straight course through the whole island chain. Aside from one, outlying Anegada, all the islands were hit with Irma\u2019s worst: trees weren\u2019t just stripped of leaves but their bark, too. Irma left 85% of buildings destroyed or severely damaged and infrastructure on the main island, Tortola, was smashed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>As a born-and-raised BVIslander, I had never seen anything like it. No one had. My family had its own dramas, including a portion of roof lifting off, never to be found, and windows and doors blowing in. Most people had similar experiences \u2013 many had worse. The morning after, our islands \u2013 formerly marketed as Nature\u2019s Little Secrets and ticking all the boxes for a tropical holiday paradise \u2013 looked like a war zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDown but not out,\u201d said the authorities as soon as they had clawed out of the rubble and back onto Twitter. The BVI tourist board seemed deliriously optimistic at first. They had to be: tourism is the major earner and top employer in these islands, directly or indirectly supporting 83.7% of jobs and a total contribution of 95.9% to our GDP,\u00a0according to the World Tourism &amp; Travel Council. In 2015, just over half a million travellers arrived between January and July and in the same period in 2016, more than 700,00 visited.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"img-2\" class=\"element element-image img--landscape fig--narrow-caption fig--has-shares \" data-component=\"image\" data-media-id=\"031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\">\n<div class=\"u-responsive-ratio\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=620&amp;q=20&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=b288f380b8a420e649159a02529e9907 1240w\" media=\"(min-width: 660px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 660px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\" sizes=\"620px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=620&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=0ebbb5de137c8f2cf8d31b0ce2479f0d 620w\" media=\"(min-width: 660px)\" sizes=\"620px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=605&amp;q=20&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=a7ef9f3c2d30ed818376eda9386f40cc 1210w\" media=\"(min-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 480px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\" sizes=\"605px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=605&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=d15ce7594a7710e875c4b6a4978b1a3b 605w\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"605px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=445&amp;q=20&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=6b8fc693e30ca9a3660df36e802cd7b5 890w\" media=\"(min-width: 0px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 0px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\" sizes=\"445px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=445&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=893a359f04187a388788d2f6494cb05c 445w\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"445px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gu-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/031fa1e6ad8436e2947605e05f2eb5c8622ca824\/0_240_3600_2160\/master\/3600.jpg?w=300&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=5dd4ca2c92bba3331bc0b5e9368a10a5\" alt=\"A picture provided by the British MoD shows some of the destruction in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands left by Hurricane Irma.\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption caption--img caption caption--img\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Incredibly, almost five months after the storm there are already signs of a tourism buzz and it is happening alongside our own continuing struggle to find normality: electricity is only 60% restored, insurance disputes continue to delay rebuilding and many roads are severely damaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recovery has gone extremely well considering the strength of Irma,\u201d says Chuck Metter, a regular BVI visitor whose voluntary contribution to the rebuild has been to centralise the progress of tourist businesses on the website,\u00a0BVITraveller.com. \u201cMore than 90 restaurants [out of around 150], 45 hotels [of around 300] and just about all of the charter boat companies are already back in business,\u201d he reports this week.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"element element-pullquote element--supporting\"><span class=\"inline-garnett-quote inline-icon \">\u00a0<\/span>Last week the BVI government took stock of progress and for many, the news was heartening. \u201cWe have approximately 300 [hotel] rooms in use across the territory, and approximately 800 berths on sea,\u201d said Premier Daniel Orlando Smith.<\/aside>\n<p>It has been pointed out that many of those rooms are currently occupied by insurance adjusters and aid workers, and the use of the word berths refers to occupied beds on boats \u2013 which translates as somewhere between 100 and 150 being rented. In truth we are down by around 85% on previous years.<\/p>\n<p>For many, however, these numbers offer hope.

Although things are tough, they are improving: \u201cMains electricity was hooked up last week,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is clear is that the guests are hugely loyal to the BVI and are anxious to revisit,\u201d says Lucienne Smith of Smiths Gore, which offers luxury villa rentals. Smith estimates that around 20% of such villas are now available for rent. \u201cMany [villa guests] have chosen to support the BVI by having this year\u2019s holiday on a charter yacht with the hope of coming back to a land-based holiday next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than half of all visitors to the BVIs come for the sailing, so getting the charter fleet ready was a top priority. Post-Irma, boats were scattered around the coasts: upside down, in mangrove trees, on rooftops and roads, or simply sunk. More than 80% of the 4,000-strong fleet was destroyed or damaged and a salvage operation hasn\u2019t stopped since the storm passed. But, unlike hotel rooms, boats can be brought in from outside so it didn\u2019t take long for replacements to arrive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"img-4\" class=\"element element-image img--landscape fig--narrow-caption fig--has-shares \" data-component=\"image\" data-media-id=\"83a45c1894f77669c5f17a48065900bdf91365ad\"><figcaption class=\"caption caption--img caption caption--img\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At Pirate\u2019s Bight restaurant on uninhabited Norman Island, made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson\u2019s Treasure Island and a favourite stop for those cruising the islands, it\u2019s almost business as usual. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing between 20 and 30 charter boats a day,\u201d says events manager Natalie Wilkinson, compared to 40 to 45 in normal times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was apprehensive about what condition the islands would be in,\u201d said John d\u2019Arbeloff, a regular visitor. \u201cBut it was fantastic. There\u2019s some rebuilding going on and some areas are better than others but the spirit is very much alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur yacht charter business is clearly leading the way,\u201d says Keith Dawson of the\u00a0BVI Tourism, \u201cbut land accommodation is recovering steadily with properties coming on line every month.\u201d Cruise ships, he points out, are beginning to return \u2013 nine in January \u2013 and annual events are reappearing on the calendar. \u201cThere is the\u00a0Anegada Kiteboarding and Paddle Festival\u00a0in March, the\u00a0BVI Spring Regatta\u00a0in March\/April and the\u00a0Virgin Gorda Easter Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Are we delirious to think we might survive the year and find some normality next season? I\u2019m with the tourist board. After a blow like that, we need the opium of optimism. We\u2019re committed because we have no choice. But we know visitors will return because we live in the most beautiful islands in the world. No exaggeration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2018\/jan\/30\/british-virgin-islands-tourism-holiday-recovery-after-hurricane-irma-hotels\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2018\/jan\/30\/british-virgin-islands-tourism-holiday-recovery-after-hurricane-irma-hotels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now is the time to visit the islands, says one UK operator, as cruise and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":15082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,56,62],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplatformonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
