Largest Visit Magazine to-date launches at Mix Rooftop Bar
Launch of the 2025 Visit St. Maarten / St. Martin Magazine at Mix Rooftop Bar
Divi Little Bay Resort’s Mix Rooftop Bar was the inspiring host location of the 2025 edition of St. Maarten Hospitality & Trade Association in-room magazine, Visit St. Maarten / St. Martin, this Wednesday. Publisher NorthSouthNet (NsN) officially revealed the most voluminous edition of the magazine thus far, carrying underwater cultural statue park “UnderSXM” on its cover.
Since 2014, the magazine is the official in-room magazine of the St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association (SHTA). CEO Garry Duell Jr. of NsN thanked all hotels, partners, advertisers and the many local writers and photographers contributing to the annual magazine.
Duell jr.: “With supporting this magazine, you support ongoing projects on behalf of the destination. From having island writers, artists and cultural icons describe the insider views on the destination, collaborating on campaigns in USA Today to supporting Webcams highlighting the destination, the Visit program remains on the outlook for opportunities to showcase island culture, history and initiatives and that St. Maarten / St. Martin is an amazing spot to spend your holidays in the process.”
Showcasing Local Talent in Largest Edition Yet
As SHTA has grown considerably over the past years, so did its magazine. Visit St. Maarten / St. Martin 2025 is the largest edition since the magazine started in 2014, with 50 more pages featuring additional stories about island culture, hospitality and activities. A new layout caters to more spacious and lush designs of local creative talents like Richard Hazel, Andrei Rochester and Amy Woudenberg Hamstra.
The magazine is available throughout the year in over 5,000 hotel rooms on island. In addition, many tourism hotspots serve as dispersion points of Visit Maps, Shopping and Dining & Activities brochures. Over time, the magazine has extended its reach to many French side hotel rooms.
UnderSXM Featured on the Magazine Cover
Diving and snorkeling park UnderSXM was commended for its amazing cover photo showing the great views of Little Bay above and under water. Underwater views include the new submarine statue park, depicting historical island icons and scenes.
Duell:”Many islanders modeled for the statues, making scuba diving and snorkeling in the park a double cultural immersion. Divi Resorts presence on the views above water made Mix Rooftop Bar a perfectly befitting location to launch the new magazine.” The publisher also highlighted the wholly restyled Visit Maps, now available in compact to-go format, and thanked Divi Little Bay Resort as a unique location to launch the magazine.
