Heyliger-Marten and Port St. Maarten officials to attend FCCA conference

Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport and Telecommunication Grisha Heyliger-Marten will join Port St. Maarten Group Chief Executive Officer Alexander Gumbs and other port officials at the 32nd Annual Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association Cruise Conference and Trade Show in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The conference runs from Monday 12 October to Friday 16 October at the Puerto Rico Convention Center.

According to the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association, the event is expected to draw more than 700 delegates and representatives from over 15 international cruise lines. Its programme includes meetings with cruise executives, workshops, networking sessions and discussions on infrastructure, itineraries, passenger experiences and other industry matters.

The delegation’s attendance follows Sint Maarten’s participation in the FCCA PAMAC Cruise Summit earlier this year, according to the report. Sint Maarten also hosted the FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show in October 2024.
