Boating: Saint-Martin victim of the clichés of the rich island

0

In order to help the nautical industry in Saint-Martin after the passage of Hurricane Irma to rebuild itself, the Federation of Nautical Industries (FIN) launched a crowdfunding campaign via the Ekosea platform as many other companies have been able to do this on other sites. But that of the END had trouble getting started because Saint-Martin is the victim of clichés and has been the subject of criticism rather than support.

Internet users have estimated that Saint Martin being a tax haven where wealthy people live, own luxury villas, does not need financial assistance. They also think that only mega yachts anchor in Saint-Martin, which generates sufficient revenue to rebuild.

In light of these criticisms, it was decided to discontinue the promotion of the crowdfunding campaign on social networks. Furthermore, Métimer, which will be at the nautical show in Paris from December 2 to 9, has prepared a booklet presenting Saint-Martin and the nautical sector. At the request of the Ekosea platform, the association has drawn up frequently asked questions to put an end to these preconceived ideas. (More details on www.soualigapost.com)
