During those months, there are a higher number of cruise ships that visit the island. Those cruise ships bring lots of people who explore the island and of course spend money during their visit. Most people spend money at local stores and buy souvenirs so they can remember their visit.
From this total, in 2010 the most part of this money was wasted on the commissions for stores selling these tickets, and prizes; the government received only $17.9 billion, which broke down to 30 percent in profits and 8 percent in administrative costs.
