Nice positive article. Good for the island and tourism.

Yeah, but I can't find those flights from the US into Grand Case International, LOL. A little fact checking or better phrasing wouldn't have hurt...
"The island’s other airport, Grand Case International Airport, reopened to commercial flights in September; the airport offers daily flights to and from Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Bart’s and to and from destinations in Europe, Canada and the United States."

They consider both Miami and Paris as destinations on their website even though they don't offer direct flights to either.....they do this because I'm fairly sure you can book tickets to those destinations via Air France at the airport and their website (with one stop). I do agree that 'daily flights' like the article says should indicate direct flights.

At least they didn't list the old Marigot Seaplane Base, airport code MSB.
Overall, a pretty good article though.

Interesting that they mentioned Euro's not Guilders. "The Dutch government is helping with the recovery by providing the island with 550 million euros (about $634 million) in aid."
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
