Antigua's municipal plans (PDTM 2025-2029, POT) and tourist flow

- Building in Antigua: the heritage rules
- Audited
The Municipal Tourism Development Plan 2025-2029 (Municipality + INGUAT + CityLab) creates a Destination Management Organization and a tourism information system, diversifies towards the outlying villages and sets the 2032 vision of the 'best city to live in, visit and invest in' (mayor Juan Manuel Asturias). The municipal land-use plan (POT) classifies land as urban, expansion, rural or protected; Plaza Pública criticises it for attracting new residents without covering local needs; its approval date and the approving agreement are still to be verified. Antigua's Sustainable Tourism Observatory (INGUAT) recorded 971,930 non-resident visitors and US$277.4 M of estimated foreign-exchange earnings in 2024. Holy Week pressure: 641,704 arrivals in 2025 (19% of the national total of 3,423,890; 149,978 of them foreign), against 1,209,622 (37%) in 2024. The municipality's population was not found in a citable source.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
