According to an article in the VI Consortium, Virgin Island Tourism has seen a rebound after “Covid-related decimation of the industry” and that reports “show that from June 2021 to May 2022, the USVI had the highest hotel occupancy in the region.” Here are some highlights:
- Tourism Commissioner Joseph Boschulte said over 450,000 people traveled to the USVI in the first three months of 2022, and the visitor arrivals were up 153 percent compared to the same period in 2021.
- Reports show the territory had the highest average daily rate in the region at $637 during that same time period.
- USVI tourism also led in revenue per available room at $461.61.
The VI Tourism officials has a rosy outlook for 2023. Transportation Security Administration data showed that the USVI was the fastest-growing location for total airlift capacity in the Americas from 2019 to 2021. Additionally, the USVI cruise industry is expected to see triple the numbers of passengers in St Croix’s cruise port in Frederiksted in 2023.
