Anguilla´s Arawak Beach Creates Package for First-Time U.S. Passport Holders

With the December 31 deadline for the implementation of the first phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative looming –it will require U.S. travelers to the Caribbean to be in possession of a passport to reenter the U.S.- one Caribbean hotel has jumped in with a plan to get first-timers to apply for their passports.

Arawak Beach Inn in Anguilla launched its Passport to Paradise package to encourage prospective Caribbean travelers to get their first passport and have Anguilla be the premier stamp in it.

The four-night program, valid for travel through June 30, 2007, features accommodations and a complimentary day excursion to a secluded beach on an uninhabited island with a gourmet picnic lunch.

The package also is available for veteran passport holders with two or more Anguilla stamps in their passports.
