Hold the presses! The U.S. Virgin Islands will pay YOU to visit.
*I am writing this post from Chicago where my nostrils were freezing together as I took out the fur pals this morning. My bride and I are visiting Spain later this year, but a long weekend here sounds very delightful and necessary real soon.
The U.S. Virgin Islands wants you to visit ― so much so that they’ll give tourists $300 in spending credits for vacations there.
In honor of the centennial celebration of Denmark selling the islands to the United States, travelers who spend at least three consecutive nights on St. Thomas, St. John and/or St. Croix will receive $300 in Virgin Islands spending credits for tours and activities. Visitors who arrive during March will also receive a commemorative souvenir, in recognition of the day Denmark sold the islands, known as “Transfer Day,” on March 31.
It doesn’t matter if you book after the anniversary, as long it’s before Oct. 1 and you travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands during the 2017 calendar year, you’ll get the $300 spending credits.
Interested folks can find the full list of properties on U.S. Virgin Island’s tourism site. And with turquoise waters like these, aren’t you just a tad curious?
