We talk about the impact of yet another U.K. COVID-19 lockdown on Antigua and Barbuda's ravaged hotel sector.
New U.K. rules will compel all Britons overseas to get a COVID-19 test to get home - another reason for visitors to stay away and a further strain on the twin-island state's public health system. The host is Kieron Murdoch.
The guests are:
- Alex De Brito, the Vice Chairman of the Antigua Hotels and Tourism Association and Vice President of Operations at the Galley Bay Resort and Spa;
- David Massiah, the General Secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda Workers Union which represents many of the hotel employees in Antigua and Barbuda;
- Adrian Loveridge, a small hotel owner in Barbados and a former director of the Barbados Tourism Authority;
- And Greg Phillip, the immediate past CEO of the Nevis Tourism Authority, currently CEO of Nevis Sun Tours.
This programme first aired on NewsCo Observer Radio 91.1 FM on January 10, 2021.
