WILLEMSTAD- 30 di ougùstùs 2016 – This past week, the Curaçao Tourist Board, Curaçao Airport Partners and hotel members from the Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association successfully completed another promotional roadshow in New York City. As part of the events, the organizations hosted a “batido truck” pop-up event in the Flatiron district and Union Square, two of New York’s most high-traffic areas.

With the goal of reaching and engaging New York consumers, the organizations planned an attention-grabbing stunt. The event was designed to create awareness of the island and provide New Yorkers with the opportunity to learn about Curaçao, interact with the island partners, enter to win a trip giveaway and enjoy a signature Curaçao batido.

On August 24^th, the batido truck was parked behind the iconic Flatiron Building, and on August 25^th, the roaming batido truck was parked along Union Square. Adorned with the words “Right Now in Curaçao,” corresponding with the tourism board’s new marketing and advertising campaign, the vibrant batido truck was an eye-catching spectacle. While staff and employees handed out free batidos, island partners had the chance to tell New Yorkers more about the island and the nonstop flights on JetBlue, as well as pass out branded swag. Several trip giveaways were presented on-site with another two winners to be selected through an online and social media contest.

As a result, the events created a flurry of social media engagement, as locals were encouraged to use the special event hashtag, #RightNowInCuracao, and use the Curaçao-branded Snapchat filter.

During the two days, more than 3,000 New Yorkers enjoyed a batido with another 600,000 exposed to the island through social media. Thanks to the successful marketing activation, Curaçao is gearing to become a top-of-mind destination for New Yorkers.

Chester grew up with the Jewish, French, and Italian melodies he heard as a child at home and later he was equally enamored with American R&B ( Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder) and the British rock movement (Beatles, Yes, Jethro Tull). His music has grown to include elements of classical music, jazz, Afro-Caribbean, and Venezuelan folk music.

A former member of rock and pop bands like Trams, Way, and Melao, Ilan has also recorded four productions for the English speaking market. Chester has gained fame as an exceptional artist in Venezuela and all over Latin America since launching his solo career in 1983 and filling up massive auditoriums and theatres.

After a series of memorable albums, including Amistad, Sólo Faltas Tú, Así, and Cancionero Del Amor Venezolano, Vols. 1, 2 & 3, he attracted even more international attention with the platinum-selling album Corazón Navideño and a collection of six CDs titled Tesoros de la Música Venezolano that sold more than 500.000 copies in Venezuela alone in just a few weeks.

Ilan Chester is recognized everywhere by artists and critics alike as one of the most talented composers and singers in the Spanish language. Many of his songs became international hits by Latin stars like Mark Anthony, Cheo Feliciano, and Chayenne and he has followers all around the globe.

As of January 1, 2017, any apartments that are currently featured on the website and which have not yet registered to participate will no longer appear on the website. In May of this year, the introduction was announced of a certification program for the tourism and hospitality sector. The program is aimed at promoting and maintaining quality among the businesses operating in this sector. As part of the program, an audit program was introduced, applying to apartments rented out to tourists. The program is based on locally and internationally accepted quality standards. Quality audits will be carried out by the CITI every two years. Besides being featured on www.curacao.com and enjoying the promotional opportunities involved, registered businesses enjoy several other benefits, such as participation in local and international marketing activities and use of the program’s quality-assurance logo.

WILLEMSTAD – September 20, 2016 -The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) reports an additional 3,728 visitors until July 2016. Altogether a total of 261,455 visitors were registered from January through July against 257,727 in the same period last year.The first seven months of the year 2016 is showing a 1% growth in stay over arrivals. This growth is mainly attributable to the performance of the European and Caribbean regions in the period from January through July of this year. The European market delivered the largest relative growth at 5% and the Caribbean region did well at 2%. The South American region decreased recording 7% less visitors. From the North American region a slight 1% decrease is recorded.

CTB and MEO utilizes the ‘Turistika Model’ to calculate the economic impact generated from the tourism industry. During the first seven months of 2016 a direct impact of $ 294.3 million US dollars is generated for the local economy. 51% of the total direct impact is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 149.5 million. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 66.1, $ 60.2 and $ 18.5 million US dollars.

July 2016 Arrivals
The main producing region, Europe, represents a significant 47% of all the visitors to Curaçao. The region provided a total of 17,367 stay over arrivals compared to the 17,183 recorded in July 2015. The geopolitical situation in Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia has influenced the travel patterns in Europe considerably. In the beginning of the summer months there was a big shift of these travelers to Spain, Portugal, Ibiza, resulting in higher prices for these destinations; therefore we are seeing a growth from most European cities towards the Caribbean. The Netherlands recorded a slight decrease of 1% with 13,955 visitors in July 2016 compared to 14,159 in 2015. July, being the month where most families travel during the summer vacation period is always a good month from the Netherlands, however this decline was caused by the nice weather in the Netherlands. The German market is showing an increase of 9%. And from Belgium a 53% increase was registered. The increase from Belgium is the result of this geopolitical situation and the fact that TUI launched the Curaçao program by incorporating the train costs from Belgium to Schiphol in the airfare.

Stay over arrivals from North America increased slightly by 2% in July with a total of 5,675 visitors compared to the 5,583 visitor arrivals in July 2015. The United States recorded an increase in arrivals of 7%, while Canada recorded 29% decrease compared to July 2015. This decrease was caused by a weak Canadian dollar and the fact that this July had only 4 flights compared to 5 last year. Presently, in accordance with the strategic recommendations of the Tourism Master Plan 2015-2020, a short term as well as longer term plan is being developed by the tourism sector. Certainly, a main objective is to accelerate tourism growth out of the North American region, in particular the US market.

The South American market decreased by 6% in July 2016, with a total of 8,628 stay over arrivals compared to 9,177 in 2015. Venezuela continues to be a volatile market, thus recording a 16% decrease, while Colombia registered a slight decrease of 2% in July. Brazil registered an increase for the third consecutive month. The arrivals recorded show an increase of 19%.

The Caribbean region recorded a decrease of 4%visitors in July 2016. In total 3,423 Caribbean visitors are registered this year.

In terms of visitor nights a neutral performance of 0% is registered in July 2016. A total of 331,392 nights are registered in July 2016. The European region holds 64% share of all visitor nights in July. From Europe a total of 212,909 nights are counted. The North American and Caribbean regions recorded respectively 2% and 4% more visitor nights compared to July 2015.

