I-Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority isanda kwethula “Unique Properties GEMS of Antigua and Barbuda Guide”.
The guide showcases Antigua’s smaller hotels and properties, many of which are owner managed and family owned offering an added value, more personalised stay.
The unique properties were first formed in 2007 but the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism has taken the initiative to re-brand the collection and produce the guide. The guide aims to promote independent properties to not only UK consumers but also UK travel agents and tour operators.
