Introduction When you think of the Caribbean you imagine Afro-style culture with African-inspired food and music, and that would be correct unless talking about St. Barts. While the other islands make money from exports as well as tourism, St. Barts only relies on tourism and has zero exports. In fact, almost everything on the island has to be imported from other countries which has resulted in the cost of living on the island skyrocketing as well as the cost to visit the island making the island a go-to place to visit for celebrities looking to escape. The island has one city and still flys the French flag to this day and all of this is due to the geology of the island itself.
