I agree completely. Long gone are the days when San Pedro was a fishing village.
Today there's one and only one industry on Ambergris Caye, and that's tourism (along with support businesses like lodging, dining, transportation, tours, construction, etc.)
Not everyone likes what tourism represents, but as long as it feeds nearly everyone on the island, directly or indirectly, it has to be the island's priority, and tourists have to be taken care of.
