It is being held from September 27 to 30.

Premier Fahie said he and his delegation will host and engage in key strategic meetings with stakeholders to bolster the restart of the BVI’s industry.

A media release for the Premier’s Office said the delegation will also engage several independent business operators including vendors, cruise operators, BVI tour Ambassadors, tour operators, attractions, activity suppliers, bars and restaurants.
