With all of these conditions I really wonder whether those making the decisions realize how fickle their target audience is and how easy it will be for most to change destinations to other locations which offer less hurdles. I cannot believe that they are not aware that the revenue stream will shift away; and if the goal is to keep then BVI safe from potential contagion then they are doing the right thing and kudos to them. But announcing a "re-opening" of the island with big fanfare and giving hope to the constituents that the tourist dollars will soon start pouring in is a great disservice. But if they truly believe that this new protocol will (a) work and (b) result in an influx of tourists and much needed income then they are going to be in for a surprise; and as civil servants they will continue earning an income while the populace suffers.
