Executive summary

USVI Takes Flight

In May 2007, the US Virgin Islands (USVI) Tourism Department announced a new promotional plan, under the name: "USVI Takes Flight" in addition to reminding US travellers that they do not need passports when visiting the US Virgin Islands. The plan focuses on increased collaboration between the public and private sectors, website redesign, community involvement, improved arrival experiences for visitors, a unified look to promotion campaigns, attracting international and luxury travellers, internet marketing strategies and all-inclusive versus traditional resorts. The department also plans to sell packages to specific market niches, such as scuba divers, or wedding and romance-related packages.

USVI's 90th Anniversary

The USVI Tourism Department, in conjunction with the VI Hotel and Tourism Association, launched "The 90th Anniversary Transfer Day Promotion" in 2007, which was originally offered from May until August, but was later extended from April to October, due to the great demand. During the promotions period, 2,000 tourist packages and 10,000 bed nights were sold. The promotion offered a complementary fifth night at hotels in St Croix, St John and St Thomas, along with up to US$500 in discounts and on activities.

Blue is the BVI

In addition to the "Nature's Little Secrets" campaign launched in 2006, the British Virgin Islands (BVI), with the continued help of "The Zimmerman Agency" unveiled a new campaign, "BVI Blue", in 2007. The campaign refers to the fact that every experience on the Islands seems to happen in, on or around water and continuously emphasises the Islands' natural treasures. It involves new marketing strategies around the "blue" concept, like a new image on the official website.
