    I’m proud of our visibility at Seatrade, but we can’t rely solely on cruise tourism. We need to think about how this industry connects to our youth, our communities, and long-term resilience. Cruise tourism can bring huge benefits, but it must be balanced. Vendors, taxi operators, and local artisans should all benefit, not just big companies and port authorities.

    I commend the team for representing Antigua and Barbuda at such a prestigious event, we must ask, is this a meaningful development or just another proud moment for the government ahead of election season? just asking tho

    Politicians love to tout partnerships with cruise lines, but we rarely see that money trickle down to the street vendors, tour operators, or struggling communities. These wins are only real if they result in broad-based, visible improvements.
