TOURISM: “Staycation” 2021 edition, let's go!

0

The Saint-Martin Tourist Office held a press conference last Tuesday to officially launch the second edition of its "I am Saint-Martin Staycation" device

Program which will run from July 1 to August 31, Staycation aims to introduce the island's tourist offers to its population, to revitalize the local economy which needs it more than ever given the current health context, to raise awareness the public to tourism and finally, to create contact with socio-professionals, through discount vouchers to be spent in participating establishments, grouping together four categories: hotels, restaurants, activities and shops. When the first edition made it possible to reinject more than one million euros in the Saint-Martin economy with 62 registered companies, the second promises a great success with no less than 81 participating companies, partly French, with  allocated budget of € 515000, including € 15000 paid by the CCISM (Interprofessional Consular Chamber of Saint-Martin) and reserved for the trade part. 13000 reduction coupons will therefore be distributed, 2000 € 100 coupons to spend in 14 hotels on the island (for a minimum purchase of € 200 and accessible only to residents of Saint-Martin and Sint-Maarten), 5000 € 30 coupons in 33 restaurants (for a minimum purchase of € 60), 5000 vouchers of € 30 in 10 activity centers (for a purchase of minimum € 60) and 1000 vouchers of € 15 in 24 stores (for a purchase of minimum € 30 ). Residents of the territory are warmly invited to participate in this action as they can benefit from up to € 350 in discount vouchers compared to € 150 for visitors. Another novelty this year, Staycation is going 100% digital with its “Staycation-StMartin” application available on Google Play and Apple Store, the tutorial of which will be available online on July 1st.  The two vouchers per person for each sector of activity (or can be combined into one voucher at a time) will take the form of a QR Code, which will be scanned by the professional of the establishment concerned. What to spend a superb summer. _VX
