About

The United States Virgin Islands, a Caribbean territory, consists of three main islands—Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix—along with numerous smaller islets. Renowned for their stunning white-sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and lush landscapes, the islands are a popular tourist destination. The unique blend of Caribbean and American influences is evident in the culture, cuisine, and architecture. As an unincorporated U.S. territory, the Virgin Islands benefit from U.S. citizenship for its residents but also face challenges such as economic dependence on tourism and vulnerability to natural disasters.
