Small properties shine for SIDS4

Published

As the 4th International Conference on Small Island States approaches, thousands of delegates are preparing to visit Antigua and Barbuda.

They will be accommodated in some of the most charming and exclusive properties that meet the high standards set by the Ministry of Tourism of Antigua and Barbuda.

To meet the increasing demand for rooms from the international community, the Island Accommodations portal was created through a collaborative effort involving the Tourism Ministry, the ICT Department of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, and Global Travel Collection.

The platform allows conference delegates to book their accommodations and flights to Antigua and Barbuda.

These unique properties are now satisfying the demand and expectations for accommodations in Antigua and Barbuda during a busy period for the twin island nation.

Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Charles Fernandez, is extremely heartened by the support from smaller properties, who have enthusiastically grasped an opportunity to benefit from the historic occasion for the twin island nation and ensure the success of the conference.

The Ministry of Tourism and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda are proud of them, and this conference will establish an amazing legacy by showcasing the versatility of their travel accommodations.

He expressed admiration for the Government’s ICT Division, the Antigua and Barbuda New York Office, his team at the Ministry of Tourism, and Pro Travel Inc for their innovative and pioneering initiative that required a collective effort and long hours to make it all come together.

Angie Licea, President of Global Travel Collection, stated that “At Global Travel Collection, we believe it is our fundamental responsibility to give back to the world we journey through.

Protecting the unique communities and ecosystems vital for small island nations is one of our top priorities. The SIDS4 conference presents an opportunity to bring together global leaders and build partnerships for sustainable development and resilience amidst global challenges.

It is an honor for us to be a part of this important event and to collaborate with the Antigua and Barbuda Mission to the United Nations as the official travel management company,” Licea concluded.
