Not to be kept down for long by hurricane Irma, Pusser’s posted the following on their Facebook page recently, “We are happy to announce that Pusser’s Landing in West End / Soper’s Hole and Pusser’s Road Town Pub are open for business. Stop by, say hello and enjoy a great meal or a cool drink!” I was able to dine at Pusser’s Road Town Pub in January while watching the NFL Football Playoffs. I can personally attest that while the outside of the building is damaged, it still looks exactly the same inside as the pre-Irma photo below.
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.
