As part of an ongoing celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Caribbean island’s secession from St Kitt’s, the Anguilla Tourist Board last week honoured key travel industry partners with the “Anguilla 40 Awards.”
The awards were presented as part of a gala dinner event at the Pierre Hotel and celebrated the rise of Anguilla to its position as one of the premier island destinations for the world’s most discerning travelers.
“The transformation of our island, which began in the late 70’s and accelerated during the 80’s and 90’s, has been nothing short of remarkable,” said Anguilla Director of Tourism Amelia Vanterpool-Kubisch. “We enjoy one of the highest standards of living and per-capita incomes in the Caribbean, we have full employment, and most importantly, through it all, we have retained the unique and distinctive character of our island.”
Without doubt Anguilla is a fantastic success story for the Caribbean.
