In a recent strategic meeting focused on bolstering Antigua and Barbuda’s sports and tourism ecosystems, Dwayne George, Minister of Sports and Creative Industries, sat down with senior management from Cedar Valley Golf Course to map out a forward-looking development roadmap for the iconic facility.
The closed-door discussion centered on two core priorities: expanding the golf course’s existing contribution to the nation’s fast-growing sports tourism segment, and locking in its status as one of Antigua and Barbuda’s top-tier sporting and recreational hubs. Both sides exchanged actionable ideas to update operations, upgrade visitor experiences, and align the venue’s growth with national tourism goals, according to official statements released after the meeting concluded.
Minister George used the meeting to reaffirm the Antigua and Barbuda government’s unwavering commitment to investing in initiatives that deliver three layered benefits: inclusive sports development, broad-based economic expansion, and deeper community engagement. He emphasized that Cedar Valley Golf Course is far more than a recreational spot — it is a critical national asset that caters to both local golf enthusiasts and international travelers, adding significant value to the country’s overall tourism offering.
For years, Cedar Valley Golf Course has held a reputation as a cornerstone of Antigua and Barbuda’s sports infrastructure, drawing consistent interest from both residents planning weekend outings and tourists seeking world-class leisure activities during their stay. Moving forward, the national government has pledged to sustain collaborative work with all relevant stakeholders to advance development projects that lift the broader sports and recreation sector, while simultaneously strengthening Antigua and Barbuda’s global reputation as a premier destination for sporting events and active travel.
This meeting marks the latest step in the government’s ongoing push to leverage existing sports assets to drive economic growth and position the twin-island nation as a top sports tourism hotspot in the Caribbean.
