Tourism tax is ok but to charge nightly is kind of excessive. A one time fee on entry alone is better I think. But if they just add the new taxes to the hotel cost without the visitor really noticing ( fine print on the receipt ) and no doubt that is how they are going to do it. I see no problem with it though as I can imagine most Saint Lucians have to pay outrageous fees to apply for a visa to go to the countries where most of the tourists come from. ( And they aren't getting the $160-250 back if the visa is denied).
