It seems they send representatives to other islands and the states to promote tourism. I wonder where that money comes from? J.D.

Can't say that I've ever seen it before. Offhand, quite a bit of obsolete information on there, including that US Air flies to SXM. How many years has US Air been gone?? Two? Three?? Carol Hill
