disclaimer: i am not a resident of SP, and have no say. my opinion is only that of a repeat visitor.

tg, i mean this nicely...but does anyone think the kind of guests that would stay at a place designed like south beach maimi, complete with neon & glitz, set up basically as an 'all-inclusive' ('why leave the compound? we have everything you need right here at SB'), care about the eco-tourism? the sun and palms will still be there for them to see on the website photos...you cant "see" the damage below the sea (including possible diminished fish populations).

i am disappointed in the assessment of the meeting, but by no means surprised.
