Dear Editor,
In my opinion the most important thing for the tourist industry and the economy is to get a good first impression of St. Maarten, as there will be no second first impression.
I believe it is when the cruise ship passengers come off the ships and walk on the walk to Philipsburg when most get their first impression of St. Maarten. So this is very important.
This week’s work, on the walk most tourists take for the first time, was impressive and well done.
Congratulations to St. Maarten for a good start in this so important renovation part.
Paul Ingram
