Welcome to the 21st Annual Destination Symposium where we hope you can sit back, relax and “Change Your Latitude.” To honor this year’s theme, we have planned a host of events and site inspections to show you the ultimate visitors’ experience here in the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands! We are very excited about this year’s hotel site inspections which include everything from the biggest names in the hospitality industry to charming family-owned properties, all unique and picturesque in their own way. We also have a busy schedule planned that includes shopping at internationally-renowned stores while also discovering that hidden gem boutique, days in the sun, afternoons mingling and networking, and evenings learning about our vibrant culture.

Greetings Industry Partners,
We would like to thank the USVI Department of Tourism for their continued support in our efforts to boost local businesses and create a unique and fun atmosphere here in the territory. The department has worked tirelessly to ensure that the U.S. Virgin Islands stand out among the many Caribbean islands available to tourists. In addition, many other government entities and private industries have assisted in our efforts to make the U.S. Virgin Islands a premier travel destination. Although each of us hopes to take home our piece of the pie, every company works together to ensure that we are all successful. This is truly a team effort built on the foundation of a strong community. As always, it would be impossible to bring these events to you without assistance from our generous sponsors. It really does take a whole village to make something work, and we are proud to be a part of a community that recognizes the value of tourism for all. We would like to thank the USVI Department of Tourism, the West Indian Company Limited, Seaborne Airlines, Tropic Tours, Bridal Guide, the New York Times and MyWedding.com for their support, as well as our hosts the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef, Sugar Bay Resort and Spa, Paradise Point Tramway, the Palms at Pelican Cove, Bolongo Bay Beach Resort, the Westin St. John Resort and Villas, Caneel Bay Resort, Best Western Emerald Beach Resort and Windward Passage Hotel. Thank you for joining us for what is sure to be an enjoyable and fruitful week!
