Antigua
Score: 50

"Classic mass tourism destination. Emphasis on beach tourism. Hotels are generally not energy-conscious. The island has a severe problem with disposal of solid waste. Because hotels are mostly foreign-owned, the local population only receives lower-end wages. The major assets, the beaches, are in danger of overuse and erosion."

"The Heritage Quay area is a wonderful example of integrating the historic heritage with present-day commercial activities.The built heritage all over the island is very rich."

"Because of a notoriously corrupt government, the land is beautiful but relatively uncontrolled. They have lost touch with much of their heritage. One beautiful fortress is preserved by tourism, but there isn't much else along those lines."
