Philippe Leroy, Managing Director, at Last Stop Sports provided the following update. “We were lucky with Irma and only had to do some cleanup. Thus, our shop in Road Town was able to re-open only a month later on October 4th.” Established in 1994, Last Stop Sports offers a large variety of water toys and scuba diving equipment. They have a choice of paddle boards (SUP), kayaks, fishing gear, diving gear, floats, body boards, windsurfer and more. They are also a bike shop/sporting goods store. We offer bicycle sales, rentals and service/repair.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
