Anguilla
Anguilla is developing new initiatives with substantial reasons for incentive and meeting planners. In dealing with the Caribbean, incentive and meeting planners have grown accustomed to common destinations such as the Bahamas, Bermuda, Jamaica, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. But what industry planners truly value is finding something undiscovered — with qualities that can deliver a special and rich experience for their clients or organization. Anguilla is a British overseas territory in the northern Caribbean, consisting of 35 square miles. Some features include 33 white sand beaches considered to be among the best in the world, exclusive luxury resorts and a plethora of dining and activity options. While there is no international airport, the island accommodates luxury jet service without congestion. Anguilla, by design has deliberately
shied away from over-development and mass tourism. OThe 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,O said Marie Walker, director of North America for the Anguilla Tourist Board. An improved website (www.anguilla-vacation.com) now offers a meetings and incentives section that provides 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. American Eagle has non-stop daily flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The neighboring island of St. Maarten also offers another possible route to Anguilla via a seven-minute flight or a 20-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. Anguilla offers many choices to entertain, relax and rejuvenate meeting attendees; including a Greg Norman signature 18-hole golf course, spa and wellness treatments, horseback riding, art galleries and evening entertainment. Destination management companies can provide: group itineraries, themed dinners at private villas, catamaran cruises, snorkel safaris, and scuba diving, as well as custom golf, tennis and volleyball tournaments
