5 CONFERENCE LOCATION The U.S. Virgin Islands are blessed with powder soft sand beaches and sun-drenched weather. Because of its location, the island of St. Thomas often has brilliant sunsets. St. Thomas is the most cosmopolitan of the Virgin Islands. The scenic and historic capital city, Charlotte Amalie, is the main duty-free shopping area and has been the center of international trade since the 1600 s. Its deep-water harbor, once teeming with four-masted trading ships, now plays host to visiting cruise ships and a fleet of sail and power yachts. It s also the duty-free shopping mecca of the Caribbean. Our conference resort, the Frenchman s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, is located three miles from downtown Charlotte Amalie. The resort is surrounded by beautiful water on three sides. The resort has two outdoor swimming pools, two Jacuzzis, a sauna, health club with full spa services, and a lighted tennis court. You can enjoy the outdoor activities of snorkeling, sailing, jet skiing, and golfing, or experience the fabulous historical landmarks and landscapes on St. Thomas like Fort Christian, Mountain Top, Drake s Seat, Magen s Bay, Paradise Point Aerial Tram, and Coral World Underwater Observatory, all just a short taxi ride away. You can also catch a ferry to nearby St. John to snorkel or dive at Trunk Bay or visit the St. John National Park and see how sugar cane trade once shaped the Virgin Islands.
