Antigua and Barbuda was one of the Caribbean Islands featured recently on the CW network's hit reality television series, America's Next Top Model, which premiered on September 19. During this episode, the cast and crew arrived on "The Royal Caribbean" cruise liner from Puerto Rico to alight on the beautiful shores of Antigua and Barbuda.
The Beach at the Grande Royal Antiguan provided the perfect backdrop for the participants' first fashion photo shoot of the cycle. "Having Antigua and Barbuda as one of the feature destinations on the premiere episode of a top national television program, is an incredibly effective way for us to reach a core target market." Derede Samuel-Whitlock, Director of Tourism in the U. S. said. "In an increasingly competitive marketplace, every bit of product placement helps."
The Department of Tourism in New York worked with producers of the show to coordinate logistics to welcome and host the participants in Antigua.
The show focuses on a group of young women who live together and vie for a modeling contract, as supermodel Tyra Banks mentors them. Now in its ninth cycle, America's Next Top Model is watched by millions of American's between the ages of 18 and 34. Video clips of the show are also available online.
