AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tourism & Trade: Caribbean Week returns to New York on Monday, June 1, with BVI Premier Dr. Natalio Wheatley and USVI Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. leading a regional tourism delegation at InterContinental New York Times Square, focused on airlift, marketing, sustainability and “next generation” tourism. Youth & Workforce: The BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission will host the Virgin Islands Junior Ambassador of Tourism competition on June 4, sending the winner to the Caribbean Tourism Youth Congress in Guyana. Disaster Readiness: CDEMA warns of severe flash-flood risks across the Caribbean even with a below-average hurricane season, urging year-round preparation. Local Business & Hiring: Mark Vanterpool says the real bottleneck isn’t bias against locals but a shortage of Virgin Islanders willing to take available jobs, arguing hiring locals is simpler and cheaper than importing labour. Aviation & Governance: Former BVIAA boss Kurt Menal says he resigned with three months’ notice and highlights connectivity gains during his tenure. Finance & Banking: Carey Olsen acted for Butterfield on its US$1.8bn acquisition of CIBC Caribbean’s 91.7% stake, creating a larger cross-border banking and digital platform across 19 jurisdictions. Digital Assets Regulation: BIT says BVI FSC approval brings Matrixport Technologies under a SIBA Category 2 licence and VASP registration. Infrastructure & Resilience: Clearfield says modular fiber solutions are supporting BVI broadband restoration after storm damage. Education Funding: The V.I. Board of Career and Technical Education moves to create an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit to fund trade students’ classroom supplies and competition travel. Policy Watch: The Senate in St. Thomas approved a green waste disposal measure with amendments limiting incineration when safer options like composting and mulching are available.
