Also their resources are so low (Medical capacity is very low).

My recommendations to BVI would be Elderly and high risks individuals first and then Frontline to Tourists(Those who interact with tourists directly). Once these front line workers vaccinated, then they wear a colorful identifying hat (or shirt) signifying tourists can interact with these individuals, as they have been vaccinated. This would serve as a hurdle between the "BVI non vaccinated herd" and the potential foreign traveler.

And ideally, entire BVI vaccinated rapidly, which would best option for reopening.
