AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Aviation & Costs: Antigua and Barbuda is set to raise its Passenger Head Tax for non-CARICOM travel from US$40 to US$50, even as passenger traffic fell 2.6% in the first half of 2026; the move is meant to cover ECCAA and the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, but IATA says the government hasn’t explained how the increase was calculated or how the money will be used. Environment & Tourism: AnuBlue says it planted more than 5,800 nursery-grown corals around Antigua, with an 84% survival rate, marking its biggest reef restoration year since 2021. Energy Transition: Government and Octopus Energy have signed a partnership to explore cheaper, cleaner power using solar, battery storage, electric vehicles and smart grid tech, including a possible virtual power plant. International Diplomacy: PM Gaston Browne met India’s Jaishankar at UNGA81 to advance development partnership, capacity building and climate cooperation, while Foreign Minister Chet Greene and DPM/FM Ishaq Dar also discussed strengthening bilateral ties ahead of CHOGM. Business & Investment: Royal Caribbean’s US$3 billion deal to buy a 50% stake in Sandals and Beaches is framed as a major boost for Caribbean tourism, with Antigua and Barbuda among the key markets. Sports & Community: Tobago native Joshua James was welcomed home at ANR Robinson Airport after winning the CPL with the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, receiving a $50,000 cheque.
