ANTIGUA & BARBUDA TOURISM AUTHORITY

The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority launched its romance campaign in Barbuda in honor of June – The Month of Romance. The Love and Wanderlust campaign which was launched back in June of 2022 has now evolved to include the tagline “The World’s Greatest Love Story” in keeping with the campaign’s goal to position the destination as the perfect backdrop to any love story. The Barbuda launch included a short ceremony with both Antigua and Barbuda tourism officials in attendance and a billboard unveiling.    

In addition, the Barbuda Codrington Airport, which serves as one of the gateways to Barbuda, was transformed into a romantic haven, complete with a beautiful pull-up banner and pink and white decor that set the tone for the “Greatest Love Story.“ The welcoming atmosphere at the airport provided a glimpse of the enchantment that awaits couples who arrive on beautiful Barbuda .  

The highlight of the launch was the unveiling of a stunning Billboard at the Fisheries Complex - a prime location on Barbuda. The 16 by 8 Billboard revealed for the first time local Barbudan couple Jahmeel George and Christoph Greaux and highlights their love story at different romantic locations on the island. The billboard is a lens into their own journey, filled with moments of joy, passion, and discovery. The striking billboard shows images of the Barbudan couple in an enchanting proposal at the caves, enjoying a romantic boat ride to the frigate bird sanctuary and walking hand in hand along the pink sand beach of Barbuda. The campaign’s leading couple who was also in attendance at the launch were gifted with a honeymoon stay from Barbuda Cottages in lieu of their pending nuptials on July 2.  

  “This initiative aligns perfectly with the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority's goal to promote not just Antigua but Barbuda as an exclusive romantic retreat for all couples seeking unique, romantic experiences where they can share their love. Together, with the Barbuda Council, our hope is to captivate the hearts and minds of couples and entice them to explore the island’s natural beauty while creating unforgettable and lasting romantic moments”, says Shermain Jeremy, Special Projects and Events Manager and romance pillar lead.   

  “Barbuda promises an outstanding intimate experience for honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply a romantic escape to reconnect and we look forward to welcoming all couples to our beautiful shores”, says Anreka Geness Tourism Marketing Officer for the Barbuda Council attached to the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.   

  The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority and the Barbuda Council are excited to invite couples from all corners of the globe to embark on an unforgettable journey of romance and love in Barbuda where the world’s greatest love stories begin...
