The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean, east of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The archipelago consists of nearly 60 islands and cayes, the four largest of which are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke.
The BVI is famous for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and spectacular sailing experiences. It is also one of the world's premier sailing destinations, with events such as the BVI Spring Regatta attracting visitors from around the world. The economy is driven by tourism, financial services and offshore banking, and the territory is a well-known tax haven.
