site information - Barbudaful

SUBSCRIBE TO BARBUDAFUL

We do not take random advertising on this site (and believe me, we get asked…) but if you have a link to Barbuda, you are welcome to list your local business or group here at an affordable local rate. Subscriptions run from January to December each year. The subscription service includes your business on the website in the best possible category for you, for one year.

It includes sharing it on barbudaful facebook and responding to questions about Barbuda by directing them to your business. We inform other local and international directories, travel guides and news agencies who ask us for updates or recommendations on Barbuda, and we respond to all what’s app, phone calls and e mail enquiries – for example – Where can I stay on the beach? How do I book a tour? Where is good to eat on Barbuda? Where is the pink sand beach? What is on Barbuda Belle’s menu? We promote Barbudan businesses and other businesses who live here on Barbuda who have Barbuda’s interest at heart, and the following pages tell you how and why you should to do it.

WHY SUBSCRIBE?

Barbudaful is still the only website that features just the island of Barbuda and prioritises our community, our news and our businesses. We do not confuse Antigua with Barbuda/Bermuda/Barbados and we believe in facts, authenticity and accuracy, not in Instagram. Our analytics show us we are consistently reaching over 180 countries out of 195 in the world. We know that 99% of people who come to Barbuda have first looked for and then found the information they need on here and it’s free. We get lots of e mails and we answer them all, and our visitors give us great feedback about the website when we meet them.

WE ARE CONSISTENTLY ON THE FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE WHEN PEOPLE SEARCH FOR BARBUDA

And we get noticed (and visited) by writers and journalists updating information about Barbuda and our place in the Caribbean; including tourism publications Conde Nast Traveller, Footprint, Lonely Planet, Superyachts Guide and the various Antigua and Barbuda guides. We are often referenced in the international media when they write about Antigua and Barbuda and we ALWAYS chase them if they miss us out or misrepresent us.

WE KNOW THAT LOCAL BUSINESSES BENEFIT FROM A WEBSITE LIKE THIS

Most travellers want to engage with the community directly, using the site to look for locally-owned accommodation, our amazing food produce and tours where you meet the real experts. They are looking online for this information before they come and looking online when they are here. They will find our facebook page listings of events and activities as they happen and this includes church events, food fairs, horse-race, music events, fishing tournaments and other local activities.

WE WRITE THIS

For Barbudans living overseas (especially those of Barbudan descent who have yet to visit home) our Caribbean neighbours (including those in Antigua who are often confused about the differences between us) and visitors and travellers around the world who have never been to Barbuda but want to come one day. We try to post facts not fiction, accurate and up to date information and positive images of the island, and we believe in self-determination and sustainable progress, so we speak out against negative views of Barbuda and the people in our community. We are definitely not in favour of destructive, badly built, tasteless, concrete over-development, and money grabbing unscrupulous developers – if any of you are reading this.

WE HAVE CREDENTIALS

We have been contacted by many international organisations such as the Huffington Post who featured Barbuda with all their links going to this website, and Virgin Atlantic who asked us to participate in filming their in-flight video here on Barbuda. Following Hurricane Irma this website was of special interest to the rest of the world (although every one of us represented here was gone overnight) and so we contributed to the island receiving much needed, well informed media attention and pro-active and compassionate international support. We are taken seriously and people follow our site.
