduras formally established diplomatic relations in Panama, with cooperation flagged for trade, investment and tourism. Language & Skills: Government moves to make Spanish a second official language, including Spain-backed training and frontline programmes for tourism, hospitality, airport/seaport operations and customs/security. Travel Industry: EL AL expanded its Virgin Atlantic codeshare via London Heathrow, adding one-ticket connections to Antigua and Barbuda and other Caribbean destinations. CHOGM Readiness: Hotels and tourism stakeholders are urging accommodation providers to register as bookings intensify ahead of CHOGM 2026. Health Services: Antigua’s cancer treatment centre is expected to begin services in the fall, but officials still haven’t confirmed a firm opening date or patient costs. Public Safety: Sports Minister Dwayne George called for stronger road safety after cyclist Tahje Browne was struck by a motorist. Payments Advisory: ECAB warns Visa and Mastercard can’t be used in Cuba under a new US-linked banking restriction.
