PHILIPSBURG:--- Group Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of HCP Aboard Publishing's Garry Duell Jr. paid a courtesy call to St. Maarten Hospitality & Trade Association SHTA Thursday to update the association on new initiatives being worked on for the 2013 issue of Experience St. Maarten/St. Martin.
Duell Jr. along with HCP Publishing's Area Manager for the US, Canada, Brazil, Barbados and Curacao, Jussara Albuquerque, met with SHTA President Emil Lee and SHTA Executive Director Alfred Harley and discussed the future of the magazine.
Duell Jr. through the relationship SHTA can tap into the over US$250,000.00 in advertising dollar value that was available each year for promoting the destination. This is an added benefit that Duell Jr. has encouraged SHTA to continue to capitalize on as it gives them access to millions of potential visitors. The exposure comes through HCP Aboard Publishing being a sister company of the Miami Herald which has over 32 sister newspapers across the United States.
HCP Aboard Publishing is a sister company to International Media giant Miami Herald and reaches over 75 million travelers per year through its many publications and its experiencedestinations.com websites of which St. Maarten is prominently featured.
SHTA has been fully supportive of the work done by Experience St. Maarten magazine for over ten years. The magazine continues to be the exclusive publication that is put in the hotel rooms throughout St. Maarten.
