TOURISM E-MAGAZINE LAUNCHES GOURMET ISSUE
Thursday 15th December 2011

(New York, NY 12/15/11)

Antigua and Barbuda’s Tourism offices in North America have released the A&B Buzz Gourmet issue, just in time for the Christmas season, which is described as “the most flavourful time of year.”

The December publication takes readers on a culinary expedition to discover the destination’s dining options against a backdrop of the history, culture, and people that help give flavour to the destination. This month’s issue highlights a range of A & B culinary artists, including executive chefs, performing chefs and cake makers who share their inspiration for cooking as well as some of their favourite recipes.
 
Among this month’s attractions is “The 12 Days of Holiday BUZZ.” This Facebook contest offers readers a chance to win a 4-night getaway at Nonsuch Bay Resort and several A & B culinary products: Tablemanners, an award winning cookbook that showcases a range of local chefs, Susie’s Hot Sauce and English Harbour Rum, two of the destination’s internationally recognized products.
Barbadian cuisine is also highlighted with a comparison of the indigenous spiny lobster to the Atlantic lobster in “The Clash of the Claws.”  King Montgomery’s Clash of the Pop,” a local Barbudan Christmas event, features a variety of local porridge flavours.
 
According to Derede Samuel-Whitlock, Director of Tourism for the USA, “This month’s issue is very exciting as food is a big part of our culture, particularly as we celebrate Christmas. Cuisine is critical in shaping the visitor experience and the detailed content allows readers to go behind the scenes to take a look at key ingredients, garnishes and spices, as well as traditional tools and unique cooking techniques behind the artistic passion of A & B chefs.”
The Director indicates that as the readership of the E-magazine continues to grow, that the team will continue to explore lifestyle topics and human interest stories that will keep agents engaged and equipped with the relevant information to competitively position and sell Antigua & Barbuda.
 
The BUZZ is a monthly on-line magazine featuring destination updates, special promotions and industry news and it is a core part of a new digital strategy launched by the North American Tourism offices.  Presented in a lifestyle format, utilizing a multimedia combination of print, video and social media, the publication provides a cost effective conduit between the destination and the travel industry.
