So regarding your r carribean post...what should people do?

if you must go visit the caribbean, don’t go to those awful all inclusive resorts. Don’t buy property there either; people who do are participating in something akin to gentrification. 

If you absolutely have to go, stay somewhere owned by locals. They may not be easy to find, but they’re there. When my family goes to Tobago, we always rent a condo with a full kitchen and everything from this sweet local lady. Buy fruits there, go to their grocery stores, support restaurants owned by the locals. If you have to go visit, make sure as much of your money is going directly to the locals as humanly possible. Tourism only helps a country when the money goes into the local economy.