Willemstad – September 19, 2016 – World Tourism Day is celebrated worldwide on September 27^th. On this day, awareness is raised among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value. This year, the world will celebrate this day with a common theme; ‘Tourism for All’. CTB will use this theme as a platform to remind the community of their valued contribution in the tourism industry. To kick-off this awareness campaign, Minister of Economic Development, Mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath revealed a billboard and a bus that illustrates the campaign message, ‘Tourism for All’.

During the preparation process, we’ve asked employees of 34 random organizations to be ‘the face’ of the ‘Tourism for All’ campaign. This design will be used on different billboards across the island; the first one was revealed and presented at Mohikanenweg just in front of the Goisco building. To ensure the awareness island wide, CTB wrapped a public bus with the same design. Both billboard and bus will carry the message of this year’s World Tourism Day; ‘Tourism for All’. This shows how important the participation of the entire community is in the local tourism industry.

Willemstad – September 9, 2016– Many still remember the Curaçao Culture, Cuisine & Heritage Experience (CCCHE). It was in 2005 that Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) together with the private sector launched the project of CCCHE as an event that brings the tourists closer to the community. The idea of mingling locals with visitors was well received. Each year the event is presented for a few months, the last one was held in 2009. This year, after 7 years CTB will give the event some new vibes and reintroduce this to the community and all visiting guests.

Curaçao Culture, Cuisine & Heritage Experience is part of the Tourism Master Plan; during 4 consecutive months CTB will organize the CCCHE every other week. The bi-weekly event will be supported by local businesses, folkloric, cultural and carnival groups who’ll make sure everyone enjoys the cultural festivities while indulging some local ‘krioyo’ dishes. The main idea of the Curaçao Culture, Cuisine & Heritage Experience is for our visiting guests to explore the diversity of the Curaçao history, our cultural heritage and the authenticity of local dishes. These are key ingredients of our tourism product.

Besides using this as a touristic event, CCCHE is the perfect platform for small businesses to introduce their products such as souvenirs, paintings and many other handcrafted arts made by local artists. The first edition in its new concept of the CCCHE will be this Sunday, September 11th at Brionplein, Otrobanda.

CTB and CHATA invite the community of Curaçao to also be present on the other dates of CCCHE: September 25^th, October 2^nd and 29^th, November 12^th and 27^th, December 4^th and 11^th. The first edition will be this Sunday, see you at Otrobanda!

Traffic from the neighbor country Venezuela showed a slowdown this year causing a negative impact on our overall performance. Venezuela, plagued by the ongoing economic challenges, is short by 28,894 visitors in the first eleven months, resulting in a 34% decrease on the year to date performance.

Curaçao welcomed in total 401,728 stayover visitors between January and November 2016, a decrease of 5% compared to the same period in last year.

Stayover visitor arrivals from North America have reached a total 69,808. A falloff in travelers from South America in particular from Venezuela, has caused a decrease 23% to reach a total of 97,853. From the Caribbean we welcomed 31,533 visitors. The European market, with 188,472 stayover visitors, continued its strong performance with a growth of 4% compared to the same period in 2015.

CTB and MEO utilizes the ‘Turistika Model’ to calculate the economic impact generated from the tourism industry. During the first eleven months of 2016 a direct impact of $ 454.9 million US dollars is generated for the local economy. 52.2% of the total direct impact is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 237.6 million US dollars. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 91.9, $ 94.2 and $ 31.2 million US dollars.

November Arrivals 2016
The strong marketing and sales promotion of the KLM Curaçao Marathon in the Netherlands from 2014 and beyond is showing positive results from Holland. In November, Curaçao welcomed a total of 13,249 stayover visitors from the Netherlands, an increase of 3% compared to the same period last year. The amount of stayover visitors from Germany registered an increase of 4% reaching a total of 2,371, a result of good air connectivity. In total we welcomed 17,712 European visitors, a 1% growth.

Festivals and special events have been and continue to be an important medium to boost the tourism industry. The promotion of the Summer Fall Festival and the sport event Curaçao Extreme Finals in collaboration with CTB is causing measurable effects. The Caribbean region registered an increase of 6%, reaching a total of 3,220 stayover visitors in November. Aruba with a total 1,569 stayover grew by 19%.

We registered a total of 5,702 stayover visitors from North America in November. The 11% decrease is the outcome of a soft month that didn't deliver the growth that we've anticipated. The Caribbean in general is pacing slower low seasons, as US visitors are pending and saving to see the winter turn-out to escape down South to warmer destinations. November month was an unpredictable and tense election month, forcing Americans to rather stay home, vote, rally, campaign and watch the developments, than to be disconnected in a foreign country. In November Curaçao welcomed 4,671 stayover visitors from the United States and 1,035 stayover visitors from Canada.

In November we welcomed a total of 6,728 stayover visitors from South America.

Although the outcome of the US election affected the dollar/peso exchange rate negatively, Colombia arrivals still performed well compared to last year. In November we registered an increase of 1% to a total of 1,193 stayover visitors from Colombia. Consistency in the marketing and PR efforts has led to positive outcomes for the past few months and the November month is no exception. Brazil registered a growth of 61% to a reach a total of 721 visitors in November.

Visitor Nights:
In November we registered an increase of average visitor nights per stay of 10%. On average visitors stayed 8.1 nights in November. Last year the average nights per person was recorded at 7.4 nights. In terms of visitor nights a decrease of 11% is recorded in November 2016. A total of 279,837 visitor nights were registered compared to 313,805 last year. This is a result of the reduced amount of visitors.

WILLEMSTAD- December 20, 2016 – Minister of Economic Development Mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath after taking note of the cancellation of the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival 2017, reached out to Curaçao Tourism Development Foundation (CTDF) to look into possible ways to guarantee the continuation of the event, this resulted in CTDF, Curaçao Airport Holding (CAH) and Curaçao Investment & Export Promotion Agency (CINEX) signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Fundashon Bon Intenshon (FBI) from 2018 for 5 years. The MoU entails the establishment of a task force with the purpose to lead the effort to secure structural funding from stakeholders and/or other third parties for the organization of major events amongst them CNSJF that will enable Curaçao to be positioned as the “Stage of the Caribbean” a powerful branding mechanism outlined in the Tourism Masterplan 2015-2020. Minister Rhuggenaath signed also on behalf of the Government of Curaçao. “It is important to keep this event for many years and bring in more of these kind of events to create the necessary economic activity for the Island of Curaçao” according to Minister Rhuggenaath.

