Online search engine Bing.com has named Barbuda "Best Caribbean Island for Beaches" in its travel section. According to US Tourism Director Derede Samuel-Whitlock,

"This type of endorsement helps to strengthen the destination's position in the marketplace and comes at an opportune time when all signs point to a resurgence in travel from the United States.

This is just one of many articles in recent months that has singled out the destination's outstanding beaches, particularly the deserted, untouched discoveries in Barbuda."

The brief write-up also mentioned Antigua's 365 beach claim to fame, but said those were too crowded in comparison to Barbuda's  treasures which are "wide, sandy and blessedly deserted". This category was described as one of the hardest to judge.

Tourism officials are planning another press trip, and the director pointed out that this type of coverage is proof that promotional activities in the US continue to bear fruit. 

Over a dozen journalists from the United States have visited the Lighthouse Bay Resort in Barbuda over the past year, and have included aspects of their experiences in their coverage of the destination.

"We intend to increase our promotional efforts in 2011 and we are optimistic about the outlook for the destination, as research shows that Americans are expected to resume travel at record levels," Whitlock noted.
