Perhaps it just A Natural Mystic IN April that COVID-19, influenced St. Martiner’s to turn to Home-growing.
As the COVID-19 pandemic starts to settle in and get a hold on the masses, there is a major shift in the atmosphere. Farming and back yard gardens have seem to be taking over world wide, even more here on the beautiful Island of St Maarten as people from all walks of life start to notice the threat of their food security by closure of supermarkets and essential goods outlets. Now more then ever we turn to nature to provide a sense of security.
With our local grand cultural event, carnival also being cancelled, everyone is stuck in doors still waiting to hear what the near future will bring.
Kids get adjusted to less social interaction , businesses close, jobs lost and people now trying to get a grip on what tomorrow will bring that will offer opportunity to put food on the table.
Although our tourism economy stoped at a halt, perhaps this will grant us new opportunity to take a deeper look at Carnival, Culture and COVID-19, and take a moment to Reflect.
Dr Antonio Carmona Báez also expressed in this month of CX that The COVID-19 pandemic an opportunity to break with our past and see new beginnings that lay ahead.
Now more then ever the reevaluation of what our cultural and tourism product is, in term of quality, needs to be giving more attention that it may also be a concept or product that not only our visitors would love to enjoy, but our locals as well.
