“If Saint Lucia cannot deliver to investors the claims of Invest St Lucia’s website, we will all pay the price. The website’s content needs to be adjusted to more truthfully reflect our current reality—if only to spare us further embarrassment at home and abroad.”

The St.Lucia Tourist Board should read the above. They too should stop promoting St.Lucia using glossy aerial shots of Marigot Bay, Grand Anse Beach, Pigeon Island, The Rodney Bay Marina, etc., etc., because when tourists do come to St.Lucia, as a result of such advertising, and have to travel on the ground, they’re disappointed for the most part (read Trip Advisor).
From the air, St.Lucia looks lovely; but on the ground (or on the roads) it’s a totally different story.
So it’s a form of deceptive advertising also.
