The first-ever Global Antigua and Barbuda Black Pineapple Awards — a spectacular initiative that honors and celebrates the outstanding achievements of hard-working travel agents from around the world is set to take place from December 5th to 9th, 2024, in Antigua and Barbuda. The event, organized by the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, will bring together over 100 of the destination’s top-producing travel professionals for an exclusive celebration in the stunning twin-island paradise.

Named after the unique and delicious Antigua Black Pineapple — Antigua’s most famous and sweetest fruit, found only on this stunning Caribbean Island, these awards symbolize the country’s commitment to excellence, luxury, and the recognition of the pivotal role travel agents play in promoting Antigua and Barbuda as a must-visit destination.

The Hon. Charles Fernandez, Minister of Tourism for Antigua and Barbuda said, “We are incredibly proud to host the inaugural Antigua and Barbuda Black Pineapple Awards this December. The Awards are not just another industry event; they are a prestigious celebration of the incredible work done by our global travel partners. It will be the perfect way to say a heartfelt thank you to the agents who are the backbone of our industry. I can’t wait to welcome and celebrate with the one hundred outstanding agents here in Antigua and Barbuda as we honor their dedication and commitment.”

Who Can Enter: The awards are open to all USA, UK & Europe, Canada, Caribbean and Latin American travel agents, including homebased and store-front agents who have booked Antigua and Barbuda hotel packages from October 01, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

This success is a testament to the relentless efforts of our teams and partners in each of our key markets, who have delivered exceptional service, and this event is all about celebrating their remarkable achievements.”

This exclusive event will culminate in a Black-tie Gala on December 7th, an evening of sophistication and glamour where VIPs, industry leaders, and honored guests will come together to celebrate excellence in travel. The gala promises to be the highlight of the weekend, featuring vibrant entertainment, authentic flavors, and, of course, the awards ceremony where the best of the best will be recognized.
