One thing I forgot to mention is that the port & Royal Carinbean are building this huge entertainment center & hotel right at the port so how do they think this will affect Orient, the stores in town, small beach bar restaurants, etc? The answer is they don't care!! I believe that if people are kept right there it will also decrease the amount of converts to the island since they will never see anything but the port area. This government, or certain people within, don't give a darn about the local people it is all about filling their pockets & nothing else. Once that thing gets built with water parks, restaurants, stores & on & on Front street is done & Orient will take a big hit as well IMHO....
