Agree with doctoro and Macy Most communites don't see tourist dollars. Money sent down to familes is #1.
ok my mistake remittances are number one. Tourism number 2.
Doc: I guess I thought you were devaluing the 'tourism' contribution to the island. Although many do not see DIRECT tourism dollars I'd really hate to see the island without tourism. Imagine trying to live on the piddly bauxite (which matters NOT anymore as it's owned OFF SHORE ), sugar and coffee? Lordy...they would die.
