SHTA Membership Survey – Economy

The third and last winner of Island Water World’s Online Game prize of a dinghy-outboard combo, worth US $ 3200, is airline pilot Hervé “RV” Nizard, residing on Dominica.

Over the last three years, Hervé, a born Frenchman, has been developing an Eco Resort in La Plaine, on the East Coast of Dominica (www.citruscreekplantation.com). His strong commitment to sustainable development is further outlined by his Alternative Energy Company ‘Sustainable Earth’ which is serving the Caribbean (www.sustainableearth.dm).
Before coming to Dominica, Hervé sailed his catamaran, a Lagoon 380, for two years with his family up and down the Caribbean island chain. Previously Hervé lived for 17 years in Guadeloupe where he still owns Air Tropical.

From November until the end of January every online shopper at Island Water World’s new e-commerce website – www.islandwaterworld.com – was eligible to win a Walker Bay Air Floor Hypalon AF240 Dinghy and a Mercury-5HP-outboard Combo. The game ended in January but Island Water World’s website features daily great give-aways and super online specials!.

Previous winners were Vassil Kurtev from Bulgaria, currently visiting St. Maarten and Russell Morton, alias Sprout, from Antigua.
