Overview of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha

This British Overseas Territory comprises three remote South Atlantic islands. Economic activity centres on fisheries, public administration and, on Ascension, communications and military infrastructure.

Economic Context

Saint Helena opened an airport in recent years, ending centuries of sea-only access and creating limited tourism potential.

Ascension Island hosts communications, satellite tracking and military facilities of strategic significance. Tristan da Cunha is among the most remote permanently inhabited places in the world, with an economy based on lobster fishing.

What Investors Examine

Remoteness and logistics cost dominate any commercial assessment.

Population scale is very small across all three islands.
