I find it interesting that you so easily dismiss the mode of transportation by which more than three quarters of the overnight visitors arive. True the ferry system is delapidated and poorly run but that is exactly my point! Even if the Beef Island expansion is wildly successful beyond even the most optimistic projections the ferry service will still carry half the overnight visitors. For many many reasons travel via STT will always have a price, schedule and total travel time advantage over EIS.

It is also mistifying to me that you seem to distain the middle and upper-middle class market that makes up the meat and potatoes of Caribbean tourism.
