Foxy is having a party and EVERYONE is invited. Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 24, 2018 to celebrate 50 FOXY YEARS on Jost Van Dyke. After unbelievable destruction to his bar and all of Jost Van Dyke, Foxy has worked to quickly get the world famous Foxy’s Tamarind Bar open for business. Foxy has been on-site constantly, encouraging everyone with his positive songs and spirit! On his Facebook page Foxy said, “The roof is still patchy, there is still random debris. The new “floating dock” makes drunken dinghy rides home a wee bit of a challenge. But we are getting stronger every day. Hope you’re coming to see us soon!” Recently, Foxy’s held their first Famous Friday Beach BBQ of the 2017/2018 season. Rumor has it there was juicy ribs, grilled chicken, mahi mahi and oh that pasta salad to enjoy! Not to mention lots of rum, jokes by Foxy and shakin’ your thing on the dance floor. Foxy says, “Come one, come all to Foxy’s. Even Irmaria can’t hold us back!”
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.
