Last update: 2 hours agoYacht Fee Dispute: Outgoing Gov. Albert Bryan says federal partners are weighing a tougher response to the British Virgin Islands’ charter-yacht fees, warning the USVI could be branded a “hostile” territory. Bryan said the USVI offered to pay 50% more than local registration rates, but talks remain unresolved. New Leadership: Stacey Plaskett won the governorship and will become the USVI’s first woman governor; VI-born Milton Potter was elected lieutenant governor. They take office Jan. 4. Population Outlook: Census projections show the territory’s population falling 41%, from 83,896 in 2026 to 49,331 by 2100, driven by low birth rates and outmigration. Tourism: Reservations are open for Club Med St. Croix, a 150-suite resort planned for Davis Bay in November 2027. Regional Travel: Contour Airlines now flies nonstop between St. Thomas and St. Maarten twice weekly, with the trip taking about an hour.
