Getting to British Virgin Islands
OK lets start at the beginning, you go to your travel agent and you tell them you would like to go to Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke or Anegada. Most times you will get the same response. Where is that? So you try to be a little more specific and you tell them that it is in the Virgin Islands. The only problem is that your travel agency doesn't know that there is a U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) and British Virgin Islands (BVI). Two completely separate countries which are governed independently. So you go into another 15 minutes explanation about the two different countries next to each other. The BVI being a colony of the United Kingdom and the USVI a colony of the United States of America..
If the process becomes too frustrating remember that the BVI has many travel agents that can help you plan your visit to the BVI. The main advantage of using a BVI travel agent is that most times getting to the BVI requires using local ferry services that BVI travel agents are very knowledgeable about. They can efficiently combine flight with ferry connections. BVI travel agents are also aware of BVI events such as holidays that may cause delay or presents more challenges for your travelling arrangements.
