   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 Barbuda Resorts Travel Guide Horatio Nelson arrived in 1784 at the head of the Squadron of the Leeward Islands to develop the British naval facilities at English Harbour and to enforce stringent commercial shipping laws. The first of these two tasks resulted in construction of Nelson's Dockyard, one of Antigua's finest physical assets; the second resulted in a rather hostile attitude toward the young captain. Nelson spent almost all of his time in the cramped quarters of his ship, declaring the island to be a "vile place" and a "dreadful hole." Serving under Nelson at the time was the future King William IV, for whom the altogether more pleasant accommodation of Clarence House was built.

   Extractions: The idea of a free trade and processing zone is not new. What Antigua has done is to refine the concept to make it more user-friendly for the prospective businessman. Before launching the Antigua and Barbuda Free Trade and Processing Zone, Government commissioned a study by a team of international consultants to advise on how Antigua could perfect the idea. We believe that we have come as close as we can to create a culture free from the kind of abuses which have surfaced elsewhere. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda exercises due diligence with respect to each company which seeks to become part of the Zone. Careful checks are made through international law enforcement agencies so as to exclude companies known to have been involved in fraud, money laundering or other illegal activities. When you come to do business among us, you will be part of an elite business fraternity, operating under the most favourable conditions, in partnership with a Government that is responsive, supportive and resolute in its committment to the success of each and every company operating within the Zone.

   Extractions: Send Email Antigua's culture is a mixture of Middle Eastern, European and African culture. The African culture is particularly evident in the food and folk-tales. For instance Ananci stories are still told to children on the island. Antiguans are generally warm and friendly, though not to the extent of other Caribbean peoples. Most are hard-working, holding two or more jobs and relatively conservative in dress and speech. The people are highly intelligent, and have a great sense of humor! There are several societies that promote arts, drama, music, and horticulture. There are also cricket and soccer (locally called football) clubs. Cricket is the national sport, and Antigua has produced several top international cricketers such as Dr. Vivian Richards, Andy Roberts, Richie Richardson, and Curtly Ambrose. Sailing is a big sport in Antigua, which is a major yachting center that hosts the annual Antigua Sailing Week. Golf and tennis are also enjoyed by Antiguan residents.

   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: Antigua's tourist office boasts that the island has 365 beaches, 'one for each day of the year.' While the count may be suspect, you won't have a problem getting sand in your shoes or finding reefs and wrecks for diving and snorkeling. The island is also laden with a colonial atmosphere, from the old stone windmills of long-abandoned sugar plantations to the renovated naval base of Nelson's Dockyard (named after Horatio himself). On neighboring Barbuda, 25mi (40km) to the north, you can track the island's fabled frigate birds or rub shoulders with the rich and famous at some of the Caribbean's most exclusive resorts. This quiet, single-village island has less than 2% of the nation's population and gets very few independent visitors, mainly ardent bird watchers and a few yachties enjoying its clear waters and tranquil beaches. Area: Antigua, 108 sq mi (280 sq km); Barbuda, 62 sq mi (161 sq km)

    Extractions: Published in the Antigua Sun Newspaper on Monday, 14 January 2002 An anonymous writer in the Antigua Sun in its column, Sun Speak, of Thursday 10th January appeared to be berating the efforts of Prime Minister Lester Bird to secure a meeting of Caribbean Information Ministers to discuss the sudden closure of the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) last Friday. The writer's concerns about the Prime Minister's initiative arise from what he calls "the poor state of ABS radio and TV". "If Antigua and Barbuda cannot rescue state-run media house ABS, how then can they rescue CMC?" the writer asks. The question misses the point. Even if one were to accept the writer's contention that ABS Radio and TV are in a poor state, the Prime Minister's initiative in calling for CARICOM Information Ministers to examine the closure of CMC in no way worsens or improves ABS. Mr Bird has not suggested that the government of Antigua and Barbuda alone should consider CMC's future, nor has he proposed that Antigua and Barbuda should allocate resources to "rescuing" CMC as the writer infers. That inference misconstrues the Prime Minister's initiative.

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.
