Minister of Teatt Directs Psg to Develop Comprehensive Traffic and Passenger Flow Management Plan

Sint Maarten’s Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic and Telecommunication (TEATT), Grisha Heyliger-Marten, has formally directed the Port St. Maarten Group (PSG) to develop and submit a Comprehensive Congestion and Passenger Flow Management Plan. This instruction aims to address traffic congestion and mobility challenges in the Point Blanche and Philipsburg areas, particularly on cruise days. The directive follows ongoing concerns about increased congestion attributed to the island's expanding cruise tourism sector, which recorded over 1.5 million cruise passengers in the past year. With industry forecasts projecting continued growth in arrivals, the government deems it essential to proactively strengthen traffic management and passenger flow systems.
