Where to travel 2022: The best destinations to go
Travel is more challenging now than it has been in a long time. Borders tentatively reopen only to slam shut again. A once-simple visa on entry is replaced with piles of paperwork. And the whole world is brushing up on the Greek alphabet whenever a new variant makes headlines.
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA
Not only is the twin-island nation blessed with miles and miles of pristine white and pink sands -- Antigua famously has a beach for every day of the year -- its also lays claims to the longest running Sunday party in the Caribbean, which takes place at restored military lookout Shirley Heights.
Barbuda, the smaller of the two islands, was famously one of Princess Diana's favorite vacation spots, while veteran actor Robert De Niro co-owns a resort in the area with Australian billionaire James Packer.
Cricket is a massive deal here, so the England Tests, which are being held in Antigua in 2022, are one of the most anticipated events of the year. The official test match between England and the West Indies will take place at the stadium named after Antiguan cricketing legend Vivian Richards in March.
Antigua and Barbuda has been gaining recognition for its sustainability efforts in recent years thanks to a number of successful green initiatives. Single-use plastics are banned, while the "Green Corridor," a collection of environmentally friendly hotels, resorts and businesses has been established across the southwest coast of Antigua. -- Tamara Hardingham-Gill
