St Maarten
has become the latest host country for the roving Caribbean Rum & Beer
Festival which will take place on 6 – 7 November 2015. Now in its fifth year,
the festival brings together some of the finest rum and beer products from the Caribbean
and beyond, in a vibrant setting complete with Caribbean food, culture and
entertainment.
Festival
Director Ms. Cheryl Collymore explained, “As a genuine Caribbean festival it is
important for us to hold the event throughout the region. We have previously
been in Barbados and Grenada and now we are in “Amazing” St Maarten. St Maarten
is an ideal location for this growing event; it is beautiful, it attracts over 2
million high-end visitors from around the world to its shores each year, and
its duty free shopping is some of the best in the Caribbean.”
“We are
looking forward to working closely with the tourism agencies in St Maarten to
market the destination and the festival to the widest possible international
audience.”
Azure
Management Services Inc., a Barbados based company, is responsible for the
Caribbean Rum & Beer Festival. Operations Director Dr. Glyn Williams
commented, “Our festival exhibitors recognise the benefits of taking part in a
boutique event where they can introduce their products to a sophisticated international
audience, to build brand recognition and support. The fact that this all takes
place in a fabulous Caribbean setting all helps to create a memorable
experience for the patrons. ”
