With its contribution of $ 25,000.00 UTS is a main sponsor of the Spotlight St. Maarten Marine Trades event which is slated to kick off today, Tuesday December 13th at The Yacht Club Isle De Sol in Simpson Bay. The event will showcase St. Maarten as a yachting destination and allow different marine trades partners to showcase their products and services to event attendees. The 5 day event will feature seminars, lectures, and round table discussions on various topics that are of interest for customers and businesses in the marine trade. One topic to be discussed is internet connectivity while staying on a yacht on the island temporarily. 'There are various internet service offerings out there for visitors to our island, but with our CaribServe 4G wireless broadband service, we are confident that we can offer our visitors the best broadband service available in the market,' says UTS Marketing and Communications Officer, Ivy Lambert. Attendees to spotlight St. Maarten will be able to try out the service at Isle De Sol and will also be able to get more information about how to get the service for their yacht or sailboat. The marine industry is an ever-growing sector of tourism for the island of St. Maarten, offering training and employment opportunities to locals as well. 'In supporting the development of this sector of tourism for the island it is our goal to contribute toward the sustainability of the tourism industry of the island. This sector is a lucrative sector of business which we believe will help in diversifying St. Maarten's tourism product,' Lambert continued. Following the various seminars throughout the week, a VIP cocktail party will be held for invited guests and government dignitaries on Friday evening at Isle De Sol. On Saturday afternoon a beach party and concert will be held on Kim Sha beach, which will be open to the public. Among others, Orange Grove will be performing to entertain the crowd.
