Grant Overview

The US Virgin Islands face a significant barrier to sustainable economic development, as the territory's tourism industry puts pressure on natural resources and infrastructure. With 2.5 million tourists visiting the islands annually, the territory's coral reefs, beaches, and ecosystems are at risk of degradation. The Eco-Tourism Development initiative targets this challenge by creating an eco-tourism framework that promotes sustainable tourism practices, supports local businesses, and conserves natural resources. In the Virgin Islands, 60% of GDP is generated by the tourism sector, making sustainable tourism practices crucial for the local economy. The initiative focuses on developing and promoting eco-friendly tour operators and practices, addressing the challenge of balancing economic development with environmental protection. By supporting local businesses and conserving natural resources, the initiative aims to achieve measurable outcomes in reducing the environmental impact of tourism. Key outcomes include a 15% reduction in waste generation among participating tour operators and a 20% increase in protected areas. ## Eco-Tourism Development in the US Virgin Islands ## Sustainable Tourism Practices for the Virgin Islands' Tourism Industry ## Balancing Economic Development and Environmental Protection in the Virgin Islands
