I'm going to agree to disagree with you on this one. Planet Hollywood has HUGE coffers for advertising. I think it's very much a chance for a whole new group of people to discover St. Maarten/St. Martin. As several people have noted lately, the demographic of SXM tourists continues to get older and older. Some of that is the generation who bought timeshares is getting older, but SXM has always had an older clientele than places like Cancun. I'm not saying SXM should become Cancun, but some younger tourists would be good for the country, I think.

Now, as far as timeshare owners, I guess I never knew that there were t/s owners there. I always thought of it as an a/I hotel. Based on recent events, it's probably logical to 'assume' that the t/s owners will get fleeced, IF this thing happens.
