James, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, Sandra Joseph, Lydia Paul of the Antigua and Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association, Arlene Marsh, General Manager of Hawksbill Resort, Mario Thomas, Resident Manager of the resort, and members of the Hawksbill Team. Also present were musician Sir Clarence ā€œOungkuā€ Edwards, of Burning Flames, the RT Cultural Performers, and a team from the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.

In his remarks at the ceremony, Tourism Minister, The Honourable Charles Fernandez acknowledged the vital role of the Hawksbill staff in creating memorable experiences that keep visitors returning time and time again.

ā€œHawksbill is such a beautiful property, but it is the people of Hawksbill who are here day in and day out that truly make it special. We continue to advocate that the greatest asset of any hotel property is the people. ā€œYou are what truly makes Antigua and Barbuda stand out!ā€ said Minister Fernandez.

CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James, expressed gratitude to the couple for their loyalty and highlighted the unique charm of Antigua and Barbuda that captivates visitors. James said, ā€œWhen you stand here and you see the hills and the beaches it is a Zen experience – you relax and unwind, and I think that’s the magic that Antigua and Barbuda has – and you have keyed in – and you have bought into that magic.

ā€œSo, we’re extremely proud. We must be doing something right in this beautiful twin island, that we can have people coming back here 100 times. An occasion like this makes our job in tourism meaningful because it’s about creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime. So, on behalf of the Tourism Authority and the marketing team, we want to say thank you for coming. And here’s to another 100 visits!ā€

Reflecting on their experiences over the years, Hugh Campbell shared that, ā€œIt has been a pleasure and a privilege to be here in Antigua and Barbuda. We have enjoyed our stays, from Shirley Heights to Barbuda, to Carnival and Lion’s Den. Here, we truly feel at home – the staff has always welcomed us with open arms. It’s just a marvellous experience.ā€

Resident Manager of Hawksbill Resort, Mario Thomas, in emphasising the connection between the resort and its guests noted, ā€œThat’s right, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell have graced our doors on one hundred separate occasions. Think about that for a moment. Ā One hundred times they have chosen us. One hundred times they’ve trusted us to provide them with comfort, relaxation, and memorable experiences. That level of loyalty, that level of faith in what we do, is truly humbling and deeply appreciated. You, our 100-time guests, are more than just patrons; you’re part of the Hawksbill family.ā€
