Ua ʻōlelo ʻia hiki ke loaʻa nā kahakai 365 ma ka lāhui, hoʻokahi no kēlā me kēia lā o ka makahiki. Maikaʻi a ʻaʻole paha, home ka lāhui i ka kahakai keʻokeʻo a me ka poni one maikaʻi loa ma ka Caribbean. He kahakai lōʻihi a pīhoihoi ʻo Dickenson Bay, kaomi pinepine ʻia me nā kānaka a piha i nā hopena like ʻole i hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia, mai ka huakaʻi ʻana i ka moku kīʻaha kīʻaha a i ka heʻe maiʻa a lele lele ʻana. ʻO Pigeon Point ke kahakai ākea ākea ma ke kahakai hema, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau, ʻauʻau, a me ka sunbathe. ʻAʻole naʻe kamaʻāina, Half Moon Bay kahi kaʻawale a haʻalele pinepine ʻia i kahakai, kūpono no ka poʻe makemake e neʻe iā lākou āpau.
Hoʻonohonoho pinepine ʻia ka verdure kūloko i nā wahi remoter a me nā ala piʻi piʻi. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā mokupuni ma kahi o 100 mau ʻano o nā holoholona ʻēheu, no ka laʻana, ka ʻaeto liʻiliʻi, pelican kala honua, a me nā ʻona like ʻole. ʻO Barbuda kahi home o nā puʻuhonua manu nui ma ka honua, ʻo Codrington Lagoon National Park, kahi e noʻonoʻo nui nei i ka mea hulu frigate. Hoʻopiha nā palahalaha ʻoi aku ma ke ʻano he hale haʻuki jungle submerged hohonu no nā mea lele ikaika a me nā ʻauʻau. ʻO Cades Reef, i ka wahi o St. Mary, kahi pono loa no kēlā me kēia ʻauʻau ikaika a me ka mea luʻu. ʻO ka mokupuni ʻo Antigua a me Barbuda ka mahele o ke kālepa o ka Caribbean, me nā kahakai a me nā wahi hoʻokipa maikaʻi loa ma ka honua. Pēlā nō ia ka home no ka poʻe ʻoluʻolu paha āu e ʻike ai. He aha ka Antigua a me Barbuda i kū hoʻokahi ai kona hiki ke mālama i kāna Caribbean maoli i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā malihini kipa nui a me nā kūlana maikaʻi. Kuhi ʻo Antigua i hoʻokahi kahakai i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. E haʻi ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki ke wehewehe ʻia kahi ʻāpana holoʻokoʻa e pili ana i kēia, akā no ka wikiwiki, hoʻomanaʻo i nā hiʻohiʻona Half Moon Bay no ke kahakai hema, noʻonoʻo pinepine e pili ana i kahi koho maikaʻi loa o ka mokupuni. ʻAʻole huki ia i nā helu like o nā kino me nā kahakai ʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ʻo ka mea i aloha nui ʻia e nā Windurfers.
Hoʻolilo ka mana lehulehu i kahi 2.5 pākēneka e manaʻo ʻia o kāna GDP ma ke aʻo ʻana, me 91 pākēneka o nā haumāna i kākau inoa ʻia e hoʻopau ana i nā makahiki he ʻehiku o ke aʻo ʻana. Loiloi ʻia nā kāne e hoʻolilo i ka maʻamau o 12 mau makahiki i ke kula, a me nā wahine 13. Kupanaha, ʻo ka mahele o nā wahine i ke keikikāne e hele nei me kā lākou kula i hala ma mua ke kula koho koho ʻelua a hoʻokahi.
ʻOiai he manuahi ka mokupuni, hana maoli lākou ma lalo o kahi aupuni i hoʻokumu ʻia, e hōʻike nei i ka mōʻī Pelekane Pelekane Elizabeth II, i kamaʻilio ʻia e ke kiaʻāina-General Rodney Williams, ʻo ia nō ko lākou poʻo aupuni. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi Kuhina Nui, Gaston Browne, a me ʻelua mau hale hoʻomalu, ka Senate a me ka hale o nā lunamakaʻāinana, i ʻae ʻia e ke kumukānāwai.
