Guana Island in the BVI.

Green Tourism Board of the Year: The British Virgin Islands The BVI’s response to the storms of 2017 was nothing short of extraordinary, something that was only underscored by the aggressive, innovative reaction by the destination’s tourism officials. But that was just the beginning for the BVI, whose tourism officials soon launched a program called Seeds of Love aiming to replant the trees and vegetation that were lost, and have regularly organized cleanup programs across the territory, part of an admirable focus on making its tourism industry meaningful for the entire community — in other words, making it sustainable.
