Last update: 6 hours agoTourism Recognition: Maundays Bay has been named the world’s second-best beach in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. Four Anguilla resorts also made the Caribbean rankings, while the island placed eighth among Caribbean and Atlantic destinations. Tourism Minister Cardigan Connor said the honours underline the need to protect Anguilla’s natural character and sustain high-quality hospitality. Regional Tourism Leadership: Antigua and Barbuda’s Charles Fernandez was elected chair of the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Council of Ministers after Connor nominated him. The appointment gives Anguilla a voice in regional tourism leadership as ministers confront shared challenges, including connectivity and resilience. Air Links: At the opening of Trans Anguilla Airways’ new St Kitts office, Connor called regional air connectivity an “economic lifeline” for tourism, trade and family ties. The airline’s expansion is intended to strengthen links across the Eastern Caribbean. Overseas Territories: A Conservative Friends of Overseas Territories paper urges Britain to renew its approach to the territories, arguing that responsibility is fragmented across departments and governments too often lack a clear Westminster counterpart. Youth Achievement: St Kitts and Nevis cadets took first place overall at the regional drill competition hosted in Anguilla, earning honours for turnout, discipline and drill.