The last survey done by the University of Central Florida in 2015 showed that the CNSJF had a direct and indirect economic impact of over US$ 15 million.

Also the study shows that the spending by international visitors of the CNSJF is over US$ 300 per day compared to just over US$ 100 per day by a regular tourist visiting the Island.

Also we can indicate that during the festival day’s arrivals at the airport are over 2000 passengers per day compared to around 1000 visitors on a regular day.

All these factors are important indicators that make it necessary to maintain the CNSJF as an iconic event for Curaçao.

Another great aspect of the CNSJF is the free concerts that create the unique platform for the international travelers to stay longer on the island and experience our local music, like the philharmonic orchestra performing songs of Doble Rand the tribute given to Macario Prudencia. In addition these concerts are another way for the visitors to mingle with the local community and experience our beautiful people hospitality.

CNSJF is a large and prestigious international musical festival being organized by FBI since the year 2010; artists from all over the world participate in the 3-day festival and people from different parts of the world attend this festival in Curaçao. Besides, CNSJF is a vital contributor to the tourism sector of Curaçao as well as to the economy of Curaçao as a whole. Reason why all the parties involved agreed that the CNSJF needs to continue for many years to come.

Di akuerdo ku Minister Rhuggenaath “Ta importante pa kontinuá ku e evento aki pa hopi aña mas i trese mas di e tipo di eventonan manera esaki pa krea aktividatnan ekonómiko pa nos pais Kòrsou.”

WILLEMSTAD – December 6, 2016 - The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) reports a preliminary growth of 3% during the first ten months of 2016, when leaving aside the negative impact from Venezuela on the year to date arrivals. Traffic from the neighbor country Venezuela showed a slowdown this year causing a negative impact on our overall performance. Venezuelan arrivals are short by 20,697 visitors in the first ten months, resulting in a 28% decrease on the year to date performance.

The total number of stayover arrivals from January through October 2016 reached a total of 367,339; this is a decrease of 3% compared to last year.

The visitor arrivals from Europe grew by 5% to reach a total of 170,732 stayover visitors in the first ten months of 2016. The European region represents 46.5% share of total visitors to Curaçao. The remaining regions; North America and Caribbean recorded a decrease of respectively 3% and 1% in the first ten months of 2016. In absolute numbers we counted respectively 64,100 and 28,288 stayover arrivals year to date.

CTB and MEO utilizes the ‘Turistika Model’ to calculate the economic impact generated from the tourism industry. During the first ten months of 2016 a direct impact of $ 416 million US dollars is generated for the local economy. 51.9% of the total direct impact is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 215.7 million US dollars. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 84.7, $ 87.4 and $ 28.2 million US dollars.

October 2016 Arrivals
The European region, reported an increase of 6% arrivals in October 2016, the increase represents 407 more visitors compared to last year. In absolute numbers a total of 18,187 visitors were counted in October 2016. The Netherlands, the main producing country, reported a growth of 3% to a total of 13,515 stayover visitors. From Germany a total growth of 12% is registered. The strong consecutive marketing efforts in both countries have showed positive performance over the last months.

The Caribbean region, with a total of 3,194 visitors, recorded a decrease of 7% in October 2016. The number of arrivals from Aruba and Trinidad and Tobago had a negative impact on the monthly results.

Curaçao welcomed 4,583 visitors from North America in October 2016. October is known as a slowdown season from North America. Canada registered 3% more visitors in October 2016 compared to October 2015. Visitors from The United States of America are down by 16% compared to October 2015. From the US we are seeing a growth in the New York region, as a result of our right now in Curaçao campaign. The overall decrease from USA is due to less seats capacity from the other feeder regions.

South America registered a decrease of 53% with a total of 6,964 compared to 14,693 last year. Venezuela with a total of 3,206 visitors registered a drop of 71% compared to last year.

In total 894 Brazilian visitors are welcomed in October 2016 compared to 644 last year.

Visitor Nights:
In October we registered an increase of average visitor nights per stay of 18%. On average visitors stayed 8.2 nights per person in October 2016. Last year the average nights per person was recorded at 6.9 nights. In terms of visitor nights a slight decrease of 2% is recorded in October 2016. A total of 279,603 visitor nights were registered compared to 286,537 last year. This is a result of the reduced amount of visitors.

For the remainder of 2016 prospects are positive. The forward bookings for our main markets of focus are very promising; we expect a big growth from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Colombia and the US for the upcoming quarter.

Some key concerns involved in revitalizing Willemstad were also discussed, including the need for more housing possibilities in the downtown area, economic development, tourism activities and upkeep of the world heritage site. At the conclusion of the 2-day workshop, the group had come to agree on concrete projects and plans to work on in the days to come. In the course of the coming weeks, these will be formalized into an action plan, which will be forwarded to all participants. The group agreed to reconvene in January of 2017, to discuss the progress achieved.

The idea behind this initiative is to help Curaçao tourism enablers and businesses to better understand these new business and tourism concepts, and the challenges and opportunities created by them. Experiential Travel and the Sharing Economy are both trending topics in the travel and tourism sector today. The rapid rise of companies such as Airbnb and Uber is constantly reported by tourism experts and international media.

During the Public Presentation participants got a better understanding of the how the Sharing Economy links to and encourages Experiential Travel, how to attract visitors with immersive local experiences, the main criteria a destination must meet to be successful in experiential travel, product development and marketing and examples of tourism businesses already responding to the opportunities in the Sharing Economy. Next to the Public Presentation an interactive three-day workshop was organized focused on the opportunities created for Curaçao tourism in the era of the sharing economy and more immersive local travel experiences. The result of the workshop is that five local attractions agreed to follow up on creating their authentic experience so as to showcase this to prospective visitors and create a memorable experiential product. CTB will support these five attractions.

Both sessions were led by Judy Karwacki of Small Planet Consulting. Judy Karwacki is a seasoned travel and tourism professional, with more than 30 years of experience ranging from retail travel to education, management and consulting. She has extensive experience in the Latin America-Caribbean region where she has worked with more than 20 destinations and for over 25 years.

