USVI giving $ for 2017 tourists?
I just watched a video that said USVI is giving out $300.00 to tourist in 2017. Is this true???
Yep... meanwhile we cant get our tax returns for 4 years. Getting over it all pretty damn quick.
Its for certain hotels and its $300 in vouchers to use at participating tours on the islands. but that money is coming from somewhere and you bet your A its from OUR pockets.
This is nothing new. The USVI Tourism Bureau has been providing vouchers/coupons for years as part of accommodation booking promotion. Guests pickup the vouchers when they check-in and can use them like cash at participating merchants. The merchants get reimbursed for the vouchers they collect. This is paid for out of the hotel tax.

I DONT mind this promotion. if it gets people to come down here and spend money on our islands
Lots of tourist destinations do this sort of thing.
Bahamas will even pay for plane tickets to outer islands I think
