BVI never get headlines they deserve - 10/19/2017 02:30 PM
I saw an article from the NY Times about the state of the islands and the expected return on tourism. The article detailed all of the affected islands and only a small mention about the BVI and it's dependence on the USVI for tourism. I guess they really are nature's little secret.
Quote:
British Virgin Islands
These 60 islands east of Puerto Rico, which include Tortola, are also dependent on tourism and benefit from visitors from the nearby United States Virgin Islands. That’s unlikely to happen with those islands still recovering. And the British Virgin Islands were themselves walloped by the storms. A majority of the hotels are closed and damage assessments are ongoing.