WILLEMSTAD- November 14, 2016 –Sharing Economy has mostly been viewed as a threat to tourism businesses but more and more tourism businesses recognize it also opens up new opportunities for specific target groups (such as public sector, trade associations, tourism suppliers, and the like) and locally-flavored options for experiences, food, accommodations, venues and transportation. The objective of the ‘Experiential Tourism in an Era of the Sharing Economy’ initiative is to help Curaçao tourism enablers and businesses to better understand these new business and tourism concepts, and the challenges and opportunities created by them.

Lead by Judy Karwacki of Small Planet Consulting, a public meeting will be held to give participants the opportunity to learn about the Sharing Economy and Experiential Tourism, and to explore their potential for Curaçao as a destination and thus for local tourism businesses. You are cordially invited to attend the Public Presentation which is scheduled to take place this Thursday November 17 from 19:00 – 20:30 at the Hilton Curaçao. The key target audience for the Public Presentation are for example public sector representatives (people representing government organizations and departments that support the growth and marketing of the tourism industry), trade associations, non-governmental organizations and community partners interested in sharing their knowledge and expertise with visitors to add value to the Curaçao tourism experience.

The CTB has worked very closely with the Tourism sector including CHATA the past couple of months, and met on several occasions, which included a democratic dialogue, a world café session and the introduction of several workgroups such as Funding, Marketing and Beautification for the implementation of the Tourism Master Plan 2015 - 2020, with the main objective to include as many stakeholders into the planning and organization of our marketing activities. It is based on this input and the agreements made during these different sessions that we prepared a short- and long term strategy and plan of action. Therefore, it remains unclear how the CHATA board concludes that the “Crisis in the Tourism sector” is due to the lack of influence on the destination's marketing executed by the CTB. So it is with great disbelief that we took notice of the conclusion from the CHATA retreat as indicated in the press release issued today. CTB is aware of the challenges we are facing in the different markets, with the elections in the US and the political situation in Venezuela. The performance of the Tourism sector, however fragile at the moment, does not justify such distress and mistrust as the island's performance is better than many of our competitor islands. The CTB believes that in these challenging times we shouldn’t lose focus, rather unite forces and work together in order to improve the performance of the Tourism sector, thus creating jobs and improving the quality of life on the island. We should consistently maintain our course as was agreed in the various sessions organized during the year, the outlook is positive as long as we keep calm and continue executing our planned activities. The CTB welcomes all feedback and ideas and wants us to work together #Huntu.

This is no doubt a great promotion for Curaçao, considering the large number of people following the World Baseball Classic championship on television and social media. The CTB signed a commercial agreement with Major League Baseball for the Curaçao logo to appear on the shirts.

Also worth mentioning are a number of international press articles published on the team’s participation in the World Baseball Classic, including one extensive article in The New York Times, with special mention of the Curacaoan players and general information about the island. CTB’s best wishes go to the Kingdom of the Netherlands’ team, which includes several Curaçao-born players and is managed by Hensley Meulens. All the best for the coming games.

During the first month of 2017 we see an increase of 2.8% direct impact to the local economy.

A direct impact of $ 51.2 million US dollars is generated for the local economy. Last year January generated $ 49.8 million US dollars. 53.3% of the total direct impact is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 27.4 million US dollars. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 12.8, $ 8.5 and $ 2.5 million US dollars.

The total spending per visitor derives from the number of nights spent on island. Growth to the local economy is due to the fact that visitors from the European region stayed longer on island.

Curaçao welcomed in total 38,744 stayover visitors in January 2017, a decrease of 7% compared to the same month last year. Half of all stayover arrivals are from Europe. We welcomed in total 19,300 stayover visitors from Europe, where both target markets The Netherlands and Germany registered positive results.

Stayover visitor arrivals from North America decreased by 4%. In absolute numbers, we welcomed 8,406 North American visitors. The region holds 21.7% market share of all visitor arrivals to Curaçao and is the second largest region that contributes to visitor arrivals in January.

Although all South American markets report significant growth, the 50% fall off in tourists from Venezuela, has caused a decrease 22% for this region. In January we welcomed a total of 7,808 stayover visitors from South America.

From the Caribbean we welcomed 2,273 visitors, an increase of 2% compared to January 2016.

January Arrivals 2017
January is categorized as the peak month for visitors from the European market.

In January, Curaçao welcomed a total of 14,993 stayover visitors from the Netherlands, an increase of 1% compared to January 2016. Visitors from Holland stayed longer and travelled with larger families than previous year. The average night per visitor in January 2017 from The Netherlands was 12.2 nights per person. Last year January we saw that visitors from Holland stayed on average 11.3 nights. Another indicator is that we can conclude that Dutch visitors are travelling with larger families. There is a 21% increase of children between 0 and 14 year old, in total 837 visitors in the age bracket. Last year, we counted 689 in the same age bracket. While we see more children arriving we saw only a slight increase of 1% of those between 45 and 64 years old.

The amount of stayover visitors from Germany registered an increase of 11%, counting 1,831 visitors. In January 2016 we welcomed 1,656 German visitors.

CTB registered a total of 8,406 stayover visitors from North America in January 2017, ranking North America the second biggest contributor in terms of visitor arrivals this month.

The seasonality in the tourism industry is best shown by Canada. During the cold season, December to March, there is an increase in air connectivity with a weekly flight from Montreal and 4 weekly flights from the Toronto. January is the peak month for Canadian visitors. Curaçao welcomed a total of 3,270 stayover

visitors from Canada. From the United States of America 5,136 stayover visitors are registered. A slightly 2% decrease, which represent a loss of only 124 visitors.

In January we welcomed a total of 7,808 stayover visitors from South America. This is the first time CTB registered less visitor arrivals from the South American region compared to the North American region. This fall is due to the continuing drop in stayover arrivals from Venezuela, with 50% less stayover visitors compared to last year. In January we welcomed 3,240 stayover visitors from Venezuela.

Colombia arrivals performed very well compared to last year. We registered an increase of 53% to a total of 1,879 stayover visitors from Colombia. The growth from Colombia is the direct effect of charter flights from Colombia. Brazil registered a growth of 16% to a reach a total of 1,259 visitors in January. The continuous marketing effort in Brazil accompanied with better political and economic situation in Brazil is also resulting in positive performance.

