Antigua and Barbuda reported a seven per cent increase in tourist arrivals in July as the country continues to record a "steady rebound" in visitor arrivals in the wake of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
The Ministry of Tourism said during the month of July, Antigua and Barbuda welcomed 24,673 visitors to the destination, an increase over the 23,405 for the corresponding period last year and the 2019 record of 23,031.
Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez says for a second year, Antigua and Barbuda is experiencing a healthy summer season as consumer travel confidence grows.
Tourism officials here said that an influx of visitors from the United States contributed to the increase with arrivals 30 per cent higher than in July 2019.
