The USVI Department of Tourism has launched a new Canadian promotional initiative at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Objectives are to bring more Canadian visitors to USVI and also to attract more film productions to the islands.

USVI tourism officials plan to work with their BVI counterparts to get nonstop air service from Toronto.

Tropical Storm Karen last week brought heavy rain to the USVI but without impact on the tourism infrastructure, and business as usual has resumed.
