Minister of Education Silveria Jacobs was present at the discussion and encouraged students to delve into the tourism product.
Tourist Bureau Head Rolando Brison was excited about the competition, having represented his school 16 years ago. He represented St. Maarten at CTO, and then the Caribbean as the first chairman of the CTO Youth Congress.
“I'm a first-hand witness to the power of youth tourism awareness initiatives like these in preparing future leaders of our tourism industry. This is a project very dear to my heart and I'm very pleased with our product development team at STB for doing such a great job putting this together,” Brison said during the opening of the discussion on Friday.
