ʻO ka hoʻokipa ma mua, kahi papahana hoʻomaʻamaʻa kula St. Maarten (SMTF), ua hoʻolaha aku ua loaʻa iā ia kahi kālā he $ 4.5 miliona mai nā Aupuni o Holland a me St. Maarten. Kuhi ʻia e hiki mai ana kahi kālā hou aʻe mai ke kālā hilinaʻi e lawelawe ʻia e ka World Bank no € 470 miliona i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ke Aupuni o Nūlani e kōkua i ke kūkulu hou ʻana a me ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana o ka mokupuni. Ua kau inoa ʻia ke kālā hilinaʻi ma Wakinekona, DC ma ʻApelila 16, 2016 ma waena o The Netherlands a me ka World Bank.

Ke hoʻomaopopo nei i ka pono nui e hoʻolako i kahi upena palekana kaiapuni i nā limahana o ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa nāna i hopohopo e lilo i kā lākou mau hana ma muli o ka pani ʻana o nā hōkele ma hope o ka Hurricane Irma, ʻoiai ʻaʻohe pōmaikaʻi hana ʻole ma Dutch St. Maarten, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo SMTF i Kēkēmapa 2017 e kahi hui o nā luna ʻoihana hopohopo, e like me nā ʻelele o ka Maho Group, Sunwing Group, Price Waterhouse Cooper a me nā Loio Lexwell, me ka hana koke e hoʻoulu i ka papahana hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻokipa mua loa o ka mokupuni no nā ʻoihana. Ua hāʻawi mua nā mea hoʻokumu i kāna waihona hoʻomaka e uhi i nā kumukūʻai hana a me ka ʻae ʻana o ka hele ʻana o nā haumāna.

He mea koʻikoʻi ka hāʻawi a nā Aupuni i ka kūleʻa a me ke ola o ka hana, a ʻekolu o nā Kuhina Waiwai o St. Maarten, ʻo Mr. Richard Gibson lāua ʻo Mr. Michael Ferrier, a me ke Kuhina o ka hana a me ka nohona kaiāulu ʻo Mr. Emil Lee. mea hana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka waihona kālā a ke Aupuni a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka waiwai e pono ai e hāʻawi kālā ʻia. He ʻelua aupuni ʻokoʻa ʻo St. Maarten mai ka wā ʻo Hurricane Irma.

Me kahi mikiona ikaika e kōkua i ka hoʻomohala ʻana, a me nā holomua o nā mākaukau ʻoihana ma o nā papahana hoʻohui, kūkulu a me ka hoʻonaʻauao, nā pahuhopu ʻo Hospitality First e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā manawa kūpono i loko o ka limahana hoʻokipa ʻo Sint Maarten. Ke kākau inoa nei me ka hoʻokipa Mua, nā haku hana nona nā wahi hōkele i pani ʻia mai ka wā ʻo Hurricane Irma, ʻaʻole pono e haʻalele i kā lākou limahana; hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i kā lākou mau limahana i ka Hoʻokipa Mua no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a me ka hōʻoia ʻoiai lākou e kūkulu hou nei i nā hōkele. Loaʻa i nā limahana kahi uku i ka wā e hele ana i nā papa, mālama i kā lākou mau hana a me nā pōmaikaʻi me kā lākou mau haku hana, e like me ka ʻinikua olakino, ʻoiai e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i kā lākou ʻike a me nā mākau. Hāʻawi ʻo Hospitality First i kāna mau papa i nā poʻe he nui i lilo i kā lākou hana a nele i ka hana.

Ua hoʻonui hou aku ʻo SMTF i kāna papa alakaʻi e hoʻopili i kahi lunamakaʻāinana o ka Ministry of Tourism and Economic Affairs, kahi lunamakaʻāinana o ka Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, a me kahi lunamakaʻāinana o ka St. Maarten Marine Trade Association. Ua koho ʻia ka St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association (SHTA) ma ka papa ma hope o ke koho ʻana o SHTA i pelekikena o SMTF.

Ke manaʻo nei ʻo hoʻokipa ma mua e holo i kāna papahana no ʻelua mau makahiki, akā e hoʻonui a hoʻolōʻihi paha i kāna nuʻukia ma muli o nā kūlana. Hoʻolālā ʻia nā hoʻolālā e hoʻonui i kāna mikiona ma ʻō aku o ka ʻaoʻao hoʻokipa.
