AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

BVI Cruise Growth: The BVI posted the third-fastest cruise tourism growth in the Caribbean, welcoming 493,397 cruise passengers in Q1 (up 29.3%) and 113,318 stayover visitors (up 6.2%), even as critics question whether day-trippers are the best measure of tourism success. Electricity Costs Watch: BVIEC says electricity rates won’t increase, keeping the fuel subsidy for the first 1,500 kWh; usage above that threshold gets the unsubsidised fuel cost, after BVIEC absorbed about $49.8M in fuel costs since 2023. Marine Blue Economy Planning: Policy Analyst Emery C. Pemberton told the Marine Industry Forum that the National Sustainable Development Plan is a 15-year roadmap that explicitly supports public-private collaboration for managing the marine space and boosting local participation in the blue economy. Charter Pier Push (Tortola): Grandeur Charters’ Ramon George wants the finger pier at Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park restored for paid cruise pickup/drop-off, arguing current access rules are costly and inefficient. Local Governance & Emancipation: A businessman, Troy E. Christopher, urged officials to separate music-festival-style events from core Emancipation celebrations to keep the message clearer and more educational. Education Infrastructure (USVI): The Arthur A. Richards PreK-8 School opened on St. Croix, replacing hurricane-damaged facilities with a new campus designed for 735 students, including solar power and a gym that can serve as a storm shelter.
