Antigua and Barbuda welcomed a record 1.2 million visitors in 2024, surpassing pre-pandemic levels and setting a new benchmark for the country’s tourism industry.
Officials announced the milestone at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Year in Review press conference, highlighting the sector’s continued growth and resilience.
Maria Blackman, Marketing Communications Manager at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA), attributed the success to strategic marketing efforts, strong partnerships, and the dedication of tourism stakeholders.
“These figures demonstrate not just recovery but significant progress. The commitment of our team, partners, and the broader tourism community has been crucial in achieving this milestone,” Blackman said.
- 1.2 million visitors – A record-breaking figure, exceeding 2019 levels.
- 17% increase in air arrivals – More than 50,000 additional passengers compared to 2023.
- Cruise tourism growth – 428 cruise ship calls, up from 372 the previous year.
- Hotel sector expansion – New properties, including the Marriott at Yepton and One&Only Half Moon Bay, set to increase accommodation capacity.
The ABTA’s ‘Be’ campaign played a key role in promoting Antigua and Barbuda’s cultural and natural attractions, while digital marketing efforts expanded the destination’s reach in key markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean.
Tourism officials aim to build on this success by expanding airlift capacity, diversifying visitor experiences, and addressing infrastructure challenges to support rising demand.
With sustained investment and strategic planning, Antigua and Barbuda are poised to remain one of the Caribbean’s leading tourist destinations