The Caribbean region registered an increase of 2%, with a total of 2,273 stayover visitors in January. Aruba registered a decrease of 3% with a total of 1,027 arrivals. The increase in visitors is namely from Dominican Republic and Haiti, with respectively 10% and 45% growth.

WILLEMSTAD– February 1, 2017 – On the initiative of the Minister of Economic Development, Mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath, a luncheon presentation for representatives of government agencies, private enterprises and the tourism sector was organized by the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), titled: “How to Maximize Curaçao’s Exposure Through our Major League Baseball Ambassadors.” This initiative is in line with one of the recommendations of the2015-2020 Tourism Master Plan, which is to increase awareness of Curaçao abroad, and especially in the United States. The luncheon keynote speaker was Mr. Hensley Meulens. In his introduction, Minister Rhuggenaath stated the event’s objective of providing inspiration to those present while also offering a sense of direction on the use of Curaçaoan ballplayers as ambassadors for the island. Accompanying Mr. Meulens were other professional players: Didi Gregorius, Jonathan Schoop and Jurickson Profar.

The CTB had previously run several promotional campaigns with Curacaoan athletes who excel abroad, the most recent example being the contract between the CTB and Churandy Martina for the latter to act as an ambassador for his country. During his presentation, Mr. Hensley Meulens asked: Should we be using our major-league ballplayers to promote Curaçao? All in attendance agreed that the answer to that question had to be “Yes!” Mr. Meulens gave several examples of how international athletes carry out marketing based on their personal branding. With so many Curaçaoans excelling in major-league baseball, the time is right, now more than ever, for Curaçao to gain exposure through these ambassadors. The list of Curacaoan professional ballplayers includes: Andrelton Simmons with the Los Angeles Angels, Didi Gregorius with the New York Yankees, Kenley Jansen with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jurickson Profarwith the Texas Rangers, Jonathan Schoop with the Baltimore Orioles and Hensley Meulens with the San Francisco Giants. At the end of the luncheon presentation, Mr. Hugo Clarinda (CTB) explained that the next step will involve one-on-one meetings between the CTB and those in attendance in order to arrive at concrete ideas on how to leverage our professional ballplayers as key players in the country’s promotional plans.

Willemstad, January 17 2017- On Tuesday January 17^th, the Ministry of Economic Development together with its partners Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association (CHATA) and Curaçao Ports Authority (CPA) held a press conference to provide an overview of tourism performance in 2016 and an outlook for tourism in 2017. A noteworthy event which took place during the press conference is the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the government of Curaçao and Airbnb and the signing of the MoU between CHATA & CTDF.

Tourism Outlook 2017
CTB and its partners provide us with a bright outlook for the tourism industry in 2017. CTB expects an increase in visitor arrivals of 7.1%. In order to achieve this CTB has planned various activities throughout many of their target markets. One of such activities is the Right Now in Curaçao Campaign, which has been launched late last year. In addition to this CTB together with MEO and its’ tourism partners such as CHATA and other entities from the private sector will provide special attention to activities which will make the execution of the Tourism Master Plan possible. Activities which include the appointment of a new project manager, the restructuring of the master plan committees, and finalization of the funding for the execution of the Tourism Master Plan.

Hotel performance
CHATA reports that projected occupancy for the first quarter of 2017 is 76%. This is based on actual hotel reservations from CHATA members. CHATA aims to reach occupancy of 80% by the end of the first quarter of 2017. CHATA is optimistic and reports that based on the current occupancy rate Curaçao is right on track to reach this target.

Cruise tourism
Curaçao Ports Authority has 279 cruise calls scheduled for 2017 with a total lower berth capacity of 644,495 passengers; an increase of over 30%. The increase in cruise calls is due to a range of factors. Among others, the introduction of a volume-based discount with additional summer discounts is applied in order to stimulate low season capacity. The second Megapier, which will be operational in Q4 2017 will expand the capacity of the cruise facilities enabling higher passenger arrivals.

Tourism Economic Impact
Based on the projected increase of visitors to Curaçao and the projected increase in visitor nights by 1.7%, the Ministry of Economic Development expects that the tourism sector will have a positive impact on the economy. According to the Turistika Model, the direct economic impact of tourism in 2017 will be approximately 556 million US dollars. This represents an increase of 5.2% compared to 2016. The projected growth in tourism will also have a positive impact upon government revenues. In 2017 the total sales tax revenues from tourism related activities is expected to grow by 5.4%.

MoU AirBnB
Airbnb is a trusted online community marketplace that provides access to accommodations, in more than 34,000 cities and more than 191 countries around the world. Airbnb plays an important role in Curaçao’s tourism industry with over thousand listings across the island and with an average earning per host on the island of $4,400 USD annualy. Today, Curaçao’s Minister of Economic Development, mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath and the Minister of Finance, mr. Kenneth Gijsbertha on behalf of the Government of Curaçao signed an important agreement with Airbnb that will help to promote Curaçao as a world class tourist destination. This partnership will also create a framework that will allow the Government of Curaçao and Airbnb to address issues such as taxes, host accommodation standards and regulations share aggregate data and support Curaçao’s tourism marketing campaigns.

MoU between CHATA and CTDF
During the press conference CTDF and CHATA signed a MoU stating that they will work together on the development and promotion of our tourism product. In addition to this both parties have committed to the execution of the Tourism Master Plan.

Review 2016
In 2016 Curaçao has experienced a decrease in visitor arrivals and visitor nights. In 2016 5.6% less tourists visited Curaçao. This is partially attributed to the fall in visitors from Venezuela. The Minister of Economic Development, mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath believes that the figures of 2016 should serve as a wake up call for the community of Curaçao. It is impossible to achieve success and to be a competitive tourism destination if we do not work together. The Minister is therefore very pleased with the signing of both the MoU with Airbnb and the MoU between CTDF and CHATA. The Minister believes this is a step in the right direction to achieve the desired results in 2017.

WILLEMSTAD – May 4, 2017 – In April, Curaçao kicked off a creative and pioneering marketing campaign in the Brazilian market, at the launch of the newest Samsung models—the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Curaçao participated in the launch event of the Korean giant’s new smartphone models in São Paulo, with 700 in attendance at the Sala São Paulo, including artists, athletes and celebrities such as actresses Taís Araújo, Sophia Abraão and Mel Fronckowiak, volley players Bruninho and Sergio Escadinha, and TV presenters Pedro Andrade and Titi Muller.

