Antigua and Barbuda is known worldwide to be one of the most romantic places on earth.

Marketing Manager of the Tourism Authority, Charmaine Spencer noted that “Association with moguls in the industry such as Preston Bailey really sets the precedence that Antigua and Barbuda is serious about its dominance in the romance business. It also educates our industry partners and entrepreneurs on best practice and trends within the sector, to enhance their business’ offerings, especially for the upcoming tourist season; it’s a win-win!”
