We talk the talk, but we don’t walk the walk, especially when it comes to tourism, which is “key” in theory only. Suffice it to say that this island could be as well off as St. Barths, but for our so-called leaders of the past 20 years. Advice to Gov’t: Get people who know what they’re doing, not your friends. Until then, our island will be poorly shown to the world (sadly, they think they’re doing a great job). That’s enough, or this will turn into a never-ending rant.
