AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Luxury & tourism momentum: A $20.5 million six-bedroom villa, “Villa Maronti,” has hit the market at Oil Nut Bay in the British Virgin Islands—another signal that high-end real estate demand is still alive. Sports tourism: The VI is hosting its first-ever 3X3 ANOECS Basketball Tournament, with teams across the OECS set to play May 16–17 at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex. Local governance & public safety: The RVIPF is planning a May 29 “non-enforcement” community policing event in East End—“Meet Your Community Policing Officers”—aimed at conversation, not citations. Elder abuse case: A St. Thomas woman was arrested over alleged financial exploitation and severe neglect of her mother with Alzheimer’s dementia. Trade & logistics pressure: The VI Port Authority is responding to concerns after a San Juan docking restriction involving Water Spirit Freight Services raised worries for cargo service. Cruise outlook: The VI expects a record 52 summer cruise calls, projecting 165,700 passengers.
