ABOUT THE USVI CBF SERIES
COVID has impacted the US Virgin Islands economy in ways we could have never imagined. But the USVI is on the path to recovery and it is time to start a new conversation about putting our businesses, and our livelihoods, back together.
This month’s Community Business Forum – Part 2 is about getting businesses ready for the return of cruise ships to the USVI. Royal Caribbean Group will have a conversation with local businesses and anyone wanting to start a business about the type of services their passengers will need, especially under COVID guidelines.
Part of the discussion includes the VI Port Authority’s two-port incentive program to bring more cruise calls to St. Croix and as well the Department of Health’s new Healthy certification program for businesses.
Want more details? Please join the conversation. We want business owners to join, ask their questions and share their thoughts. Register Today!
