MIAMI, Florida, USA – Virgin Islands Director of Tourism Mr Clive L. McCoy said the Virgin Islands is taking an all-hands-on-deck approach for the 2024 Seatrade Cruise Global event ongoing in Miami, Florida.

“We have met with several companies that are interested in helping us market the destination from a cruise perspective and we also have some other meetings set up with some persons that are interested in helping us build our hospitality and our product in general,” Mr Mccoy said in a video update posted by the Government Information Service.

“Seatrade is an opportunity for us to come together and put our heads together, our minds together to make decisions that are going to ensure that the cruise sector of the British Virgin Islands remains second to none,” he added.

Seatrade Cruise Global is marketed as the world's largest and most renowned cruise event, drawing in over 10,000 cruise professionals, 600 exhibitors, and more than 80 cruise line brands, all representing 120 countries.
