AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Luxury Tourism Push: PM Gaston Browne defended Sandals Grande Antigua’s planned overwater bungalows, saying they’ll be placed toward the groyne (not mid-beach) and that Antigua must keep expanding luxury offerings to stay competitive. Tax & Resort Expansion: Sandals agreed to pay the government $6.5 million in a tax settlement as it moves ahead with a $100M+ expansion adding 100+ rooms, including about 16 overwater bungalow units. Jolly Beach Update: Browne says Club Med and TUI are among parties interested in acquiring Jolly Beach Resort, while the government also announced $13.5 million in upgrades—new A/C, better internet, and a conference facility for up to 500. Blue Economy & Climate: Antigua and Barbuda appointed marine scientist Dr. Deborah Brosnan as Special Envoy for Coastal Resilience and the Ocean Economy, aiming to boost coastal protection and attract funding. Pride Month Hospitality: Pineapple Beach Club Antigua and The Verandah Resort and Spa publicly reaffirmed LGBTQIA+ welcome and inclusion messages for Pride Month. CHOGM Preparations: Government says CHOGM planning is advancing across logistics, security, transport, accommodation and protocol, with strong international interest and local volunteer sign-ups. Education & Tourism Talent: Antigua and Barbuda students won top honours in FCCA environmental poster and essay competitions, with awards presented at the Ministry of Tourism. Cruise Growth Signals: A major cruise port operator is moving toward negotiations for a new St. Vincent and the Grenadines cruise port deal—another reminder of how fast regional cruise competition is heating up.
