Probably not but most villa owners (and boat owners for that matter) would agree that an exceptionally large percentage of the rent money remains in the BVI. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
This.

Rental dollars are most certainly put back into the BVI economy. Caretaker salaries, repair and upkeep on the grounds and the villa ensure that any $ earned goes directly back into the local economy. New doors due to termite damage, restoration of our tiles floors this year. New metal roof this fall.

In addition, we make two to three trips down each year, where the girl likes to spread more $ into the local establishments. <---read this as the girl just like to eat/drink! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

And I am no where near the level of the "more desirable" visitors. OY! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
