SXM as usual. As for accuracy of reporting. That is anyones guess. yellow journalism seem to be more prevelent now.

I think the windfall for OB is that the untouched restaurants now have about half the competition now. The soon to be new restauranrs will have a short life span due to the increased overhead, so they can't be competeive .

But the ships tour busses will have a nice place to park. And the tourists can walk to the older cheaper prices restaurants.

Remember there are only X amount of tourists from the ships. So if the ships tour busses take more passengers to OB that means some place in SXM is getting less passenger business. And if they go by tour busses that means less passengers for taxi drivers.

SXM??? Wendell
