[text only] Site Map The Development Planning Unit Government of the British Virgin Islands PLANS NIDS onsultation NIDS PUBLIC CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 1. BACKGROUND 2. INTRODUCTION 3. MISSION 4. INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ... 14. GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 1. BACKGROUND The purpose of this document is to initiate public consultation on the key components of the integrated development strategy for the British Virgin Islands (BVI) for the period 1998 to 2004. This document does not attempt to provide details. Instead it outlines the key contexts or points of reference that will inform the critical components of the strategy. It seeks to evoke feedback and consensus from the public on the important concerns as well as the strategic approaches for dealing with those concerns. The document has benefited from the background work of the various sub-committees, the deliberations and guidance of the Project Management Team, the retreats attended by key personnel in the public and private sectors and information from the reviews of international agencies and numerous Government policy statements and documents. The BVI is a small, externally dependent economy of approximately 19,000 people. Politically, it is an Overseas Dependent Territory of the United Kingdom. Over the past 2 decades, the future of the territory has been linked inextricably to the favourable market conditions for its 2 most important economic activities - tourism and international financial services. This has accounted for and impacted on most of the developments in the territory over that period.

[text only] Site Map The Development Planning Unit Government of the British Virgin Islands About Our Country The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a collection of 60 islands, cays and rocks in the northeastern Caribbean some 100 miles east of Puerto Rico. For most of the recorded history, since at least the 17th century, the BVI have been a crown colony of the United Kingdom. Having previously been part of the British colonial structure in the Caribbean for the first half of the 1900’s, the BVI refused to join the West Indian Federation and left the colony of the Leeward Islands on 1 July 1956. The islands of the BVI form almost an oval around Tortola, the largest island. Throughout our history, until the 1960’s, the BVI had been virtually subsistent in food production and produced enough for export to neighbouring United States of America Virgin Islands. This oval-shaped formation of the islands has turned out to be one of the best pleasure boating areas in the world. On land, the BVI is endowed with fine mountain ranges, small valleys and little flat fertile agriculture land. The geography of the BVI has been responsible for the natural assets used in the production of tourist services.

Uninhabited East Caicos has a beautiful 17-mile beach on its north coast. Many beaches in the islands and cays are accessible only by boat. B ritish V irgin I slands The British Virgin Islands, about 60 miles east of Puerto Rico and less than one mile from the U.S. Virgin Islands, are a group of about 50 islands, islets and cays, most of which lie around the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Tortola, about 10 square miles, and Virgin Gorda, 8 square miles, are the largest ones. Most of them are volcanic, with exception of Anegada, a coral atoll 15 miles north of the rest of the archipelago. Other important islands are Jost Van Dyke, Norman, Peter and Beef Island, where the International Airport is located. First inhabited by Siboney indians, the islands were visited by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to America, in 1493. Spaniards looked for gold and pirates took advantage of the islands' many hidden coves. Dutch settlers arrived in the 17th century, but soon the British replaced them. Nowadays the BVI have a governor appointed by England, but their constitution allows some autonomy from UK.
