Just received a message from Dame Peters regarding the status of his business. Dame said, “It is with great joy that I write to inform you that Dame Peters Photography is now fully operational again and fully ready to serve you. It has been a long road back to this point since the devastation of our home country in September by hurricanes Irma and Maria, but with strength and with hope we overcame!” Dame also said that although there is still no city electricity in their area yet, their generator is fully gassed up and their computer systems and cameras are charged and ready to go. If you need photos of weddings, commercial events, private events, portraiture, architectural (your villa or even your boat!), product and food photography Dame is the one to call in the BVI.

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.
