U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — Governor Albert Bryan Jr. issued the following statement on the passing of Senior District Judge Raymond Finch:
“It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of one of the Virgin Islands most noted jurists, District Judge Raymond Finch, who served the people of the Territory fairly and prudently for decades, first in the Territorial Court and then for more than 15 years as a federal judge in the U.S. District Court after being nominated to consecutive terms by President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton.
“A native Crucian, Judge Finch served for six years as the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court and set an eminent example as an honorable and impartial arbiter of the law. His service for the betterment of our community and its people will not be forgotten.
“On behalf of First Lady Yolanda Bryan, my family, and the people of the Virgin Islands, I express my sincere condolences to his family, friends and loved ones during their time of bereavement.”
U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — Governor Albert Bryan Jr. issued an Executive Order declaring a State of Emergency in the Territory to mitigate the impact from the unusually high amounts of Sargassum seaweed piling up on USVI shores and having a negative impact on water-production capabilities on St. Croix.
Governor Bryan also has sent a request to the Biden Administration to declare a federal emergency on St. Croix regarding the Sargassum inundation, and teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are expected to be on the ground in the Territory on Sunday, July 24, to assist the Government of the Virgin Islands (GVI) in coordinating a response.
Because of the Sargassum build-up, maintenance efforts have increased to keep the water intake for the desalinization plant on St. Croix clear from seaweed and biological debris resulting from the ecosystems associated with large Sargassum blooms. In addition, reduced water production could also create a negative effect on the V.I. Water and Power Authority’s power-generating capacity.
While there currently are no negative impacts regarding public health resulting from the Sargassum build-up, Governor Bryan is advising residents of St. Croix to conserve water as the GVI takes steps to resolve the issues caused by the seaweed.
“I want to assure St. Croix that we don’t anticipate any impact on public health from this annual invasion of Sargassum in our waters, including the stench that we all, unfortunately, have learned to live with every summer,” Governor Bryan said. “However, the seaweed overrunning our beaches also brings the potential for disruption to businesses and other negative financial impacts to our economy. I have assembled a team that includes primary public agencies, including Health, DPNR and VITEMA, and the semiautonomous agencies that have been meeting to coordinate efforts with FEMA and other federal partners.”
The Executive Order that Governor Bryan issued designates Department of Planning and Natural Resources Commissioner Jean-Pierre Oriol as the incident commander and directs VITEMA to activate the Emergency Operation Centers; directs the Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs to institute relevant price freezes on certain goods and services; directs all agencies under the direction of the Governor to fully cooperate with DPNR’s efforts; and suspends certain procurement requirements relevant to mitigating the issue.
While the immediate threat from the Sargassum is specific to St. Croix, pre-emptive efforts also are underway on St. Thomas to prevent adverse impacts to water-production capabilities in that district.
DPNR is monitoring the National Oceanography and Atmospheric Administration’s Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System to track and forecast Sargassum blooms and potential impacts, and the seaweed is forecast to affect Caribbean waters into mid-October.
The Bryan-Roach Administration is investing in the Territory’s people, infrastructure and future through transparency, stabilizing the economy, restoring trust in the government and ensuring that recovery projects are completed as quickly as possible. Visit transparency.vi.gov
The U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism appeared in front of the Senate for the annual budget testimony hearing touting strong tourism results for Fiscal Year 2022.
During the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Hearing held on July 13, Commissioner of Tourism Joseph Boschulte provided the Senate with the highlights of the industry’s achievements along with a recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2023 that will allow the Department to continue to effectively grow the tourism business while promoting the USVI as the marquee destination in the Caribbean.
He discussed a broad overview of strategies to increase revenues and employment in key tourism sectors, including airlift, cruises and accommodations, while also expanding marine and international markets.
During the pandemic, the tourism industry was “a bright spot in the U.S. Virgin Islands economy,” Boschulte said. “Tourism accounts for 60 percent of our GDP (and) industry indicators suggest that tourism growth will continue in 2022 and 2023, buoyed by a revival of cruise travel.”
In a strong start to 2022, Boschulte reported, first-quarter visitor arrivals surged 153 percent compared to the same period in 2021. This year, 452,764 visitors arrived between January to March 2022. That follows up on a successful 2021 fiscal year during which there were increases of 96.7 percent in air visitor arrivals and 27.7 percent in hotel occupancy from the previous year. Boschulte attributed this to the Department of Tourism’s quick pivot in strategy after the cruise industry shut down in 2020.
