    I think you’re right.

    According to the T&C: “The prize draw is being run by British Virgin Islands Tourist Board”

    But there is no sign of the comp on their official website: https://www.bvitourism.com/
    Or the official social media channels.

    It’s not your fault, sadly they are getting more convincing :(

    Might be worth double checking with BVI Tourist Board.
