BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission Making Powerful Impact at Virtuoso Travel Week 2023
The British Virgin Islands Tourist Board & Film Commission (BVITBFC) is making a powerful impact at Virtuoso Travel Week, held from 12 to 18 August 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the success of their participation last year, the BVITBFC delegation is focused on strengthening relationships with travel advisors, providing updates on the destination, and propelling the thriving tourism industry of the BVI forward.
Virtuoso is a leading global network of luxury travel advisors, who collaborate with top destinations and a select portfolio of the best travel brands worldwide. Travelers who have a Virtuoso Advisor gain access to expert knowledge, exclusive travel perks, support throughout their journeys, and, most importantly, enhanced experiences in the places they visit.
Led by Perla George, the Business Development Director of Tourism, the BVITBFC delegation includes key individuals who play a crucial role in promoting the British Virgin Islands as a premier travel destination. Alongside Ms. George are Odelcer Hanley, the International Marketing Manager, and Safrika O’Neal (Mid-Atlantic) and Shonda Maduro (Northeast), the Regional Business Development Managers.
This year’s participation at Virtuoso Travel Week promises to be highly productive, with the BVITBFC team having meticulously arranged approximately 200 meetings and appointments. Safrika O’Neal, Shonda Maduro, Perla George, and Odelcer Hanley are engaging in meaningful discussions with travel advisors, tour operators, and media representatives, further solidifying the BVI’s status as a top-tier travel destination.
In addition to the BVITBFC team, the delegation is joined by some of its tourism industry partners who are also Virtuoso Preferred and attending the event. These partners include Virgin Limited (Necker Island and Moskito Island), Rosewood Little Dix Bay, The Moorings, and Guana Island.
The BVITBFC team’s presence at Virtuoso Travel Week demonstrates the British Virgin Islands’ enduring commitment to its global travel partners. By actively engaging with top luxury travel professionals and providers from around the world, the BVI aims to showcase its exceptional, safe, and captivating offerings while fostering valuable connections that drive business growth.
Clive McCoy, the Director of Tourism, remarked, “As we navigate through the dynamic landscape of the travel industry, our engagement at Virtuoso Travel Week is a pivotal opportunity to showcase BVI’s authentic attractions and our valued industry partners. We remain committed to driving economic growth and showcasing the unique experiences the BVI has to offer.”
