The Caribbean Airlines is all set to commence its operation to Tortola, British Virgin Islands on 14th October, and they have called all the passengers to be aware of a US$10 environmental and Tourism Levy fee for all passengers. 

This fee is applicable to every passenger, and they will have to pay it upon arrival at the British Virgin Islands. The fee is mandatory for every traveller as announced by the Government of the island nation. 

The Levy amount is to be paid for every passenger except if he/she is under the age of 3. The payment should be made at the airport through the customs officers. The passenger on arrival will get their Entry and Departure Card stamped by the immigration authorities.

The fees could be paid through different modes ranging from cash to credit or debit cards of major banks. This fee is applied in order to enhance the British Virgin Island's tourism.

The authorities state that the funds collected will be allocated to enhance the Territory's environment, support climate change initiatives, and maintain all the tourism sites.
