British Virgin Islands Tourist Board: tourism promotion for the Caribbean archipelago

The British Virgin Islands Tourist Board is the body responsible for tourism promotion of the British Virgin Islands, a Caribbean archipelago made up of more than 50 islands. Its website, bvitourism.com, serves as the official information platform for visitors and industry professionals, and brings together resources on the different islands, experiences, accommodation, restaurants, shopping and transport options.

Islands and main destinations

The organisation structures information by island. The main ones are Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. Other smaller islands are also detailed, such as Norman Island, Scrub Island, Prickly Pear, Saba Rock, Great Camanoe, Buck Island, Eustatia Island, Guana Island, Moskito Island, Necker Island and Peter Island. Private islands and exclusive properties such as The Branson Beach Estate are also mentioned.

For each island, information is offered on experiences, accommodation, restaurants, shopping and how to get around. Anegada, for example, is described as the only coral island in the volcanic chain, with an almost flat relief, coral reefs, secluded beaches and springs bubbling from the coral beds. Jost Van Dyke is presented as the most colourful island in terms of vegetation.

Experiences and activities

The site lists a wide variety of experiences available in the archipelago: art and culture, concierge services, day sails, diving and snorkelling, fishing, health and fitness, hiking, marinas, motorboat rentals, sailing, spa, stand-up paddleboarding, tennis and tours. Sailing is a central focus: charter companies, marinas, provisioning, motorboat rentals, yacht maintenance, yacht brokers, chandleries and yacht clubs are listed.

Practical information for travellers

The website includes sections on how to get there, both by air and by sea, visa requirements, travelling from the USVI, customs and ports of entry. There is also the possibility of finding a travel agent. Ferry schedules and an events calendar are published, covering regattas, food and cultural festivals, and celebrations such as the Full Moon Party at Trellis Bay Market, the Village Cay & Rhythm and Sands Food Wine and Rum Festival, Heroes and Ancestors Day, BVI Restaurant Week, the Tourist Board and Film Commission Film Festival, Culture and Tourism Month, the Literary Festival, the BVI Charter Yacht Show and the Fungi Festival.

Recognition and positioning

The site highlights that the British Virgin Islands were recognised as the best luxury destination in the Caribbean and took first place in Modern Luxury magazine's Best of Travel 2026 list. The organisation also emphasises the archipelago's position as an accessible yet secluded enclave, with a network of docks and airports that make arrival and internal travel easier.

Resources for the industry and the community

In addition to visitor information, the site offers resources for the tourism industry: film commission, corporate information, wedding rules and regulations, press kit, press contact, career opportunities, travel trade information and useful links. Official public holidays are also published, and a frequently asked questions section and contact details for general enquiries are maintained.
