The US territory is giving visitors $300 (£240) in spending credit, which can be used on a range of tours and activities including kayaking and diving.

The promotion celebrates the centennial of Denmark selling the islands to the US and those who visit the islands on 31 March will also receive a souvenir in honour of “transfer day”.
