Philippe Thevenet is the spokesperson for the association of hoteliers of French St. Martin. His statement is from the perspective of the hotels he represents and is very true for vacationers who want to come to St. Martin and staying in one of the unavailable hotels is an important part of their stay. We understand the impact of Irma, and recognize the island is different from pre-Irma. However, we look forward to going back next month to go to the beaches, enjoy a boating excursion or two, eat in some of the many restaurants that have reopened, shop for products available on the island, and in general enjoy the beauty of the island, the weather, and the people who live there as well as friends who will also be visiting while we're there.
