More and more travelers are getting to know the island and a lot of inquiries are made for day trips and extended holidays in Barbuda. It is important that we promote and market Barbuda differently because it is such a unique island. He further went on to say, “Barbuda is an eco-lover’s dream with beautiful flora and fauna. Here you can take a load off and reconnect with nature, regain your balance, and find your Zen while taking in 17 miles of stunning pink sand beach.”