At the time, the department amped up its aggressive campaign to increase both airlift and overnight stays. As a result, the USVI became the fastest-growing location for total airlift capacity in the Americas between 2019 and 2021. According to the Transportation Security Administration, airports in St. Croix and St. Thomas received 14 percent more passengers in February 2022 than in February 2019.
Airline success translated to the accommodations sector. Boschulte reported that STR lodging data showed that when compared to all Caribbean destinations for which data is available, the USVI had the highest hotel occupancy rate of 72.5 percent from June 2021 to May 2022. The territory also led the region with the highest average daily rate (ADR) of $637 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $461.61 during the same period.
While cruising was largely dormant for the calendar year 2021, the Department of Tourism continued to work with cruise industry executives to develop strategies to welcome the business back during 2022. “The territory is projected to see a sharp increase in calls in FY23 of over 450 calls and almost 1.4 million passengers, up from slightly under 250 (calls) and approximately 480 thousand passengers in FY22,” Boschulte reported.
Other key Fiscal Year 2022 developments included the growth in marine and sports tourism. Sports tourism efforts included international sailing events, college basketball tournaments, tennis tournaments, and participation in the Sports Illustrated 2022 swimsuit edition. The latter was a significant coup for USVI Tourism, increasing brand exposure through 21 billion media impressions across global media outlets.
As for the marine industry, its annual direct and indirect contribution to the USVI economy is forecast to approach $100 million in the coming year. During 2021, The Moorings, one of the world’s premier yacht charter companies, established operations on St. Thomas during the season.
These are among the key strategies the Department of Tourism developed during FY 2022 and will continue into FY 2023:
Airlift
Increase airlift from existing locations and adding new gateways domestically and internationally
Accommodations
Increase overnight stays through FY 2023
Grow room occupancy tax revenue via hotels and sharing economy accommodations
Cruise
Launch initiatives to win back and grow the share of the cruise business, including solidifying partnerships with the cruise lines and with the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA).
Adding 70 percent more passengers coming to Crown Bay on St. Thomas and tripling the numbers for St. Croix in 2023
Marine
Strengthen partnerships with marine stakeholders
Expand and integrate marine experiences with land-based experiences

U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — Governor Albert Bryan Jr. announced that the Virgin Islands Superior Court has issued an order confirming the authority of the executive branch regarding legislation that sought to limit the Governor’s ability to appoint and remove members of the Territorial Hospital Board.
The court’s decision in Bryan v V.I. Government Hospital and Health Facilities Corporation asserts that the Governor is charged with the general administrative power of appointing, overseeing and controlling the execution of the laws, including power of appointment and removal.
The Court confirmed that the Hospital Board is an executive agency and its administration is within the principles of Separation of Powers Doctrine. The Court ruled that the Legislature’s attempt to limit the Governor’s executive authority by eliminating his authority to remove appointees to the Hospital Board is an intrusion into the executive powers and is a violation of the Revised Organic Act.
“The Separation of Powers Doctrine is a cornerstone in the foundation of democracy and is crucial in keeping the branches of government working on equal footing, so that one branch does not carry more weight than the other,” Governor Bryan said. “The specific branches of government have specific responsibilities that are balanced to ensure that the government as a whole works equitably and fairly on behalf of the people.”
The Governor said his Office of Legal Counsel is closely reviewing the Superior Court decision to see how and whether it applies to other boards and other pieces of legislation seeking to exert or increase legislative influence over the makeup of the Territory’s various boards and commissions.
The Court ruled, as derived from prior U.S. Supreme Court cases, the principle of separation of powers applies through the provisions of the Revised Organic Act and within those powers, the Executive Branch is clothed with the executive “power of appointing, overseeing and controlling” the persons and agencies that execute the laws.
Other primary points of the Superior Court’s decision are:
- The grant of executive power encompasses “the express mandate to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, including the power of appointment and removal of executive officers.”
- The executive has absolute power to remove executive officers. No other branch has such power.
- The elimination of the Governor’s power to remove members of the Board and District Boards violates the separation of powers principles and is invalid under the Revised Organic Act.
Equating the Hospital Board to other boards and commissions, the Superior Court’s ruling supports the premise that the Governor has the absolute authority of appointment and removal of executive officers, including boards and commissions that assist in implementing executive functions of running the Government. Any attempt to restrict that power is a violation of the ROA and is invalid.
The Bryan-Roach Administration is committed to transparency, stabilizing the economy, restoring trust in the government and ensuring the disaster recovery is completed as quickly as possible.
