One of the first major distinctions seen through the eyes of a tourist as opposed to a native occurs at the airport. A tourist wonders why something like an airport is named after the prime minister without knowing what the rest of the place looks like and whether or not the airport is the best, most attractive and productive, part of Antigua. Besides questioning the name of the airport, a tourist sees the greens of the island and the vegetation being produced by it and assumes that the location receives mass quantities of rain fall, when in actuality a native knows that they experience droughts constantly.
In addition to the outlook of the location, the natives that inhabit it our also judged by their appearance. A tourist, more specifically, a white tourist, passes through customs with ease no questions asked; whereas, an African American native is searched and publicly humiliated by an unnecessay invasion of privacy.
