Antigua and Barbuda has been recognized as the Caribbean’s Leading Meetings & Conference Destination 2025 at the World Travel Awards Caribbean and North America Gala Ceremony—a first for the destination.
The World Travel Awards honors excellence across tourism, hospitality and travel sectors, with winners selected by tourism professionals and consumers worldwide.
“This win is an honour. It is the result of the hard work that has been done to build out the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) product by all stakeholders, in Antigua and Barbuda, from government and tourism officials to hotel partners, venues, destination management companies and more,” said Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, The Honourable Charles Fernandez, in a media statement.
High-Profile Events in the Caribbean
Antigua and Barbuda has recently hosted a series of high-profile international events, including the United Nations 4th International Conference of Small Island Developing States (SIDS4) in May 2024, the 43rd Caribbean Travel Marketplace in May 2025, and the 55th General Assembly of the Organization of American States in June 2025.
Looking ahead, the destination will welcome global leaders for the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2026, the largest international event ever hosted by Antigua and Barbuda, including the presence of His Majesty King Charles III.
Beyond business facilities, the twin-island nation offers immersive experiences, from its UNESCO-listed Nelson’s Dockyard to its beautiful beaches, cultural events and a calendar of music, culinary and sporting activities—allowing MICE attendees to combine work with memorable destination experiences.
