In 1999 a small team of St. Thomas’ residents started VInow.com with a visitors guide to St. Thomas. The goal was to provide USVI travelers with an online community where they could learn about the USVI, plan their trips and share their experiences on a well organized, attractive website. Today the goal remains the same and VInow.com has grown to include a guide for St. Croix, St. John, Water Island and a special section for cruise ship visitors.
VInow.com has two sister sites; VIMovingCenter.com which focuses on relocating to and living in the US Virgin Islands and VITraders.com an online store where you can find books, maps & souvenirs from the USVI.
