VISIT Program Participants Featured FREE in Maps of the USVI

As a participant in the VISIT book program, each and every advertiser is placed on the companion map using your location with a number correlating to your name in the index. St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix are all represented together in one convenient multi-fold sheet with only five panels available for sponsors to avoid clutter on the map itself. North South Net, Inc. prints 110,000 copies of Maps of the USVI annually, which are distributed at strategic high traffic areas where guests will be looking for information. Distribution points include airport information booths and car rentals as well as some retail shops, restaurants, concierge desks, activity centers and provisioning grocery stores throughout the USVI. Maps of the USVI is the official map of USVIHTA. All advertisers in the VISIT program are listed on the map for FREE. If you would like copies delivered for your guests, please call our distribution manager Tony Flemming at 340-473-6939.
