AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Tourism & Hospitality: Antigua and Barbuda’s government has sealed a EC$6.5M tax settlement with Sandals, with EC$5M earmarked for the Fort James Renaissance Park—a new marina, amphitheatre, pool, bar, boutique hotel, Airbnb-style homes and retail. Luxury Tourism Debate: PM Browne also defended Sandals’ planned overwater bungalows and said they’ll be placed toward the southern end of Dickenson Bay to protect public access. Resort Future Watch: The government says Club Med and TUI have expressed interest in acquiring Jolly Beach Resort, but Browne warned against proposals that would cut too many rooms at once. Infrastructure & Roads: Browne told Parliament the $100M National Road Project loan is still undrawn, with drawdowns expected later this month. Road Safety: An MP called for breathalyzer testing at accident scenes as a Fatal Accidents Bill moves through Parliament. Travel Policy: Antigua and Barbuda approved a visa-free treaty with the UAE for short visits. Sports & Youth: ABFA is seeking EC$12,000 for a U20 friendly ahead of Concacaf in Mexico. Regional Context: Jamaica is in talks with the U.S. on third-country deportees, adding to a wider Caribbean immigration ripple.
