COLIN C. JAMES
CEO, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority
The vision of the newly-formed Tourism Authority is to market and promote Antigua and Barbuda as an upscale and unique destination and to design initiatives to increase visitor arrivals and drive on-island spending. James believes that Antigua and Barbuda is a destination that offers a wide array of facilities, activities and events and should be marketed as one that is attractive, elegant and renowned for its service quality. He also feels that although the global financial crisis has resulted in unprecedented challenges, the country is in a unique position to combine the experience, skills and talents of its people, working with key industry partners, to ensure the continued sustainability and success of our tourism sector. The new Tourism Authority will also ensure that all local stakeholders are continually made aware of the importance of the industry while working to provide a visitor experience that is second to none. All overseas tourism offices now fall under the structure of the Tourism Authority.
