Board members from the USVI Hotel & Tourism Association and St. Croix Hotel & Tourism Association representing St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix met via conference call today with USVI Commissioner of Tourism Joseph Boschulte to discuss COVID-19 and its local impact. The private and public sectors continue to work closely to monitor COVID-19 and its effect on the territory and economy. Boschulte discussed updates with board members, noting the fluidity of information as the government continues to receive updates and current information every 24 hours. Members are strongly encouraged to visit the Department of Health website at
doh.vi.gov/covid19usvi to receive updates and recommendations for protecting your employees and yourself as well as visitors to the territory. Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands Albert Bryan and Boschulte are currently on the mainland meeting with airline and cruise executives and have noted that our traffic is holding strong. The destination continues to be heavily promoted with no marketing dollars pulled. Please remember to only trust reliable resources when gathering information on COVID-19.
