Personal Space Etiquette in Antigua and Barbuda

People in Antigua and Barbuda are generally warm and sociable, so brief close conversation, handshakes, and friendly touches are more common than in more reserved cultures, but you should still avoid crowding someone or standing too close if they step back. In busy markets, buses, or at lively gatherings, personal space can shrink naturally, while in formal settings and with elders it is better to keep a respectful distance and let the other person set the tone.
