looks like they might have a pretty good shot at tourism money from

Most of that small island is very mountainous that will not grow much.
In addition there are not very many nice beaches. Most of the coast
is just coral. It does have lots of pretty scenery. I have quite a
few pictures that I took while I was stationed there back in the 60's.
