It is listed that SXM gets about 1.8 million passengers per year, although probably not accurate but guessing fairly close to that number. But at 1.6 million at $15 per that is $2 million dollars per month that they are bringing in. Take that amount and subtract the cost to operate that system and hotels and I would guess they are netting in the $1.5 Million per month range pretty easily. That is a tough number to give up for that government. Sure would be interesting to know how many people actually were able to successfully make a claim.

I sure would feel better if I had confidence in where that profit really went. Oh well, $15 is not going to make a difference in my decision and I am sure they know that.
