AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 minutes ago

BVI Trade Mission: Premier Natalio Wheatley is leading a 12-member Virgin Islands delegation to India for the first VI-India Trade Mission (Aug. 24–31), aiming for regulatory talks, B2B meetings, and financial services roadshows to win new business and long-term partnerships. Local Business Support: The Virgin Islands government awarded US$165,000 in MSME grants to 18 local business owners, backing start-up and growth costs across sectors like food services, tours, trades, logistics, and senior care. Marine Tourism & Safety: BVI marine authorities issued a safety reminder after 20 marine accidents this year, with collisions and groundings making up 90% of cases—urging better preparation, lookout, and operator competence. Cruise Economy: Norwegian Cruise Line detailed its new Norwegian Aura, bringing Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries that include calls at St. Thomas and Tortola, with a major onboard wellness focus. USVI Drought Relief: The U.S. government declared a drought disaster for the U.S. Virgin Islands, enabling farmers and agricultural producers to seek federal emergency loans. Scholarships & Education: Ocean Point Terminals will award $16,000 in scholarships to eight USVI students for 2026–27, supporting study and technical training across the U.S. Housing Oversight: Senators grilled VIHFA officials on the suspension of certain federal funds and how it could affect staff and the housing pipeline.
