Sunrise, Fl., March 29, 2006 -- SNC Destinations today announced that it will be partnering with Carib-World
Travel of Antigua and Barbuda to bring more destination options to U.S. meetings and incentives clients.
Carib-World Travel becomes the fourth independently-owned destination management company (DMC)
represented nationally by SNC Destinations, a Sunrise, Fla.-based company that assists U.S. meeting planners
and incentive travel buyers with destination management options throughout the Caribbean. Other DMC
partners include Carib Travel, St. Lucia; Great Vacations, Jamaica; and The Travel Centre, Trinidad and
Tobago.
“We look forward to adding Carib-World Travel and the islands of Antigua and Barbuda to our portfolio,” says
Simone Champagnie, Director of Business Development for SNC Destinations. “Similar to our other
destination partners, I have known and worked closely with Pamela Arthurton [Owner] of Carib-World Travel
for almost ten years, and we are confident that her team is a perfect fit for us in the meeting and incentive
market.”
Carib-World Travel, formed in 1973 on the island of Montserrat, relocated to Antigua in 1996 due to volcanic
activity in Montserrat and now maintains two branches in Antigua.
“For meetings, retreats, or incentive trips for individuals and groups, Antigua offers its rich history, beautiful
coral reefs, choice of sport and leisure activities, and luxury resorts providing world-class service and
amenities,” Champagnie states. The largest of the Leeward Islands, the destination also lends itself to day trips
to neighboring islands.
“Pamela maintains a house on our modern day Pompeii, Montserrat, where she hosts day trips allowing guests
to look down from her house on to the buried capital of Plymouth, or across at the active volcano,” Champagnie
continues. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for groups.”
On April 1, SNC Destinations officially launches Carib-World Travel on its website
(
Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEA) with the United States, allowing U.S. companies to take the
same tax deductions as they would for a U.S.-based meeting.
