Tourism 101 is get people there and even more importantly doing what it takes to get them back. Happy repeat travelers also bring along many more with them both directly and indirectly. Just like any sales and marketing operation bringing new customers in is the hardest and most expensive part. Repeat customers are key! If you do not nail the transportation issues nothing else matters on the list of tourism must or should do's.

FYI if we all get rental cars we will have traffic issues.... etc Those that live on shore based tourism need to make their own noise towards improving visitor transportation. If it is expensive or a hassle to dine out, tour, beach hop or just get to the big villa on the hill the whole economy will suffer.

Where tourism is successful the taxi drivers are some of the best ambassador for the venue. A few bad ones can do an awfull lot of damage in short order.
