A NIGHTTIME SESSION FOR MERCHANTS
29/11/2024
The island's merchants are organizing a nighttime event this Friday, November 29, in Gustavia and Saint-Jean. More than fifty stores in Gustavia and about fifteen in Saint-Jean will welcome visitors and residents of the island until 10 p.m. during meetings around a welcome aperitif. "Shopping time or strolling in the streets of Gustavia, Villa Créole or the Vaval center, this nighttime event is part of the beautiful spirit of Thanksgiving, writes the Tourism Committee in a press release. Around great meetings, exchanges and conviviality, the merchants are setting a new tone this Friday to boost this tourist season that is starting. This first event concretizes the momentum given by the new members of the Saint-Barthélemy merchants association (ACSB) and thus, supports the island and the destination in a privileged and sharing event. »
The Saint-Barthélemy Tourism Committee wanted to be a partner of this evening event by supporting the initiative as indicated by its president, Alexandra Questel: "The Saint-Barthélemy Tourism Committee is at the center of the island's tourist fabric. Our role is to support each sector. It is therefore quite natural for us to provide our support and contribution to this great initiative. Which, I hope, will be repeated." Victoria Pothier, vice-president of the Association of Shops, confirms this common desire "to offer a unique shopping experience for locals and tourists during an evening marked by conviviality, sharing and proximity." The merchants of Gustavia and Saint-Jean who participate in the evening now hope to have the pleasure of welcoming customers and curious people into their stores after dark.
