Extractions: home search help worldguide ... Postcards Away from the resorts, Antigua retains a traditional West Indian character, manifest in the gingerbread architecture found around the capital, the popularity of steel band, calypso and reggae music, and in festivities such as Carnival. English traditions also play an important role, notably in the popularity of Anglicanism and cricket. Several Antiguan cricketers are considered among the best of all time. English is the official language, but most islanders speak a local patois. Antigua has a venerable literary tradition, dating back to colonial memoirs, and continuing with the works of world-renowned author Jamaica Kincaid. While generally friendly to outsiders, Antiguans are jealous of those who come from independent nations. The country's first prime minister was a trade unionist who led the fight for Antiguan autonomy. Among the British Caribbean islands, Antigua is one of the few that elects its own head of state. Barbuda shares the West Indian culture of its larger neighbor, but its isolation has given it some peculiar traits. Most of its 1100 people share half a dozen surnames and can trace their lineage to a small group of slaves brought to the island in the late 1600s. Breeding experiments on the slaves produced a population of inordinately tall people. : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

Extractions: Antigua. The largest of the British Leeward Islands had warm, steady winds, a complex coastline of safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral reef. It would make a perfect place to hide a fleet. And so in 1784 the legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson sailed to Antigua and established Great Britain's most important Caribbean base. Little did he know that over 300 years later the same unique characteristics that attracted the Royal Navy would transform Antigua and Barbuda into one of the Caribbean's premier tourist destinations. In Antigua the signs are still there, they just point to different things. The Trade Winds that once blew British men-of-war safely into English Harbour now fuel one of the world's foremost maritime events, Sailing Week . The expansive, winding coastline that made Antigua difficult for outsiders to navigate is where today's trekkers encounter a tremendous wealth of secluded, powdery soft beaches . The coral reefs of Antigua, once the bane of marauding enemy ships, now attract snorkelers and scuba divers from all over the world. And the fascinating little island of

Extractions: AT FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY AWARDS PRESENTATION Tuesday, 4th June 2002.....Prime Minister Lester Bird was among fifty-three regional tourism officials who were honoured at the combined Caribbean Tourism Organisations (CTO) Fiftieth Anniversary Awards Presentation and the Twenty-Ninth Annual Governments Of The Caribbean State Ball which was held on Friday May 31, at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. In this regard Prime Minister Lester Bird has had a considerable impact on the growth and development of tourism in Antigua and Barbuda. His vision was to use tourism to transform the economy of his country and improve the quality of life of his people. His dynamic leadership skills and many successes over the years has proved his vision a reality. In 1976, Mr. Bird was appointed as Minister of Tourism, a portfolio he held for 14 years. During that time he constructed Antigua and Barbuda's tourism programme on three pillars: the creation of a modern capital city, with tourism services as its fundamental underpinning; the doubling of the number of hotel rooms to accommodate large numbers of visitors to ensure regular and sustained calls by international carriers; and the education and training of the people of Antigua and Barbuda to operate the hospitality industry at the highest international standards.

Extractions: O ne cannot fully grasp the culture of Antigua without considering the island's fierce devotion to cricket. The sport is played everywhere and at any time, though official matches tend to be held on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The cricket season lasts from January to July and is interspersed during most seasons with regional and international matches. The Antigua Recreation Ground, which became in 1980-81 the 52nd international test venue, is one of the most exciting places in the world to observe a match. The local crowd is extremely devoted to the game, and the facilities themselves are outstanding. Although Antigua's pool of players is small it has proven to be among the world's richest in talent, having produced three of the West Indies' best players. The first was Andy Roberts , who emerged as an international star during the mid-Seventies. Roberts' outstanding career as a fast bowler during the heyday of West Indian cricket in the early 80's was followed by his tenure as the coach of the West Indies team. Another great Antiguan player is Richie Richardson , the former captain of the West Indies, who developed into one of the game's most punishing batsmen in the decade following his 1983 debut.

Around 1200 AD, they were forced out by the raiding Caribs, who ranged from all over the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus discovered Antigua on his second trip to the Caribbean, in 1493 and named it after a church in Seville, Spain. When the British colonized Antigua in 1632, the island subsequently entered the sugar era.
