An article in the New York Times discusses the economic effects of the travel shutdown for St. Maarten: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/world/americas/virus-tourism-caribbean.htmlQuoting: "...during the decades that he’s been involved in the tourism business in the Caribbean island nation of Sint Maarten, Emil Lee has never seen anything remotely like the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. “A switch got flipped,” said Mr. Lee, whose family manages a hotel on Sint Maarten, which shares a 34-square-mile island with the French territory Saint-Martin. “And now there’s no tourism.” POST EDITED BY CAROL HILL TO REMOVE MOST OF THE POST--You posted a link. That is sufficient.
