Visit of Mrs. Ena Harvey Of IICA


St.Eustatius Tourism Development Foundation was privileged to have had Mrs Ena Harvey, a Representative of Inter-American Institute Cooperation of Agriculture (IICA) in Costa Rica. Mrs Harvey is based in Barbados and arrived on Tuesday August 4th 2009. The purpose of her visit was; linking agriculture and tourism (Agrotourism). On Wednesday Mrs Harvey met individually with a cross-section of the farmers of the island and had a very fruitful discussion. The following day she met with the Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr Roy Hooker, which resulted in a positive follow-up plan for a more sustainable combined agrotourism on the island. Mrs Harvey climaxed with a very interesting presentation with the general public on Friday afternoon from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Mrs Harvey told the group, She enjoyed the historical tour and the island tour, and was very impressed with the history of the island. Mrs Harvey humbly admitted that she did not know that St.Eustatius was one of the most historical islands of the Caribbean. Mrs Harvey also enjoyed the genuinely friendly people of the island. Her visit was a very successful one. Mrs Harvey departed for Barbados on Saturday morning August 8th.

Ms Martine Beldor Doing Internship in St.Eustatius


Intern Ms Martine Beldor, a student from the French West Indies of St.Martin, arrived on the island August 2nd and is presently studying at the University of Michel de Montaigne in Bordeaux France where she is preparing for a Bachelor Degree in foreign languages, English and Spanish with an option in International Tourism. In the framework of her school programme, Martine is required to carry out the internship abroad and has chosen to do her internship in the Caribbean, and particularly on the Island of St.Eustatius for one month. Martine wanted to get a close insight on the development of tourism on such an authentic and historic and beautiful island. Being at the St.Eustatius Tourism Development Foundation as an intern, is providing me with a valuable experience and enables me to acquire various working skills in the tourism field. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the St.Eustatius Tourism Development Foundation for giving me this wonderful privilege. Martine remarked, she loves the island and its friendly people. The Foundation would also like to thank Martine for choosing St.Eustatius to do her internship.
The Tourism Foundation would like to wish Ms Martine Beldor all the best and much success in all her endeavours.
