“Antigua has always been a very special place for me as it is the island where my parents were raised. Antigua offers Canadians an extraordinary Caribbean tourism experience. It is truly an exciting time to be in this role as Antigua and Barbuda are well positioned for exciting growth,” Skerritt said.

In his new position, Skerritt will be responsible for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority operations in Canada. Mr. Skerritt holds a Graphic Communication Management Degree, from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada.



Антигва (изговара се Ан-тее'га) и Барбуда (Бар-биев'да) налазе се у срцу Карипског мора. Највеће од Заветринских острва, Антигва и Барбуда, обухвата 108 квадратних миља. 365 белих и ружичастих пешчаних плажа, по једна за сваки дан у години, само су почетак блага које чека посетиоце. Богата историја Антигве и спектакуларна топографија пружају низ популарних могућности за разгледање. Нелсоново бродоградилиште, једини преостали пример грузијске тврђаве коју су наручили Британци 1755. године, можда је најпознатија знаменитост. Бетти'с Хопе, изграђена 1674. године, је место једне од првих великих плантажа шећера на Антигви и нуди прилику да се вратите у време посетом обновљеним млиновима. Још једна јединствена атракција је Ђавољи мост, који се налази на источном делу острва у Националном парку Индијан Таун, где су ломи Атлантика исклесали природни лук од кречњака. Антигва се може похвалити разноликим календаром туризма укључујући догађаје као што су Светска класа једрења у Антигви, регата класичних јахти, спортски риболов на Антигви и годишњи карневал; познат као Највећи летњи фестивал на Карибима. Смештај на острву се креће од луксузних, бутик одмаралишта и алл-инцлусиве хотела до мањих, интимнијих бутик пансиона и викендица.