ʻO Antigua lāua ʻo Barbuda he mau mea pahuhopu a lawe i nā lāhui no ka hoʻohana kūwaho ʻole, nā hana pili wahine a me nā hana kaohi. Hōʻike ʻia nā hōʻike e pili ana i ka moekolohe me ke ʻano o ka moekolohe e like me ka mea i hana ʻia ma nā kaola a me nā hale hoʻokamakama, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hana kaohi ʻia, ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā home home a me nā wahi kūʻai. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā mokupuni no ka hoʻāʻo wiwo ʻole e pepehi i ka hoʻohana kūwaha ʻole, nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā hihia i nānā ʻia e like me ka hopena.
ʻO ka ʻoihana huakaʻi he pūnāwai maikaʻi ia o ka GDP o nā mokupuni, e like me ka maʻamau ma ka wahi Caribbean. Ke hana nei i 60% o ka $ 2.4 biliona GDP maʻamau, ʻaʻole pono ia e pīhoihoi i kekahi mea ʻo 80% o ka poʻe hana i ka ʻoihana hoʻokele.
ʻOiai i noho ʻia e ka Pelekania, ua lilo ke kō i lilo i uku nui loa na Antigua. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka waiho ʻana ma ke ʻano he ala e hōʻeleu ai i ke kaʻapuni hoʻolilo. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kēia mau kauā i ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāiwa, ua kūkulu ka hapa nui o ka poʻe Antiguan i ka makemake no ka hoʻomalu ʻana, ʻoiai ua makemake kekahi e hoʻohālikelike i nā ʻano like me nā ʻāina Caribbean ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hoʻokele ka ʻano lawena ʻike nui ʻia ma Antigua a me Barbuda, me nā kalaiwa i hoʻohana ākea ʻia, a me nā kalaiwa he nui, i nā hanana āpau, e lawe huakaʻi ana i nā huakaʻi huakaʻi. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā papahana halihali akā hoʻohana pinepine ʻole ʻia. Eia kekahi, holo pinepine nā moku a me nā moku kokoke, a aia nā huakaʻi i waena o Antigua a me Barbuda.
ʻO nā kamaʻāina i nā mokupuni e maʻa maʻamau, me nā wā e hiki mai ana no nā kāne ma kahi o 75 mau makahiki, a me nā wahine ma 79 makahiki. Hoʻohana ʻia ka 5.5 pākēneka o ka GDP a ka lāhui i ke olakino, e hōʻoia ana ma kahi o 91 pākēneka o ka poʻe i hoʻokokoke i nā wahi sterilization kūpono e hoʻomaka ana ma 2011.
ʻOiai ʻo ka helu o ka hana ma Antigua a me Barbuda he 11 pākēneka, ua ʻike ka poʻe i loaʻa nā uku paʻa i ka hana hou o kēia manawa, a ua hoʻokau paʻa ʻia. I ka makahiki 2008, ua helu ʻia no ia 97 mau pākēneka o nā ʻohana i loaʻa nā kīwī kīwī, a i ka 2013, no kēlā me kēia kanaka 1,000, aia he 1,271 mau lālā kelepona paʻalima.
Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi, ʻo ka papa hana nui ma ka mokupuni ka ʻoihana a me ka mahiʻai. Hoʻokomo nā mea mahiʻai mahiʻai i ka pulupulu, nā huahana o ka lepo, kō, a me nā holoholona holoholona. Hoʻokomo nā hana mua i ka conspicuous ʻo ka ʻoihana huakaʻi, hoʻomohala ʻana, a me ka hōʻuluʻulu māmā ʻana o nā mea, no ka laʻana, ka lole a me ka waiʻona.
ʻAʻohe o Antigua lāua ʻo Barbuda mau nīnau koʻikoʻi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa a mālama i ka maluhia maoli. He ʻāpana like kā lākou o nā uku ukulele, e like me Polani, Cameroon, ka US pū kekahi, UK lākou e lawe mai no ka hapa nui mai ka US ma kahi ʻē aʻe, Sepania.
