(Antigua Observer) For two young Antiguans and Barbudans, the rowing adventure of a lifetime is about to start with a challenge that places the country’s nautical prowess on full display, and the Ministry of Tourism and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) have thrown their full support behind the seamen.
Yesterday, the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge ‘Team Antigua Pairs’ team of Joseph Nunes and Travis Weste was presented with flight sponsorship by the ministry and the ABTA.
“We at the Ministry of Tourism signed a contract to sponsor the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, and so it is very fitting that we have Antiguans represented in the race,” Minister of Tourism Charles “Max” Fernandez said during the presentation.
