WILLEMSTAD- January 31, 2024 – Recently an agreement was reached for the management of the Marie Pampoen Recreation Area. The signing of the agreement took place between the Government of Curaçao, represented by the Minister of Economic Development, Mr. Ruisandro Cijntje and the Minister of Traffic, Transportation and Urban Planning, Mr. Charles Cooper and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), represented by Mr. Hugo Clarinda, deputy director. The goal of this management agreement is to ensure that the developed area will maintain its touristic and recreational value in a sustainable way.
Over the last few years, the different phases of the Marie Pampoen Recreation Area have been developed. At the moment, final work is being done in order to finish phase 3, while the process is underway to develop the plans and allocate the necessary funds for the last phase (phase 4). The Marie Pampoen Recreation Area offers a variety of recreational opportunities and sports, as well as business opportunities for the Curaçao community at large, and especially for the inhabitants of Marie Pampoen. At the same time, the area serves as a tourist attraction where tourists can meet the locals and experience our people and our island. This project is financed with funds provided by the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO) and CTB oversees the project coordination.
In the signed agreement, the Government of Curaçao and CTB have established the conditions by which the area and the available facilities should be maintained to create a unique and sustainable experience for the Curaçao community and for the tourists who visit the area.