As part of the campaign, all 700 in attendance at the launch were entered into a draw to win a trip to Curaçao, while the Curaçao brand also received exposure on the Samsung Pay product stand throughout the event.

Muryad de Bruin, Curaçao Tourist Board’s marketing manager for South America, was in Brazil for the campaign launch and commented on the strategies being used by that destination in the Brazilian market. “Brazil is a key country in our promotion efforts, and being able to deploy this high-impact campaign together with a brand like Samsung, with such high value and recognition worldwide, will help us to elevate the perception Brazilian travelers have of our island and highlight all that we have to offer to vacationers”.

The joint campaign with Samsung also enjoyed the support of Copa Airlines—They provided the executive class tickets for the draw winner, who will soon be visiting Curaçao and discover the island’s charm and attractions.

The Curaçao-Samsung partnership will continue throughout the month of May, with an even stronger promotional campaign being ran throughout Brazil, guaranteeing even more exposure for Curaçao as a tourist destination.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has added a new category to its 2017 Sustainable Tourism Awards. The Agro-Tourism Award was developed to reflect the CTO Year of Adventure and as part of the partnership between the CTO and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), where collaborative efforts have been ongoingto advance the integration of agriculture and tourism.

“When a tourist goes on a farm or community tour, or eats our signature foods prepared by local chefs, everyone benefits. Land remains in agriculture, farm incomes increase, business and employment opportunities are created, the environment is preserved, and the nation’s health and food security status are improved,” notes Ena Harvey, IICA representative in Barbados. “This is what sustainable livelihoods are all about, and can be achieved in great measure through agro-tourism linkages,” she added.

The Agro-Tourism Award is open to any group, organization, tourism business or attraction that offers an agro-tourism product, which incorporates the elements of food production, culinary output and visitor experiences. Applicants should demonstrate how they have successfully achieved sustainable linkages between agriculture and the tourism industry, which promotes the sharing and preservation of local agriculture and culinary heritage.

“Agro-tourism in the Caribbean is an important and growing niche, which in turn supports expansion in agriculture, promotes our rich culinary heritage, and contributes to generating sustainable livelihoods for local host communities,” said Amanda Charles, the CTO’s sustainable tourism specialist. “In the context of the long-standing partnership with IICA, the CTO is pleased to add the agro-tourism category to its 2017 Sustainable Tourism Awards, and commends IICA for sponsoring this initiative.”

Applicants for the CTO Sustainable Tourism Awards may apply in the following categories:

• Excellence in Sustainable Tourism Award
• Destination Stewardship Award
• Sustainable Accommodation Award
• Community Benefit Award
• Heritage Protection Award
• Biodiversity Conservation Award
• Agro-Tourism Award in honor of the CTO Year of Adventure

The closing date for receipt of applications is May 31, 2017. For more information, including entry guidelines visit http://www.onecaribbean.org/caribbean-sustainable-tourism-awards

CTO’s Sustainable Tourism Awards program has been in existence for 13 years and recognizes unique and innovative tourism products that embrace sustainable tourism concepts and core values, and help to enhance tourism product offerings. A panel of regional and international tourism and sustainable development specialists will select the winning projects. Among the prizes, winning applicants will receive an all-expense paid trip to attend the Awards Presentation Ceremony and receive their formal plaque of recognition, at an upcoming CTO event being hosted by St. Kitts and Nevis in September 2017.

The protocol was signed by the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Public Health, Environment and Nature, the Ministry for Social Development, Labor and Wellbeing, the Ministry of Traffic, Transportation and Spatial Planning and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB). The project involves forming a committee consisting of representatives of the aforementioned ministries and the CTB, to work together in executing several tasks in connection with the improvement and maintenance of eight beaches, namely: Caracasbaai, Daaibooi, Sta. Cruz, Jeremi, Kenepa Chikí, Playa Fòrti, Playa Lagun and Kenepa Grandi.

As part of the project-formulation activities, efforts were aimed first of all at assessing the existent situation, which led to a list of the areas in need of improvement. These are: hygiene, social control, reduction of crime at the eight beaches, safety and security of both local and foreign visitors to the beaches, better toilet, shower and parking facilities, modifying the infrastructure with the elderly and others with special needs in mind, job creation for the local population, and more entertainment on the beaches. A very important part in the execution of the project is the social aspect; training will be provided to locals to work on these beaches. The project will create new job openings and also entrepreneurial opportunities.

The implementation of this project should lead to a total transformation of the experience offered at these beaches, which will no doubt have a positive impact on the island’s tourism product as a whole.

WILLEMSTAD –June 22^nd, 2017 - At the start of the tourism low season, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting a growth in visitor arrivals from the United States of America. In total 5,164 US visitors are registered in May, recording double digit growth of 16% compared to last year. The US market is currently the second producing market for Curaçao’s tourism industry. The tourism performance from the US market stumbled in the first months of 2017 and is finally showing favorable outcome. In the first place, The Netherlands recorded an 8% growth in May 2017. 12,073 Dutch visitors were counted this year in May. The fact that the top two producing countries achieved positive numbers in the start of the low season is satisfied. May, as we know, is traditionally one of the low season months and is generally characterized by a slowdown in visitor arrivals.

Out of the region North America, we see an increase of 14% more visitors in May 2017. In total 5,813 North American visitors is registered. North Americans represent 20% of all the visitors in May this year. The European region recorded an increase of 5% in May, counting a total of 14,914 Europeans to Curaçao. The market share in arrivals from Europe is currently 51%. In other words half of our visitors are Europeans.

In total we see year-on-year performance falling by 6%. Precisely, in total 1,783 fewer visitors were registered this month, bringing the total count to 29,198 visitors against 30,981 in the same month last year. The fall in arrivals is due to the fact that third producing country, Venezuela, is still affecting our overall arrivals performance. A decrease of 44% is registered from Venezuela in May 2017. The secondary markets in South America; Brazil and Colombia recorded respectively -38% and 2% in May 2017. Remarkable is the performance out of Ecuador, this growth does not represent much in absolute numbers; nonetheless CTB’s effort to educate tour operators in Ecuador about Curaçao is showing positive results.

May also noted favorable insights for the visitor nights. The trend that visitors are staying longer on island continues as we see that on average they stayed 8.6 nights in May. Last year the average nights per person was recorded at 7.8 nights. In terms of total visitor nights an increase of 3% is recorded in May 2017. A total of 250,808 visitor nights were registered compared to 242,532 last year.

