Joseph Boschulte, Commissioner of Tourism for the USVI, said “Travel advisory community played a vital role in USVI’s success during the pandemic and this new program is meant to reward their efforts and cement those terrific relationships as well as build avenues for new advisors with incentives to book the USVI. It’s a proactive way to stay connected to the travel advisory community and build lasting relationships.”

Already the program looks to be successful as there are already 62 bookings registered since Dec. 1, and almost 300 travel advisors have signed up for the program.

The rewards and incentives are found online at USVIRewards.com. Advisors can redeem points for merchandise in the store and some of the awards will have a cultural connection with the USVI.

There will be opportunities to win spots on the USVI’s familiarization (FAM) trips, and hotel nights at participating hotels.
