Vieques Tourism
by Marie
(New York, NY)
My mother was born and raised in Vieques and I have been traveling there all of my life. However, after the Navy left the island, tourism boomed to an extent i had never witnessed before. I think it is kind of childish that tourism only thrives once the malicious Navy abuse stopped. I wish that the new tourist are informed of the true nature of the island's history and do not simply view my family's precious homeland and a hip and chic location to vacation.
