Regrettably, the government/Tourist Board will not wake up. The former is flat broke, as in they owe $10 million to the BVIEC, the want $$$$ to re-do the water distribution system, the roads are a mess, the schools are a mess, etc. The government gets $7/head for each cruise ship passenger, so they are totally in the pockets of the cruise companies - low-end ones at that. Those companies want "exciting" things to do in port, so although jet-skis are illegal in the BVI, a blind eye is turned.

The government is looking for as many places to ruin as possible, although they wouldn't phrase it like that. Look at Long Bay east, look at Spring Bay. They keep courting the huge - and getting bigger - cruise ships, although they're well aware they don't have the land side facilities to support that number of visitors.
