Air Canada has once again answered the calls of its customers and launched a weekly route into the lovley island of St. Thomas. Best known as an escape for American tourists, it is now yet another destination that sun-loving Canadians can enjoy.
With the global crises and European/Middle Eastern instability far away vacations may not be first preference to many North Americans. So why not head close to home.
St. Thomas offers the best the Caribbean has to offer with added North American comforts close to hand. For example one can enjoy the local cuisine of the islands but still escape to a good burger when the appetite goes homesick. Also the infrastructure of St. Thomas by way of roads, bridges and street lighting is by far superior to many other islands and visitors find this easier for navigating and driving vehicles.
St. Thomas is also an overseas territory of the United States and by virtue of the excellent cross border relations, Canadians will find comfort in being welcomed to this island as they presently enjoy when travelling to the USA. Currency concerns are also minimised as the US dollar is the means of exchange and with the Loony being where it is right now, Canadians can enjoy just above parity for a while more.
Certainly the entrance of Air Canada into the main island of the US Virgin islands is a welcome addition and the Caribbean travellers can only benefit. It is hped though that other routes such as Tobago is analyzed by the good folks at Air Canada so Candains can explore the Caribbean even more than now. That being said – Good going Air Canada!
