Ngaphezu kwalokho, abasebenzi be-regatta namavolontiya, abezindaba nabaxhasi banesandla ekuthelekeni kwabantu.

Izindawo zokudlela, izitolo zegrosa , izinkampani zezinsiza zasolwandle kanye nezinkampani eziqashisa ngezimoto eziqashisayo zizuza kakhulu kule micimbi, Njengoba u-90% wamakamelo amahhotela endawo e-St. Barths evaliwe ukuze alungiswe kulo nyaka, ama-villas azimele avela kuma-ejensi afana ne-WIMCO azohlalisa abasebenzi nabaxhasi, futhi amele umthombo obalulekile wemali engenayo kuhulumeni wasekhaya.
