BVI should fix its tourism corridors — Flax-Brutus

Former BVI Tourist Board Director Sharon Flax-Brutus has called on the government to prioritise enhancing the territory’s key tourism access points to improve the overall visitor experience.

Speaking on the Talking Points radio show on October 7, Flax-Brutus highlighted several shortcomings in the current state of the BVI’s tourism infrastructure. Flax-Brutus, now a tourism experience curator, expressed concerns about the BVI’s arrival experience at various ports of entry. She said that while improvements have been made at the airport, the situation at the ferry terminals remains substandard.

“I believe that we treat the bags as the VIPs rather than the guests and the residents getting off the boat,” Flax-Brutus said while recalling a recent experience she had travelling through one of the territory’s local ports. Flax-Brutus urged the government to take immediate steps to address these issues, particularly by fixing the main tourism corridors.
