US Virgin Islands paying people to visit them this year
The US Virgin Islands are paying tourists to
visit its beautiful beaches this year in celebration of its
100th anniversary of being part of the United States.
All
you need to do is book the trip through the island’s tourism website before
October 1 and stay at a participating hotel on one of the main islands of Saint
Croix, Saint John and Saint Thomas. You will be given $300 to spend on a range
of tours and activities, including kayaking and diving, CNBC reported.
December, January and February tend to be
peak seasons for tourists and flights are offered from the east coast. Tourists
visiting the islands on March 31 will also receive a souvenir in honour of
“transfer day,” which celebrates the centennial of Denmark selling the islands
to the US.
The Caribbean islands are located to the
south east of Florida, have a population of just over 100,000 and are
classified as a “Non-Self-Governing Territory” by the United Nations. It should
be noted, however, that the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
issued a travel notice for the area to anyone who is pregnant or expecting to
become pregnant due to the Zika virus.
