The BVI government is going to have to address whether tourism is going to be their only economy, and whether expecting tourism fees and taxes, and discretionary spending to carry their entire GDP is a viable long term economic policy. BVI voters choose the people to make those national decisions. Again, the BVI voters choose their own government. Not only is tourism not the only economy, it's not even the largest percentage of GDP. The financial industry is larger than tourism for $$$; last number I heard was 60%. I think tourism might have a slightly larger employee base than the financial industry.
