AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

USVI Public Safety & Compliance: Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. signed the “2026 Second Amendment Rights and Public Safety Act” (Bill No. 36-0144), overhauling firearm licensing and registration to remove subjective discretion and align rules with recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, while keeping clearer standards for lawful gun owners. Telecom Relief for Disaster Impacts: Liberty VI is offering free international long-distance calls from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Venezuela through June 28 to help customers stay in touch with family and coordinate aid after recent earthquakes. Tourism & Hospitality Growth: Hilton will open a new Hampton by Hilton in San Juan this September, adding another midscale option in Puerto Rico and building on the brand’s recent St. Thomas launch. Caribbean Travel Deals: Norwegian Cruise Line is pushing summer “close-to-home” Caribbean and Bahamas sailings with 50% off plus Free at Sea perks, and it also adjusted a 2027 itinerary due to port availability. Infrastructure Backlog (Federal): A federal repair backlog is leaving buildings with leaks, mold, and broken elevators, with repair approvals taking hundreds of days and costs ballooning. Regional Disruption from Earthquakes: Twin major quakes in Venezuela triggered tsunami alerts and widespread damage, with Caribbean tourism and travel operations facing disruption.
