WILLEMSTAD- February 11, 2025 – Recently, Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) together with private sector partners, participated in two international diving fairs. First, CTB, along with four partners, took part in boot Düsseldorf 2025, the largest international fair for watersports, which takes place annually in Germany. Next, CTB together with five partners, participated at Duikvaker in the Netherlands. The goal of Curaçao’s participation was to present our island as the destination with the best diving spots and to encourage visitors at the fairs to choose Curaçao for their next vacation.
Boot Düsseldorf 2025 welcomed over 200,000 visitors from 113 countries. The Curaçao team had a booth in the diving hall where all fair visitors could stop by to get information about Curaçao’s popular diving spots. Additionally, on the Dive stage, CTB together with private sector partners, gave 3 interviews, and on the Destination Seaside stage, they delivered 3 presentations. On the final day, the team hosted a Cocktail Happy Hour combined with a fun domino challenge for consumers to draw attention to the fact that Curaçao broke the Guinness World Record for underwater domino.
The Duikvaker fair took place in the Netherlands and featured information about diving spots as well as equipment for diving and snorkeling. This year, a total of 9,500 visitors attended the fair. During the event, the Curaçao team successfully showcased the most popular diving spots in Curaçao.
