Taxing tourists is very common. The hotel taxes in most major US cities is more than 10%. I am not sure I have a issue - if the money is well spent.

One challenge I see is for boats that are crossing into the USVI to spend a few days/nights. How would that work for taxes?

Anyone know what BVI taxes are paid on charters now? (besides the park permit fees)
