Virgin Island Summer Travel Down dute to Reduced Cruise Ship traffic
The decision to redeploy Cruise ships to Asia from the Caribbean has reduced the volume of cruise passengers by 25% in the Virgin Islands and most noticeably St. Thomas. Overall airplane traffic remained steady for the summer, and the hotels are showing an occupancy for St. Thomas and St. John at 73%, great numbers for the off season.
The biggest increase in travelers is from Europe as they are taking advantage of the weak US dollar.