The ratio between visitor nights and stayover arrivals shows that despite the fact we registered less stayover arrivals, the visitor nights are showing a less negative outcome in terms of the direct economic impact from the tourism industry.

Year to Date: Economic Impact, Visitor Arrivals and Visitor Nights
Data generated from the ‘Turistika Model’ shows that a direct impact of $ 218.0 million US dollars is generated for the local economy in the first five months of 2017. Last year, the direct impact generated the same amount of money for the local economy. At least half of the economic impact (53%) is generated from European visitors. European visitors are responsible for $ 115.7 million US dollars. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 53.7, $ 36.1 and $ 12.5 million US dollars.

The total spending per visitor derives from the number of nights spent on island. Equal economic impact means in this case that visitors from the top two producing regions, Europe and North America, are staying longer and thus are spending more money while on island. We might see an overall negative outcome in visitor arrivals; nonetheless the economic impact is not affected by the loss from overall arrivals.

In total 173,469 stayover visitors were welcomed in Curaçao in the first five months of 2017. Last year we counted 196,005 stayover visitors over the same period, a decrease of 11%. Despite the negative stayover arrivals performance during the first five months, we see an in increase in the average nights spent on island. The preliminary statistics show an overall average of 8.8 nights per visitor in the first five months of 2017 compared to 7.9 nights in 2016. An increase of 11% is registered during the first five months of 2017. In total visitors spent 1,531,727 nights in Curaçao. 63.1% of the visitors nights spent are from European visitors, representing 967,198 nights from the region. In total an increase of 6% visitor nights is registered from European visitors. From North America, the visitor nights increased by 3%. A total of 261,983 nights are registered in the first five months from this region.

The workshop was held at the Golden Tulip “De Heerlickheijd” hotel in Ermelo, the Netherlands. A total of 250 independent travel agents and 50 partners participated at the workshop.

The workshop was designed as a “speed-dating” session. Each destination was stationed at an information table, getting across as much information as possible to the travel agents who, during 18 rounds of 20 minutes each, would take turns to sit at each table. The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) was accompanied at this session by the Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino.

The purpose of the social-media campaign was to showcase Curaçao’s multiplicity by gathering as many experiences of Dutch visitors as possible. “Curaçao Boomerang” is part of the CTB’s main campaign, #RightNowInCuracao.

As part of the campaign, cards were handed out at a number of cafés, bars and restaurants in the Netherlands, with the text: “Vertel me alles, dushi” (“Tell me everything, Sweetie”). The campaign was also promoted on Curaçao’s Facebook page and among the 25,000 consumers who have subscribed to receive the CTB’s monthly bulletin with Curaçao tourism news and special campaigns. The Dutch public was invited to share their experiences by posting short stories on CTB’s website at: curacao.com/boomerang. The 10 best stories were announced on curacao.com/boomerang on June 7. The author of the story receiving the most “likes” will become the happy winner. The results will be published on June 15.

Dutch visitors love Curaçao! Many return to the Netherlands with beautiful memories and tell their friends and acquaintances that our “dushi” island stole their hearts forever. And that’s exactly the kind of effect the CTB was hoping to generate with this campaign. Each time a visitor shares a unique and personal Curaçao experience with others, it makes people curious, making them want to visit the island too, and get to know our history, culture and “dushi” people for themselves.

144,271 stayover visitors were welcomed in Curaçao in the first four months of 2017. Last year we counted 165,025 stayover visitors over the same period, a decrease of 13%. Despite the negative stayover arrivals performance during the first four months, we see an in increase in the average nights spent on island.

April Visitor Arrivals & Visitor Nights 2017
In April, Curaçao welcomed a total of 13,512 stayover visitors from the Netherlands, a decrease of 4% compared to April 2016. Visitors from Holland stayed longer than previous year.

The amount of stayover visitors from Germany registered an increase of 23%, counting 2,454 visitors. In April 2016 we welcomed 1,994 German visitors. The double digit increase from Germany is the effect of this year’s Easter vacation dates. Last year this Holiday was in March and thus we see a shift in arrivals to April. The average night per person from Germany also increased in April by 21%. Last year we registered on average 8.6 nights per person, while this year we see an average stay of 10.4 nights per person.

CTB registered a total of 6,390 stayover visitors from North America in April 2017.

The loss of 213 visitors from USA is a 4% decrease.

In April we welcomed less South Americans, a total of 6,403 stayover visitors are registered. This fall is due to the continuing drop in stayover arrivals from Venezuela, with 58% less stayover visitors compared to last year. In April we welcomed 2,554 stayover visitors from Venezuela. Stayover arrivals from Brazil decreased

by 6%, a difference of 42 less Brazilians are counted this year. April 2017 recorded 667 Brazilian visitors. We registered an increase of 93% to a total of 1,519 stayover visitors from Colombia. The continuous marketing effort in Colombia combined with charter flights from Bogota resulted in a positive performance.

April registered an increase in average visitor nights per stay of 9%. On average visitors stayed 8.6 nights in April. Last year the average nights per person was recorded at 7.9 nights. In terms of total visitor nights an increase of 2% is recorded in April 2017. A total of 302,547 visitor nights were registered compared to 295,859 last year.

The ratio between visitor nights and stayover arrivals shows that despite the fact we registered less stayover arrivals, the visitor nights are showing a less negative outcome in terms of the direct economic impact from the tourism industry.

Taking place in Miami’s pop-up entrepreneurial hub, The Wynwood Yard, Curaçao culture infused the night, with everything from samples of Blue Curaçao to a guest appearance by our very own Dushi Hende.

All guests checking in to the event had a chance to fill out a Curaçao-branded “Passport” which required them to interact with all the fun activities happening that evening for a chance to win a trip to the island. A live stream in the Wyn-Box(an on-site apartment-esque building) allowed guests to interact directly with people at an on-island party hosted by Creative-Lab-Curaçao. A freeze-motion photo booth allowed guests to capture the evening and take home a #StayDushi printout. Hilton Curaçao, Papagayo Curaçao and Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort were on site to help spread fun facts about Curaçao, and give out trips to the island. ‘Bon Nochi’ is part of a series of events and promotional initiatives to increase consumer awareness and ultimately drive North American arrivals.

