Antigua and Barbuda does it again! Wins ‘Caribbean ‘s Most Romantic Destination’
Island Beat out 12 Competitors, Cementing Its Position as Being The Best Destination for Weddings, Honeymoons or Romantic Getaways
Antigua and Barbuda has once again cemented itself internationally as a serious contender in the Romance, Weddings & Honeymoons market, as this past weekend the destination received one of the highest honors in the travel industry by winning, the ‘Caribbean’s Most Romantic Destination,’ at The World Travel Awards – Caribbean and North American Gala Ceremony, held at Sandals Resorts International in Nassau, Bahamas.

James, of the win.
