Germaine Fritz, owner of A Dream Come True Villa on Virgin Gorda, contacted me with the following update. She said, “I’m writing to announce that A Dream Come True Villa will be accepting guests again starting July 1, 2018! We have replaced just about everything in our 6,500 sq. ft.villa since Irma, including the pool, kitchen, appliances and furnishings, and also have repainted it inside and out.”

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
