Antigua and Barbuda is hoping Trinidadian’s appetite for carnival will see revellers descending on their islands to enjoy their week-long festival from July 27 to August 2.
With most of the Covid-19 restrictions lifted across the Caribbean, the islands are inviting tourists to their shores for the summer holidays. Unlike T&T, which celebrates its Carnival in February, Antigua’s carnival coincides with Emancipation.
In 2019, the last time Carnival was held, Antigua managed to attract 5,000 regional travellers and 10,000 international travellers. Now after a three-year break, coming out of Covid-19 lockdowns and curfews, the Antiguan organisers are hoping for a bumper festival.
