Antigua & Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda is a small, high-income Caribbean twin-island nation whose economy is built overwhelmingly on tourism, which directly and indirectly drives most activity and employment.

Heavy dependence on tourism leaves it vulnerable to global downturns and hurricanes, and the government has cultivated offshore finance and citizenship-by-investment programs as additional revenue.

Key Sectors

The economy is dominated by tourism, including yachting and cruise calls, alongside offshore financial services and a citizenship-by-investment program; most goods are imported.
