Dear Source:
In reference to the articles about the V.I. Tourism Department's commercials in the Northeast, I would like to respond.
Residents living in the Northeast have always enjoyed the U.S. Virgin Islands. It seemed as though whenever you asked tourists staying in the islands where they're from they will name Philadelphia, Boston, or New York as their home. I hope the V.I. continues to pursue this market to maintain your number one employer: tourism.
I have seen sporadic commercials in the Philadelphia area promoting the islands, but they are there. I hope the Tourism Department continues to go aggressively after this market.
Come back to the islands … your islands. Sound familiar?
Chris Williams
