Antigua and Barbuda is a small island country located in the Caribbean Sea. She is an unimportant island in history, but at the present time, she is a tourist country that is not important, that’s why nobody attacks her. She is calm, and aside from tourism, she also has fishing as a source of economy.

Antigua and Barbuda have 365 beaches, just like how a non leap year has 365 days.

History

In 1981, British Antigua gained independence, becoming Antigua and Barbuda. The nation experienced significant events, including the 1989 devastating Hurricane Hugo, which caused extensive damage. In 2004, Antigua and Barbuda joined the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) to enhance economic cooperation. The country has also been active in regional politics, partially hosting the 2007 Cricket World Cup and participating in various international organizations to bolster her global presence. Personal income tax was abolished in 2016 to attract more rich people. In 2017, Hurricane Irma rendered Barbuda uninhabitable, but her population began to recover in 2018.

Economy

Tourism dominates the Antigua-Barbuda economy, accounting for more than half of the GDP. As a destination for the most affluent travelers, A&B is well known for her extensive collection of five-star resorts. However, weaker tourist activity in lower and middle market segments since the beginning of the year 2000 has slowed the economy and put the government into a tight fiscal corner. Antigua and Barbuda has enacted policies to attract high-net-worth citizens and residents, such as abolishing personal income tax in 2016.

Cuisine

Antigua-Barbuda' cuisine is mostly of European origin ( UK and Portugal) with regional ingredients. Fungee (pronounced "foon-jee") and pepperpot are the national dishes. Fungee, also known as cou-cou, is a cornmeal-based dish. Other national foods include saltfish (cod), lobster (from Barbuda), ducana (a sweet dumpling made from sweet potatoes and coconut), and seasoned rice, similar to the rise dish arroz con pollo. Additionally, there are confections such as peanut brittle, sugar cake (made from coconut and sugar), fudge, and raspberry (local) and tamarind stew (sauce).

The Antigua black pineapple is prized for its juicy, sweet flesh. It is a well-liked fruit in the area and is included in many regional specialties and sweets. It is said to be the sweetest variety of pineapple.
