STA makes Clarity on what is happening with travel partners.

PHILIPSBURG:--- The members of the Supervisory Council of the St. Maarten Tourism Authority (STA), would like to clarify what is and what is not happening with the STA, especially in light of the many comments pouring in from overseas travel partners over the lack of tourism promotion by St. Maarten .
The STA is essentially a foundation on paper at this point in time. The legal structure of this foundation was chosen by the previous Council of Ministers as a temporary construction that would allow funds from government’s destination marketing and tourism product development budget to go to work in a more effective and timely manner. As a secondary point the STA Foundation would allow private sector entities and government companies involved in tourism to contribute expertise in an advisory capacity only and potentially money as well, still under Government control. The intent was to create a public body or ZBO by national ordinance, as quickly as possible, that would replace the foundation and allow for structural private sector contributions. This was expected to take 18 months to 2 years.
Currently the STA foundation is without a Board, any employees, director and zero funds. These are the responsibility of government to provide as stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation of the STA. Currently only three of the five Supervisory Council positions have been filled by PJIA, the SHTA and the SMTA, with vacancies awaiting government action to fill the other two positions.
The three persons on the Supervisory Council were announced with some fanfare at the formation of the STA foundation. All three, by means of this statement, wish to inform the public that the STA has yet to be activated.
