Caribbean Tourism Executive of the Year: Joseph Boschulte, Commissioner, US Virgin Islands Department of Tourism
No Caribbean destination has seen more growth in the last three years than the US Virgin Islands, which kicked off a full-fledged tourism renaissance just after the onset of the pandemic and hasn’t looked back. And so much of that growth can be directly tied to the expert stewardship of Boschulte, who helped craft an innovative, flexible response to the challenges of the pandemic and has continued to drive the USVI’s performance with a data-driven, creative approach to modern tourism.
