I have no idea what the number is in SXM. Anyone know? This link lists places they claim are hardest hit by the loss of tourism dollars. Really surprised they listed the BVI second there, as I would think that there are a lot of islands in the Caribbean where the tourism percentage of GDP is much higher. The number for Aruba seems very low, to me.

Agreed, they are hesitant for a reason, and we definitely do NOT have our stuff together here.. Our little tiny town has doubled from 30 confirmed cases, to 60 confirmed, in the past WEEK.

“Tourism drives Sint Maarten’s economy: in 2016 it directly accounted for 45% of GDP and 73% of its foreign exchange earnings.” This is taken right from the St Maarten Trust Fund report and is based upon 2016 data. The telling number is the earnings number.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

OK, and NONE of this has anything to do with the original topic. This one is done.
