You can't even begin to compare St. Lucia to Beef Island. St. Lucia has 5 times the area, 4 times the population 3 times the available guest accomodations and has a very active ferry service to 6 other islands. More than 1/3 of the arrivals are going to destinantions other than St. Lucia which will not be the case at EIS and St Lucia does not have an established airport with service to 10 US destinations 30 miles away.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
