AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

CHOGM Prep: Antigua and Barbuda is gearing up for CHOGM 2026 with a Commonwealth Leaders Lunch in London and a major security drill, Exercise STRONGHOLD, running July 8–10, with convoy activity, road closures, traffic diversions, and restricted access around key routes and St John’s zones. Tourism & Local Ownership: PM Gaston Browne says the Yepton Beach hotel plan will shift to a public-private partnership so Antiguans and Barbudans can hold equity, while the Jolly Beach redevelopment keeps about 200 rooms and sets aside roughly 20 acres for a new hotel investment. Visa-Free Pressure: Browne says Antigua will intensify talks with the EU to protect visa-free access tied to citizenship by investment, arguing for an electronic travel authorization instead of losing travel privileges. Sargassum “Blue Gold”: A Trinidad-based group pitches a processing system to turn collected sargassum into fertilizers and compost, building on new beach-clearing tractors backed by UNDP and Japan. Community Push: Residents stage a “Ride for a Cause” demanding the reopening of the local cancer centre with a clear roadmap and reopening date. Entertainment: A new Antigua live band, de Alphas, is debuting with three dynamic female vocalists, aiming to broaden the island’s sound beyond jam-band dominance.
