The prison, and many like it on the mainland in French Guiana, closed more than 50 years ago. Their history haunts the French Guianese, who are eager for the world to discover their vast rain forests and eclectic culture of European lifestyles fused with the many traditions brought by Caribbean, Asian and South American immigrants.
The French government spends $2.2 million a year to shed that image, producing brochures and buying television commercials that show off jungles filled with jaguars and monkeys, beaches where huge tortoises waddle out of the surf, and fishermen whisking piranhas out of rivers.
The campaign dubbed "Personne ne vous croira" ("No one will believe you") seems to be working. Between 60,000 and 75,000 people a year have visited the French department of 200,0000 residents since 2001 a surge from the 1990s, when so few tourists came that officials stopped keeping track, says Karl Joseph, a spokesman for the Tourism Committee of French Guiana.
Travel booklets are devoted to debunking myths such as stories about rampant malaria and poisonous snakes. "Sanitary risks? Be assured that I came back in good health," says French Red Cross President Marc Gentilini in one book.

    Overview

    This study covers the outlook products in French Guiana. For the year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the French Guiana (in millions of U.S. dollars). Comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge French Guiana vis-à-vis regional and global totals. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

    Former penal colony captivating in French Guiana
    Sunday, August 07, 2005 By Peter Prengaman, The Associated Press
    ST. JOSEPH ISLAND, French Guiana Thick tropical vines wrap around rusty jail bars and trees grow inside cells in the 19th century prison on this far-flung island off South America, a relic of French Guiana's dark past as a penal colony where thousands of prisoners died of disease. The prison, and many like it on the mainland in French Guiana, closed more than 50 years ago. But their history haunts the French Guianese, who are eager for the world to discover their vast rain forests and eclectic culture of European lifestyles fused with the many traditions brought by Caribbean, Asian and South American immigrants. "This country has an image of prison and death," said Serge Colin, 74, a retired French navy captain who moved to St. Joseph and gives tours of the jail. "Even today, parents in France tell their young children, 'If you don't behave, I'll send you to French Guiana.' " The French government spends $2.2 million a year to shed that image, producing brochures and buying TV commercials that show off jungles filled with jaguars and monkeys, beaches where huge tortoises waddle out of the surf, and fishermen whisking piranhas out of rivers.
