Our new favorite Island, St. Lucia, depends on two industries to support their economy: bananas and tourism. One of our local guides spoke of the negative impact that the upcoming war with Iraq has had on his business so far, and how we Americans & British will continue to stop traveling as the war continues. Recently, issues have been raised concerning decreases in crop quality and quantity of banana exports. Now they're saying that in 10 years there may be no bananas to export. Ouch. A double whammy.
