USVI Welcomes African American Travelers

The United States Virgin Islands declared diversity was key to strengthening their marketing and pledged to continue to actively pursue the robust African American market in the United States.

The announcement was made last week at the African American Museum in Philadelphia by Luana Wheatley, Assistant Director of Communications for the USVI Department of Tourism.

The seasoned public relations professional from the U.S. Virgin Islands confirmed the huge value of the specialized African American community when she addressed the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Founders' Reception.

Wheatley congratulated the leading journalists' organization on its 36th Convention and Career Fair, and signaled the continued commitment of the Territory to working with journalists of color across the United States to highlight the history, heritage, natural beauty, shopping and attractions of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
