“Over the years, Antigua and Barbuda has been recognized and become synonymous world-wide for its romance product. We are indeed thrilled that the WTAs and our industry peers have again acknowledged the destination for its romance. Winning this award is an honor, and we plan to maintain our leadership position by continuing to improve our tourism product offering to provide the best vacation experience possible for all visitors,” said CEO of the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James, of the win.
