I could be wrong, often am, but I would have thought the numbers would be based on people who arrived at the airport or elsewhere and went through immigration (as opposed to those in transit). That makes NO sense that the number of stayover visitors would not include those staying at places through VRBO, etc. I agree that VRBO, etc., is a huge number of people. Irma did take out several hotels/timeshares, yes, like the Westin, the Sonesta Great Bay, the Summit, the Towers and the Ocean Club, off the top of my head. That is a fair number of people. I would not be surprised if at least some people who owned at the Towers/ Summit/Ocean Club/etc, would be totally disenchanted with SXM and choose to go elsewhere afterward.
