Tortola Pier Park Ltd (TPPL) launched a Request for Service to have a Wi-Fi system installed in Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park.

After reviewing proposals from several telecommunications providers, Digicel rose to the top and was awarded the project contract.

Digicel’s proposal included setting up the entire system at no cost to Tortola Pier Park Ltd, and a revenue-share agreement whereby revenue collected from tourists will generate a continuous stream of revenue for TPPL.

As tourists, you want to be able to document and share your journey with friends and family, which is why we are proud to have won the bid to provide Wi-Fi at Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park.

“Our team worked hard on the proposal, so this selection validates the work we put in, and is another step forward on our Digital Operator journey to provide our customers with simply more.”
