ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Secretary General of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) Mrs Dona Regis-Prosper paid a courtesy call on Acting Premier Honourable Kye M. Rymer (R5) while on an official visit to the Virgin Islands (VI) this week.

According to the Government Information Service (GIS), Hon Rymer welcomed Mrs Regis-Prosper and emphasised the importance of collaboration between the Virgin Islands (VI) and the Caribbean Tourism Organisation.

Mrs Regis-Prosper said it was wonderful to be back in the [British] Virgin Islands, which she considers home having lived in the Territory for four (4) years where she served within the cruise sector and added that it was good to see the significant growth of the island, particularly in airlift.

VI dedicated to tourism - Hon Rymer 

Honourable Rymer highlighted the Virgin Islands' dedication to tourism and said the Government is ensuring that it continues to enhance the destination's appeal while expressing enthusiasm in working with the CTO in areas such as research, data collection, and marketing, to promote the beauty of the VI.

The Secretary-General added that in her discussions with the Acting Premier, there were talks on closer collaboration with the  CTO in areas such as product development, training, and market intelligence so that informed decisions can be made.

Mrs Regis-Prosper also mentioned that although the islands in the Caribbean are singular destinations, when they come together as a Caribbean region, there is a lot of strength in that collaboration.

    Caribbean destinations in the CTO are doing a better job of attracting visitors to their islands than the BVI!
