The SMTA Dollar-a-Day program has been going on since 2005. We ask our guests to voluntarily contribute one dollar per day on their room bill that goes to the SMTA community development projects.

Two thirds of the funds collected goes to educational projects and one third goes to beautifying St. Maarten, both in the tourism areas and where the workers live. Less than 5% goes to administering the program.
