May be a little off topic but was wondering how many of those tourist/visitor days (300,000? - seemed like a lot) were cruise ship vs on yachts vs land based. I would have thought the yachts would make up a large portion on the non- cruise ship crowd. Thanks.
Actually the BVI had been averaging 380,000 overnight visitors with another 80,000 or so non-cruise day viitors. Of that 380,000, about 75% arrived via STT and the ferries. Cruise ship visits totaled a bit over 500,000 in 2014, the latest stats I can find. That will probably increase by 60 to 70% over the next few years.
BTW, including Little Dix, Peter, Byras Creek and Scrub there are less than 300 guest rooms with rack rates above $400/night.
By far the most cost effective solution to the access problem would be a modern reliable fast ferry system.
