Antigua launches Unique Properties GEMS guide

Mamlaka ya Utalii ya Antigua & Barbuda imezindua hivi punde “Mwongozo wa Sifa za Kipekee wa Antigua na Barbuda”.

The guide showcases Antigua’s smaller hotels and properties, many of which are owner managed and family owned offering an added value, more personalised stay.


The unique properties were first formed in 2007 but the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism has taken the initiative to re-brand the collection and produce the guide.  The guide aims to promote independent properties to not only UK consumers but also UK travel agents and tour operators.

Kukaa katika mojawapo ya vito hivi vya karibu kunawapa wageni uzoefu wa kipekee wa 'nyumba kutoka nyumbani' na itaonyesha mwelekeo mpya kwa Antigua na Barbuda kwa mgeni wa Uingereza. Vipengele vya kipekee vya 'vito' hivi ni kwamba wageni wataweza kuwafahamu wenyeji wao wa Antiguan na Barbuda na kuhisi uchangamfu na ukarimu wa kweli wa visiwa hivyo.

Mwongozo huruhusu wageni kuchagua nyumba inayofaa zaidi mahitaji yao, ambapo wanaweza kufurahia nyumba halisi ya karibu, kuanzia ya kifahari na ya kisasa hadi rahisi na ya kifahari. Majengo hayo pia yana mipango thabiti endelevu ili kuhakikisha kukaa kwa urafiki wa mazingira.

Aina mbalimbali za mali hutoa thamani ya ajabu iliyoongezwa na ufahamu wa ndani kutoka kwa wamiliki na uzoefu halisi unaopatikana. Hizi ni kuanzia madarasa ya upishi katika Villas katika Sunset Lane hadi kuchunguza mikoko katika South Point Horizon, uhamisho wa bure wa uwanja wa ndege na kukodisha gari.

Mrs Dulcie Looby-Greene Compliance and Accommodations Officer at the Ministry of Tourism, Economic Development, Investment and Industry  who spearheaded the  project said, ”I’m delighted to see the rebranding of the Unique Properties –  Gems of Antigua and Barbuda come to fruition. I’ve been involved with these properties from inception and today we have provided them with a platform and the tool to put their properties into the forefront of the U.K. trade and media.”
