June, known as Romance Month in Antigua, the Romance Capital of the Caribbean, helps couples keep the passion burning with special deals and romance packages at select hotels. Sandals Grande Antigua has consistently been voted “Most Romantic Resort in the World” for more than ten years. With the ability to facilitate same day weddings, since there is no residency requirement, there are no delays in exchanging vows in this hot spot and now, through their performances and by the special planting of trees, celebrities have become messengers of love and are helping to spread the destination’s theme -- love, peace and unity.
US Director of Tourism, Derede Samuel-Whitlock, who accompanied the group advised that “the celebrities participating in our Romance Month promotion indicated their willingness to participate in Planting Trees of Love to also commemorate their visit ”.
The Romance Month promotions, launched in 2006, are designed to give visitors and residents a chance to "feel the love" of the destination and combine all of the entertainment elements that keep romance alive to promote the destination as one of the most romantic hot spots in the Caribbean.
