The Virgin Islands is a treasure trove of
beautiful beaches, variety of sea life, and resorts that will keep you coming
back year after year. It’s because of this abundance of beauty and tranquility
that makes the Virgin Islands such a great tourist destination. Thanks to
the United States Virgin Islands Department of Tourism, we are able to share
our islands with the rest of the world and encourage visitors to take advantage
of our many assets.

The United States Virgin Islands
Department of Tourism took a weeklong trip recently to New York, Minneapolis
and Atlanta to promote the USVI. Since the United States Virgin Islands is such
a popular tourist destination, the tourism industry takes up 30% of the
territory’s gross domestic product (GDP). Travelers get a wonderful vacation,
and the territory’s local economy thrives; it’s a win/win for everyone.
Their trip was incredibly successful and
proactive. They were busy talking to countless journalists and members of
the media to share territory updates, and plans on their effort to increase
visitors to the island and what will enhance visitors experience.
In Minneapolis, Commissioner Beverly
Nicholson-Doty was interviewed on “Urban Perspectives”,
a segment that will air on CBS affiliate WCCO-TV this Sunday, March 13th. Commissioner Nicholson-Doty also met with Cleo Greene, a
reporter at ABC affiliate WCCO-TV. She talked about seasonal nonstop service
from Minneapolis to St. Thomas on Sun Country Airlines, convenient connections
on Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, and the important meetings and incentives
market.
While in Atlanta, she took part in a radio
discussion on WSB’s “Perspectives with Condace Pressley” to provide updates and
promote upcoming events in the territory, such as Carnival and Dine VI.
We are very excited about the efforts that
the United States Virgin Islands Department of Tourism has been making to bring
more visitors to the USVI. Tree Limin’ Extreme is the only zip line in the USVI and is a great way to get a unique view of the beautiful island of
St. Thomas. The U.S. Virgin Islands is a perfect getaway for people of all ages and our family
friendly tour is an ideal way to spend a few adrenaline pumping hours
sight-seeing, laughing, and making great memories.
Don’t miss out on a vacation of a
lifetime! With no passport required, a trip to the USVI might be easier than
you think. For more information about the United States Virgin Islands, go to www.VisitUSVI.com.
