1,200 expected to attend conference
The Organizing Committee for the 2014 Florida Caribbean Cruise Conference (FCCA) to be hosted by St. Maarten is in place, and work is underway to prepare for the conference that is expected to bring in approximately 1,200 conference attendees.
The main conference hotel has been selected which is the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino.
The Port of St. Maarten has already received confirmation from several delegates that they will also be traveling with their families for a pre and post conference stay on the island.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Mingo said that this is a great opportunity for St. Maarten to showcase itself to the conference attendees. Tour operators and interested sponsors should contact the port for their participation in the FCCA Conference.
