There is no reason why a country like say, Jamaica which relies heavily on tourism , could not be a powerhouse like Japan.
Japan - 128 million people w/ area total: 377,835 sq km, land: 374,744 sq km, water: 3,091 sq km, Coastline: 29,751 km
Jamaica - less then 3 million people w/ area total: 10,991 sq km, land: 10,831 sq km, water: 160 sq km, Coastline: 1,022 km
O.k. now explain how they are supposed to be a powerhouse like Japan smart guy........
