Re: Return ticket requirement
daphne | Thu, 2007-10-25 14:05
I asked the question WHY in my blog post? What is the alterior motive for hassling (US) visitors?
What you express in your comment is exactly my gut feeling.
"Since US requires return tickets we should too".
I think this is a childish approach.
The US is a first world country. St Maarten is a thirld world country. The US doesn't need YOU there. They have enough problems with immigration already. That is why they need to be strict. Our economy here in SXM NEEDS the influx of dollars these wealthy Americans bring in. Completely different situation.
