Michelle Hodges, Sales & Reservations Manager for BVI Villa Rental/Coldwell Banker BVI contacted me with the following hurricane recovery update. Michelle said, “Our team is hard at work on Tortola and Virgin Gorda repairing those of our villas that were damaged, however, we want everyone to know that we do have villas that suffered minimal damage and are available now for rental this season!”.

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.
