Phase one of the partnership will focus on brand awareness, particularly targeting travel advisors and residents in Puerto Rico, promoting Anguilla as a premier destination for discerning travelers.

Additionally, the ATB will engage in destination campaigns and trade presentations to further strengthen awareness within the travel trade.
