Antigua a Barbuda na BBC The Apprentice

Úspešný obchodný dokumentárny seriál BBC The Apprentice má premiéru vo Veľkej Británii 5^th z januára 2023.

Antigua a Barbuda Tourism Authority s hrdosťou oznamuje, že popredný svetový verejnoprávny vysielateľ predstaví Antiguu a Barbudu v prvej úplnej epizóde relácie.

V novej sezóne budú súťažiaci súťažiť o to, kto sa stane ďalším obchodným partnerom Lorda Alana Sugara, jedného z najvýznamnejších obchodných magnátov Spojeného kráľovstva, pričom bude súťažiť na ostrove v sérii turistických úloh.

Airing on the BBC this month to tie into the peak holiday booking season, the show will ensure Antigua and Barbuda is front of mind for millions of British travelers tuning in when making their holiday decisions for the year ahead, and beyond.

“There is a lot of excitement for Antigua and Barbuda amongst viewers of the show, who have spotted the teaser and recognized the destination”, said Minister of Tourism and Investment, The Honorable Charles Fernandez. 
 
“Our welcoming people, warm weather, turquoise waters, fantastic cultural sites, amazing restaurants, and unique experiences are going to be splashed across television screens in homes throughout the UK. The highly anticipated first episode for the season is fully dedicated to Antigua and Barbuda. Most importantly, it is airing during a peak booking period which is ideal for us, as we aim to attract travelers thinking of escaping the cold. This is a huge promotion to start off the year and is the momentum that we will continue to build on as we promote Antigua and Barbuda throughout 2023.”
 
After 2.5 years of planning, series 17 will launch with 18 lucky British contestants, and Apprentice judges Karen Brady and Claude Littner, being whisked from the boardroom to the Antigua and Barbuda shores where their first challenge awaits them. Staying at the Royalton Antigua, a total of 65 crew, talent and contributors spent 4 days on island shooting in April in 2022. Split into two teams, Boys vs. Girls, the contestants were tasked with promoting island tours and excursions, the winning team being whoever made the most profit. The girls picked a sea excursion, a catamaran ride with Tropical Adventures that includes some luxury touches, while the boys chose a cultural, historic tour of UNESCO World Heritage Site Nelson’s Dockyard. After learning from our on-the-ground experts, as much as they could to act as guides, the teams went about making deals with local partners and selling excursions to regular tourists.
 
The hour-long episode features many local businesses and locations, from Rum tasting at Shirley Heights with Quin Farara Wine & Spirits to Panache Steel Orchestra pan lessons within the Nelson’s Dockyard National Park, Antigua Yacht Club Marina, Dickenson Bay, Beachlimerz, Tropical Adventures Catamaran, Cedars Pottery and Heritage Quay.  
 
Cherrie Osborne, Director of Tourism UK & Europe for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority said: “We are absolutely delighted to share the culmination of years of planning and hard work and would like to thank all our partners who worked together to make this partnership a reality. After two years of travel restrictions tourism has never been more important, and so inspiring travel to Antigua and Barbuda is not only a top priority for the Tourism Authority, but imperative to the islands’ successful growth and rebound. Antigua and Barbuda will star in one of the UK’s most popular TV shows and this exciting episode will be sure to inspire millions of British travellers to visit the destination for years to come.”
 
The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority will be hosting a private screening at The Royalton on Monday 9^th January 2023, and the episode will be available for watching from 5^th January on BBC iPlayer.
