Crime is almost non-existent in Cuba. Punishment is severe there and crime is not tolerated. We have always felt very safe on our visits there. Dave is right, St. MARTIN/ST. MAARTEN will definitely suffer when tourism dollars go to Cuba!I feel very sorry for all the SXM business people who depend on tourism for their livlihood. It is so sad that the government will not do anything to support the people and take a stand against all this crime.
