By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 21, 2017

The U.S. Virgin Islands is expanding its popular travel credit promotion.

The USVI’s Department of Tourism has launched a new program called “Centennial PLUS” to coincide with the destination’s 100th anniversary as a U.S. territory.

Now, the package offers $400 in “VI Spending Credits” along with a fourth night free for travelers who book trips with participating tour operators.

The credits can be easily redeemed across the territory at restaurants, retail shops, attractions and activities.

The new package builds on the success of the USVI’s popular $300 spending credit incentive.

A four-night stay must be booked through tour operator partners through June 1 for travel between June 1 and Oct. 31, 2017.

“Given the success of our Centennial promotion, we wanted to sweeten our offer so travelers can get an authentic taste of our islands during this historic year in our Territory,” said Commissioner of Tourism Beverly Nicholson-Doty.

Participating tour operators include American Airlines Vacations, Apple Vacations, CheapCaribbean.com, Costco Travel, Delta Vacations (MLT), Expedia Inc., Flight Center Travel Group (Libgo), JetBlue Vacations, Pleasant Holidays, Travel Impressions and Tourico Holidays.
