PHILIPSBURG:--- During the penultimate weekend of March, Fun Miles, its partners, and hundreds of visitors enjoyed St. Maarten's first Fun Expo held at Kooyman Megastore. The Fun Expo – part of Fun Miles' 15th anniversary celebrations – was a three-day event where the public had the opportunity to experience the full potential of Fun Miles all in one place.

The organization looks back on a successful, fun gathering with a turnout that exceeded all expectations. Fun Miles is the Caribbean's most popular customer reward program.
