The St. Eustatius Tourism awareness program is ongoing. Since the program started November last year, each month the department focussed on various forms of tourism and themes, such as; Community Tourism, Tourism in the Community, Sports Tourism, and Business Tourism. 

Please see itinerary below:
- November -- I AM TOURISM, video clip. (Community Tourism)
- December --  Christmas Tree District Light Up themed "Spread the joy, Light a tree" (Tourism in the Community)
- January -- I WANNA BE LIKE ASHA, run & walk. (Sports Tourism)
- February -- Month of Pride, Straight outta Statia (Community tourism)
- March -- Women's Day Conference & Gala -- (Business Tourism) 

More to come..

The primary purpose of the program is to increase, build tourism awareness on the island and at the same time, highlight the different aspects of tourism that exists locally. STDF strongly believes that this campaign will increase a high volume of awareness in the community. For the duration of the campaign, STDF will continue to work with the different stakeholders on the island. The tourism awareness campaign is expected to run until September this year.


In order to strengthen STDF's communication skills with locals and visitors alike, thThe Public Relation Officer at STDF, Teena Lopes is busy working on a network distribution list and is encouraging local's to get on board and join our email list. Persons may contact Ms. Lopes at [tel] 00599 3183081 or [e-mail] teena.lopes@statiatourism.com. 

We do hope that by STDF organizing this campaign our community will understand why their involvement in tourism is vital. This is one of the ways in which we plan to enforce our teachings and practices with Statia.
