Despite the world traveling again at a record pace its not surprising SXM lagging behind. The do little non productive government does not promote the island properly like the other Islands and the Gov was very very slow to get rid of the Covid entry restrictions so a LOT of tourist booked OTHER Islands for high season. Plus island upkeep is just lacking as the island is just not maintained. It's not rocket science what needs to be done to improve tourism but it seems its just a lot of political lip service but little action, then it takes FOREVER to finish anything....like the airport or hospital and the gov does NOT take legit outside good opinion for very well. It's sad because the jobs needed for food for SXM families , opportunity and money the island is losing huge. The island is very busy however...we all know traffic is a mess. SXM could have the best of about everything...if only. IMO
