Antigua and Barbuda has announced the launch of Antigua and Barbuda Black Pineapple Awards which will take place from 6-8 December 2024.
This exciting and exclusive event will celebrate over 100 of the destination’s top travel professionals from around the world.
The event is organised by the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
The Antigua Black Pineapple is found only in Antigua – the award symbolises the country’s “commitment to excellence, luxury, and the recognition of the pivotal role travel agents play” in promoting Antigua and Barbuda as a must-visit destination.
The Hon. Charles Fernandez, Minister of Tourism for Antigua and Barbuda said: “We are incredibly proud to host the inaugural Antigua and Barbuda Black Pineapple Awards this December.
“The Awards are not just another industry event; they are a prestigious celebration of the incredible work done by our global travel partners.
“It will be the perfect way to say a heartfelt thank you to the agents who are the backbone of our industry.
“I can’t wait to welcome and celebrate with the one hundred outstanding agents here in Antigua and Barbuda as we honour their dedication and commitment.”
Who Can Enter: The awards are open to all UK & Europe, USA, Canada, Caribbean and Latin American travel agents, including homeworkers, retail agents, and tour operators who have made bookings to Antigua and Barbuda from September 2023 to September 2024.
Agents can log their bookings on www.AntiguaBarbudaRewards.com to secure their chance to join the winner’s circle.
Colin C. James, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority in recognising the performance of the travel trade said:
“This year has been an extraordinary one for Antigua and Barbuda, with record-breaking tourism arrivals.
“This success is a testament to the relentless efforts of our teams and partners in each of our key markets, who have delivered exceptional service, and this event is all about celebrating their remarkable achievements.”
This exclusive event will culminate in a black-tie gala on 7 December, where VIPs, industry leaders, and honoured guests will come together to celebrate excellence in travel.
The gala promises to be the highlight of the weekend, featuring vibrant entertainment, authentic flavours, and, of course, the awards ceremony where the best of the best will be recognised.
During the Antigua and Barbuda Black Pineapple Awards weekend, attendees can look forward to a luxury island tour, a private catamaran cruise with snorkeling and beachfront yoga sessions.
