Tourism activities were not interrupted by the mild effects of cold front #43, and there were no serious incidents, which is a "saldo blanco". There was some heavy traffic at times, which taxi drivers blame on the nearly 600 golf carts in circulation now, due to new concession and expansions in that industry on the island.
