Caribbean Tourism Buzz: Puerto Rico and Jamaica are leading the region’s official destination social media race, but the bigger growth bet is on creators and diaspora storytellers turning island identity into global attention. Regional Business Complexity: The 2026 Global Business Complexity Index ranks the US as the 13th least complex and the BVI among the most complex jurisdictions—another reminder that “ease” is uneven across the Caribbean and beyond. VI Cost Pressure: In the USVI, fuel and shipping strain is worsening as the US-Iran impasse drags on, and the VI Premier says the new Consumer Protection Act won’t regulate gas prices—only key essentials. Local Skills Push: In the VI, TVET Week is being framed as “Plan A” to bridge classroom training to job-site skills. BVI/Economic Moves: The BVI is exploring full OECS membership, while SVG is pitching faster, rules-based business setup to investors. Tech & Capital: Alpha Compute closed a $32.2M deal for enterprise NVIDIA B200 compute in Canada, signaling continued demand for AI infrastructure.
