RIDGE HOUSE:

TORTOLA and the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS (BVI)
Tortola is main island in the beautiful BVI's; a unique group of over 50 islands and small cays closely grouped to feature the world's best protected and easily navigable sailing, as well as exquisite beaches, tropical year-round climate, and clear, warm waters ideal for diving, sailing, swimming, playing…
Tortola is 12 miles long, 3 miles wide and the capital at the centre of the island on the south shore is Road Town. There are approximately 22,000 residents, inhabiting 15 of the islands in this majestic and unique archipelago.
Located approximately 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, at the north-west end of the Leeward Islands and adjacent to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Principal islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke.
Executive authority in British Virgin Islands is invested in The Queen of England, and is exercised on her behalf by the Governor of the BVI. The Governor is appointed by the Queen, and is currently, David Pearey (since 2006). Defence and Foreign Affairs remain the responsibility of the United Kingdom, making the socio-economic status of this group of islands uniquely stable and prosperous.
The Constitution of the Islands was introduced in 1971. The Head of Government is the Chief Minister, who is elected in a general election. The current Chief Minister is Dr. Orlando Smith (since June 17 2003), who is a member of ruling National Democratic Party (NDP). (Information taken from Wikipedia, the free online Encyclopaedia)
* The B.V.I. is a British Overseas Territory, with a British Governor and British legal system
* A strong offshore financial service industry accounts for 65% of the GNP of the BVI, with tourism accounting for the balance
* The area offers an excellent investment environment, as it is one of the most prosperous economies in the Caribbean, and continues to be 'on the move' with house and land values increasing all the time.
* The BVI offer the best sailing conditions in the world. With temperate weather and year-round trade winds, it is cooler in summer than many other tropical destinations, and moderate and balmy all winter long. Annual temperatures range between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
* With water temperatures of 79 - 86 degrees, the BVI offers a 'water paradise', perfect for sailing, diving, snorkelling, power boating, windsurfing, kite-boarding, and surfing almost year-round.
* With more and more big developments proposed over the next 24 months, there are large volumes of money moving into the BVI making it a stable and lucrative investment opportunity. |
