With record-breaking visitation numbers and increased presence in Canada, Antigua and Barbuda signals its commitment to the Canadian market and the destination's readiness for international travellers.

What's a better way to tell Canadian trade about the islands' offerings than to let them experience everything for themselves? That's exactly what the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority did. Just a few weeks ago, a group of Canadian agents, influencers and media were invited to visit Antigua and Barbuda to experience the country's biggest celebration— Antigua Carnival!

To help facilitate the journey, Caribbean Airlines added a few special direct flights to enable Canadians to experience Carnival this year. 

However, for the regular schedule, two Canadian carriers are currently offering direct flights to V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU):

May-October (Summer)

• WestJet - Sundays
• Air Canada - Sundays

November-April (Winter)

• WestJet - Sundays and Wednesdays
• Air Canada - Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays

To make the arrival and departure process seamless for all travellers, the destination has launched a new mobile digital entry and exit system at ANU. For more information, click here.

Global Agents was invited to explore Antigua and Barbuda together with the Tourism Authority, and we have lots to tell you! Stay tuned as we reveal top places to see, stay, and dine, and more information on this year’s Carnival celebrations!
