    What are you marketing if they can't come to the BVI? What did I miss? Today is Feb 16th and still no word on whether sea ports will open on the announced date of 1 March.

    It ain’t easy to get there. Meanwhile, lots of folks are going to the US Vi side and finding it’s pretty decent, without some of the attitude, and constant fees arriving, leaving and in between.

    Why market Saba rock and Bitter End? Saba is not open and bitter end has barely begun construction? Must be nice to get these consultancy jobs at tourist board.

    How many have participated? How do we view this ourselves? Where are the writeups of this as news releases from the different entities? Will the ports open on March 1? That would be the very first question.
