Executive summary
LIAT and Caribbean Star Merge
Antigua and Barbuda was the base for two airlines which provided a regional service between the Caribbean islands. One of these was privately owned (Caribbean Star) and the other (LIAT) was mainly owned by three regional governments. In 2007 these two airlines merged.
Antigua and Barbuda Tries to Target UK Travellers
One of the most important inbound flows of tourists to the island is arrivals from the UK. In order to help increase this tourist flow to the island, in 2007 the Antigua and Barbuda Tourist Office held a meeting for several of Antigua's most important hotel representatives in the UK. The objective of this meeting was to help increase UK visitor arrivals and marketing efforts for the island.
The Importance of Weddings and Honeymoons
More and more people are getting married while on holiday. This is why the most important hotels on the island offer wedding and honeymoon packages as a marketing strategy to try to attract more visitors to their facilities.
Temporary Common Visa Policy for CARICOM Member States
Most CARICOM member states, including Antigua and Barbuda, agreed to a Common Visa Policy which was only in effect between 15 January 2007 and 15 May 2007. This policy was part of the arrangement for the free movement of people during the Cricket World Cup. In this regard, the countries agreed to function as a "Single Domestic Space" during this period of time. While the policy applied to visits to the region for any purpose, the idea was to facilitate the movement of tourists during the Cricket World Cup, which took place during the period mentioned.
Cricket World Cup Year
It is not easy to fully understand the culture of Antigua and Barbuda without taking into account the island's fondness for cricket. The sport is played everywhere and at any time of the day, although official matches tend to be held on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The official cricket season lasts from January to July and is combined with regional and international matches. This is one of the reasons why the impact of the World Cup was high on the island.
