Registrations for the Saint Martin / Sint Maarten Annual Regional Tradeshow (SMART) have now exceeded 100 companies, passing by the event’s last two editions in 2015 and 2017.

This was announced today by the four organizing partners, L’Association des Hoteliers de Saint-Martin, the Saint-Martin Tourism Office, the Sint-Maarten Tourist Bureau and the Sint-Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association. 

New subscriptions for SMART still come in every day. As the limits of available space in the Sonesta Maho Convention center have been reached, organizers recommend businesses still interested to register to buy a walkaround ticket – still allowing access to all festivities, workshops and activities.

The organizers are elated about the great attendance, being one of the most mixed editions in the 17-year history of SMART. The event will now host visitors from Anguilla, Antigua, the Bahamas, Belgium, Bonaire, Canada, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, France, Guadeloupe, Italy, Montserrat, the Netherlands, Panama, Puerto-Rico, Saba, St. Barths, St. Eustatius, St. Martin, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
