AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Luxury & Hotels: The Residences at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua shared new visuals ahead of an early-2026 sales launch, positioning the $400M Jolly Beach development as branded “resort living” with 84 rooms/suites and 134 residences. New Resort Launch: Long Bay Zen Resort officially opened on Antigua’s east coast as a “quiet luxury” $200M, 113-key property, with demolition starting now and major construction slated for Q4. Air Connectivity: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes launched an interline agreement for single-ticket, through-booking travel (with checked baggage to final destination) linking Antigua’s hub to French Caribbean routes and onward Paris Orly connections. Tourism Policy & Value: The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) urged governments to adopt a broader way to measure tourism’s real value—focusing on economic retention, investment in people, and environmental impact—building on discussions from the 2026 Caribbean Travel Forum in Antigua. Ebola Border Measures: Antigua and Barbuda halted visa waivers for travelers from African nations and tightened disclosure rules, with PM Gaston Browne defending the move as necessary to protect tourism and local healthcare capacity. Local Travel Notes: All Saints Road works triggered an evening detour schedule, while police reported a motorcycle officer remains hospitalized after a crash on Sir Sydney Walling Highway. Caribbean Events: Antigua & Barbuda brought Antigua Carnival 2026 energy to Miami’s Food, Wine & Fete, previewing “Feel the Rhythm” for July 25–Aug 4.
