Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Score: 61

"Beautiful island with considerable environmental quality. Threat of development looms."

Most tourism associated with chartering boats—highly appropriate and sustainable tourism the way the BVI is regulating it."

"A highly priced island where natives are fiercely proud and protective of their territory."

"Failure to control cruise tourist visits, including permitting up to 3,500 visitors a day, is seriously diminishing quality of life for BV Islanders."

"Tortola is rapidly experiencing the problems of mass-tourism destinations, thereby losing its charm and uniqueness. Blame the cruise ships, poor land-use planning, and high-density development. Its sister islands in the BVI are far more attractive."
