I have no dog in this 'fight' other than as a tourist from time to time and as one who promotes AC/SP/Belize as a wonderful place to visit to everyone I know, but all I have is an opinion. The island has and will continue to change either progressively or dare I say, otherwise. It is still very much less developed than any other caribbean destination and for those living there, I can surely understand wanting and needing progress and development to occur, hopefully as well-planned as possible for AC. Chris may be direct in his communication but he is a logical and knowledgeable dude, if a little sassy in his approach :P
