It seems like a very easy argument to dispute. All that is required is a simple contact to the "Exumas Market", or maybe "Isle General" in Staniel to verify that the cruisers spend a lot of money on groceries and supplies. Just walk into Exuma Mkt during the "season" and then go there off season!!!!!!!!!!!
I am amazed at the attitude of Mr. Carey, but what mainly bothers me is that he is quoting facts that are absolutely wrong!!!!!!!
His statements just galvanize the good efforts that the LARGE majority of cruisers do for the country, that will stop when they quit visiting. He seems to think that they will come no matter the price, as a visiting cruiser I can confirm they will stop visiting. If his intentions are to stop the cruisers from coming to your wonderful Islands he is doing a very good job!!!!!!!!!!!!
