Anguilla courting meetings and incentive market
Island offers solitude and luxury
virginvoices.com staff
Anguilla is developing new initiatives with substantial reasons for incentive and meeting planners to take a closer look at its unspoiled, tropical island getaway.
This small island has a huge reputation, as a great place to get away from it all.
This British territory tucked away in the northern Caribbean is just 35 square miles, with nearly a beach for each one.
Exclusive luxury resorts, and award winning dining in more than 100 restaurants make it the place to be pampered.
The island also offers villas, guest houses, self-catering apartments, and cottages to suit a variety of different tastes and budgets.
You won’t find any rowdy crowds, big cruise ships or cheap souvenirs.
Anguilla has been spared from mass tourism. The island exudes warmth and is genuinely welcoming, small and secluded.
Marie Walker, Director of North America, for the Anguilla Tourist Board (ATB). observes that the “ intimacy of the island, our old-fashioned hospitality, and our high levels of service make Anguilla the idyllic setting for small, high-level, executive board or group meetings and top-tier incentive programs.”
Anguilla’s upgraded web site now offers ameetings and incentives section for planners with a downloadable brochure, listings of hotels with group capabilities, sample itineraries, ways to download requests for proposals for Anguillan properties and information on site inspection programs.
Getting to Anguilla is easy. American Eagle has non-stop daily flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Neighboring St. Maarten offers access to Anguilla via a seven-minute flight or a twenty-minute ferry from Marigot Bay.
Private executive jet charter can also be arranged from San Juan to Anguilla via Anguilla Air Express on Rainbow International Airlines.
