Antigua Cruise Port (ACP) is stepping up its training of industry partners, as it
prepares for what is likely to be another very good winter tourist season, starting
later in the year.
ACP has launched the second edition of its community training series, Summer
Cool II, which is a series of four one-day sessions, targeting different groups that
operate within the Heritage Quay complex.
“The four, one-day training event, focuses on preparing Antigua Cruise Port
employees and external stakeholders for the upcoming cruise season. The
complimentary sessions will be conducted by Antigua Cruise Port and Global Ports
Holding staff,” a media release from the ACP stated.
The first course is called “The State of the Cruise Industry” and will be on July
11th. It will give attendees an update on the sector and projections for upcoming
seasons. The next session will be July 13th and focuses on International Ship and
Port Facility Code (ISPS) Awareness training.
“This is an essential course for those who operate within the port and its
surrounding areas, such as tour operators, agents, and taxi drivers. Business owners
and other interested individuals can join the “Easy and Practical Maintenance
Tips” session on July 18 th ,” according to the release.
Finally, the “How to Market Your Business” training will be on July 20th. All
sessions will be held at Antigua Cruise Port Conference Room, located upstairs at
Heritage Quay and they will start at 9:00 a.m. with a 90-minute duration. However,
the ISPS Awareness training will be for 3 hours. The “How to Market Your
Business” training will be online, via Zoom.
ACP General Manager Dona Regis-Prosper said, “We’re continuing to build on
our social commitment. We want to share our knowledge with our partners and
further develop the cruise sector. The upcoming season will be busy, and we want
to ensure that people are prepared to operate optimally when that time comes.”
