2 Page 2 of 18 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY The Department of Tourism was established on May 8, 1995 as an executive department. The Department of Tourism was formerly a part of the Virgin Islands Economic Development & Agriculture. EDA was then broken down into different departments with the Department of Tourism as one of them. The department is primarily responsible for the economic development of the Territory through the promotion of tourism and related activities. The department is under the supervision of the Commissioner of Tourism and its responsibilities include but are not limited to the formulation, implementation, administration and coordination of programs and policies pertaining to all aspects of tourism. Activities conducted by the Department of Tourism include the following: Develop strategies that will make the Territory competitive and desirable as a tourism destination Communicate and cooperate with all local tourist or tourist-related businesses to determine their needs and how best to promote the industry Promote Virgin Islands culture as a part of the tourism experience Promote an understanding of the importance of the tourism experience Develop strategies for the U.S. Virgin Islands in all businesses and industries throughout the Territory Identify and promote the unique features of St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and Water Island in tourism advertising; and, develop long-term strategies to successfully develop the overall economy TOURISM ADVERTISING REVOLVING FUND This Fund was created by Act 5249 and established under Title 33, Section 3072 Virgin Islands Code. The Fund is administered by the Commissioner of Finance and consists of all sums appropriated from time to time by the Legislature, all gifts, contributions and bequests made, and 100% of all moneys received by the Government from the collection of Hotel Room Tax, which is 8% of the gross room rate or rental. Monies disbursed from the Fund are used exclusively by the Department of Tourism [formerly the Department of Economic Development and Agriculture (EDA)] for promoting the Territory as a tourist destination and for industrial promotion.
3 Page 3 of 18 The Commissioner of Finance is required to forward annually to the Governor and the Legislature a detailed accounting of the disbursements from the Fund and the un-obligated balance. The Hotel Room Tax was enacted on July 13, 1978 as part of the Fiscal Year 1979 Executive Budget. It was established as a value added tax to the gross room rate of guests who rent and are registered or assigned a room in a hotel or other place where accommodations are furnished by the day, week, and month for pay. The activity regarding the increases in the hotel room tax from its enactment to the current status is shown in the table below: Changes in Hotel Room Tax Year Rate Act # % Enacted % % % 5954 Originally, only 50% of the monies collected from the Hotel Room Tax went into the Tourism Advertising Revolving Fund. In 1989, Act No increased the contribution to 65% and limited the maximum amount of monies which could be deposited into the Fund in any given fiscal year to $6.5 million. In 1990, Act 5498 removed the cap on the amount of monies that could be deposited into the Fund and increased the contribution to 100% for Fiscal Year 1990 only. This Act also mandated that $1 million be used for a territory-wide cleanup and beautification program and that $1 million be used exclusively for advertising St. Croix, $1 million for advertising St. Thomas, and $200,000 for advertising St. John. Later, Act No extended the 100% contribution for Fiscal Year 1991, and Act No further extended it for Fiscal Years 1992 and Act No further extended the 100% contribution to Fiscal Years 1994 and It also mandated that $1 million be reserved for the exclusive promotion of the island of St. Croix. Act No further extended the 100% contribution for Fiscal Years 1996 and 1997; it also mandated that $1 million be reserved for the exclusive advertising and promotion of the island of St. Croix. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Department of Tourism (DOT) is to increase visitor expenditures, to aid in the economic development of the Territory as mandated by the 21 st Legislature, which created the Department on May 8, In order to fulfill its mission, the
4 Page 4 of 18 Department has developed a strategic marketing plan that positions the USVI as a unique, competitive and desirable tourist destination. GOALS Its strategic plan is based on these four (4) core goals: 1. increase the number of domestic and international visitors and expenditures; 2. improve community awareness of tourism; 3. ensure the uniqueness of each island is represented in marketing efforts; and 4. build brand equity to create growth of travel to St. Croix. In order to achieve these goals, the Department s approach involves the following: 1. maintaining good communication with partners (i.e. hoteliers, attractions, the National Park Service, tour operators, travel agents, airlines, the media and the community); 2. maintaining market share for St. Thomas and St. John with a steadfast commitment to seeking new opportunities and increased market share for St. Croix; 3. using non-traditional approaches to market the Virgin Islands so as to make us distinctive and memorable; and 4. adjusting our marketing plan as needed, evaluating tactics and measuring results to ensure we remain on course. ACCOMPLISHMENTS The following outlines some of the Department s key accomplishments in FY 2014: 1. developed a program with Virtuoso (travel agents targeted at luxury products) which delivered approximately $53 million in business to the territory last year; 2.
