The British Virgin Islands consist of 60 islands, cays and rocks, located 90 miles east of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. Our temperate climate, white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and oval-shaped layout help to make us one of the most desirable tourist destinations in the region. Almost 400,000 tourists visit our shores annually, for pleasure yacht sailing, snorkeling, and diving. The BVI is known as the sailing capital of the world.
The BVI economy has grown and undergone significant changes over the past decade. In particular, the tourism sector has expanded noticeably, as well as the offshore business sector. The two export sectors now account for more than 70% of gross national product, 65% of all incomes from employment, and 75% of Central Government’s recurrent revenue, annually. BVI economy has successfully diversified from tourism into offshore financial services.
Through the last decade of stable growth, our economy has been transformed into a full-fledged international trade centre with strong public sector leadership and investment. Past policies provided an environment conducive to private sector initiative, as evidenced by the 800 new trade licenses issued and the 450 new corporate entities. The commercial legal framework has been strengthened, bureaucratic procedures have been simplified in some industries, and tax and franchise incentives have been employed to encourage both domestic and foreign investors. Technical assistance programmes, business seminars, and workshops have recently been initiated to assist the small business sector.
