Changes are coming to St. Thomas! I am glad to see that the recent improvements scheduled for the US Virgin Islands are focused on St. Thomas. Over the past few years, St. John has taken the lead as the most popular US Virgin Island with St. Croix in a close second. But what happened to St. Thomas? It was catering to tourists on a mass-market scale long before its sister islands. I think it was a combination of a shift in the marketplace and lack of attention to the once booming island. Most of my visitors to the USVI want places off the beaten track so St. John and St. Croix fit the bill. The USVI government has decided “if you build it, they will come” – a mega yacht club that is. The Yacht Haven Grande is set to debut in March and will offer accommodations and amenities to mega yachts and their owners. Opening this December is the $28Million Crown Bay Plaza offering all the upscale shopping a gal could wish for! And to show off these changes, the island is increasing its air lift from many cities.
