They are looking for a way to scam more dollars out of every visitor to the island. No where in that article does it mention what are the numbers of people who are visitors to the island that arrive infected or become infected while staying on the island. It would seem to me that those numbers, if very high would be driving this measure, but also, if those numbers were very high they would be shutting the island back down to visitors. I can guarantee you that the island is in partnership with the insurance companies and getting a cut from each and every policy written. This is just another form of taxation. I'm committed to traveling in November to SXM unless this stupidity from the island government continues. If it does continue, this might be my last visit. I hear there is an island going up for sale in the Bahamas, Epstein Estate Auction, maybe a few of us can form an LLC and purchase this island.