WILLEMSTAD – May 17, 2017–Curaçao was once again in the spotlight in Brazil, with the launch of an exposition of gigantic pictures of the island at Manaus airport. A total of 70 shots of the island, taken by professional photographer Celio Said, are carpeting the floor of the check-in area at the airport in Manaus.

The 190-meters long and approximately 3-meters wide exposition spread out in the check-in area offers striking impressions of some of Curaçao’s most breathtaking sceneries. The ultimate objective of this unique and novel move, seen for the first time at any Brazilian airport, is to arouse the curiosity of travelers and motivate them to go visit the island. The shots show off Curaçao’s multiplicity, with its beaches, downtown area and various tourist attractions. In conjunction, a magazine is being handed out at the check-in area during the airport’s peak-traffic hours, with information on the island’s tourism product, and on its cover Ms. Chanelle De Lau, Miss Curaçao 2016.

The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is excited about the reactions to this exposition in the Brazilian market, and the coverage it has received in local Manaus newspapers as well as on television. Also, the eyewear brand JoliJoli has launched a new collection of glasses by the name “Curaçao,” which they will be promoting in the coming months, in a campaign that will also be featuring images of the island. JoliJoli representatives were present at the launch of the photo exposition to showcase their Curaçao collection. Various additional activities are planned, aiming to arouse the interest of Brazilian travelers in Curaçao as a destination.

Precisely, in total 760 fewer visitors were registered in June 2017, bringing the total count to 27,957 visitors against 28,717 in the same month last year. The fall in arrivals is due to the fact that arrivals from Venezuela are still affecting our overall arrivals performance. A total decrease of 46% is registered in June. Last year we counted 3,939 Venezuelans, while this year a total of 2,113 are welcomed in Curaçao.

The European region recorded an increase of 7% in June, counting a total of 12,937 Europeans to Curaçao. The market share in arrivals from Europe is currently 46%.

Uber is an international concept to which private drivers affiliate themselves to offer transportation services to or from specific locations. Reservations are made online and payments are made by credit card. The report about the agreement between the CTB and Uber for these services to be provided on the island of Curaçao is false.

The CTB cannot enter into any agreement regarding transportation, as this goes beyond the Board’s authority. Furthermore, in view of current legislation on Curaçao, the CTB is not of the opinion that a concept such as Uber’s would be feasible locally.

The CTB has also taken note of the misuse of the CTB’s marketing logo in the report posted on social media advertising Uber’s services on Curaçao, possibly giving the impression that the CTB is somehow affiliated to this service. The logo in question is a registered trademark and the CTB hereby advises that its unauthorized use constitutes trademark infringement.

The agreement uses a number of principles as a basis for cooperation in the areas agreed. The signing of this important agreement took place in a pleasant atmosphere, with members of the board and personnel of both organizations in attendance. Ms. Altagracia Bryson, Chair of the Kas di Kultura Kòrsou Foundation’s Board, Ms. Emly Francisca, Director of the Kas di Kultura Kòrsou Foundation and Mr. Hugo Clarinda, Interim Director of the CTB addressed the audience at the signing.

Curaçao’s cultural heritage is an important element of its tourism product and serves as a differentiating factor, while tourism, on the other hand, contributes to the preservation of the island’s cultural heritage. Both the Tourism Master Plan and the Cultural Management Plan recognize culture’s key role in the development of Curaçao’s tourism product. The two entities recognize that tourism promotion for the island abroad should also focus on its cultural heritage. The island’s culture reflected in its tourism product works as a competitive advantage. It is therefore extremely important to continue investing in creating awareness, and firmly rooting this cultural awareness in the community.

Visitors nowadays are more and more interested in concepts such as experiential travel, tourism based on experiences, which focusses on creating authentic experiences by connecting the visitor to special sites, people and/or cultural elements of the destination. Cultural neighborhood projects that integrate tourists into the activities, known as Community Based Tourism, are another concept in which tourism and culture overlap. It is imperative for all those who work in the area of either tourism or culture, as well as for the community at large, to be good ambassadors of tourism, of culture and of Curaçao in general. “Only by working together will we be able to take our country’s development to the next level,” was the message conveyed.

The areas of cooperation identified by the CTB and the Kas di Kultura Kòrsou Foundation include organizing joint workshops, identifying sites, events and other items of cultural interest, providing culture and tourism training to employees, tourism workers and artists, giving presentations at tourism and cultural events, having both cultural and tourism elements included in courses and workshops organized by either entity, and mutual cooperation in connection with Culture Week and Tourism Week.

WILLEMSTAD- July 13, 2017 - Since 2015, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) has been in charge of supervising the Marie Pampoen Recreational Area project, involving the development of the whole Marie Pampoen beach area between the pier and the sports field, making it more attractive to locals and tourists alike.

On the CTB’s initiative, students of Kolegio Chaya Willems were invited to decorate eight metal containers, guided by two local artists: Ariadne Faries and Morgaine Paris. The project’s main objective was to provide garbage containers for the west side of the Marie Pampoen recreational area, while at the same time involving the community in the development of the area and promoting art awareness and expressive creativity, especially among the neighborhood’s youth. The colorful disposal containers are already in service and can be admired around the west area of the Marie Pampoen recreational area. All materials, including the containers, as well as refreshments for the kids, were provided by the CTB, which manages the funds provided by the government for the area’s development.

The community of Curaçao’s cooperation is counted on to keep the Marie Pampoen recreational area clean and enjoyable for the community itself as well as for the island’s visitors.

WILLEMSTAD – July 11, 2017 – The personnel of the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) recently visited four tourist attractions that are applying the Experiential Travel concept, which is catching on in many parts of the world. Experiential Travelinvolves tourist activities focussing on creating authentic experiences by connecting the visitor to special sites, people and cultural elements of the destination. The aim of the visit was to experience the different attractions and give feedback on the product being offered as part of the Experiential Travelconcept. The attractions visited, Kas di Pal’i Maishi, Williwood, Dinah Veeris Herb Garden - Den Paradera and Landhuis Chobolobo, are currently transitioning from selling simple tours to offering experiences.

Creating an experience is at the core of the Experiential Travel concept. It involves offering the visitor the opportunity to learn and do things, and to interact with locals. The “learning” aspect revolves around understanding who the locals are and how they live. The “doing” aspect focusses on allowing the visitor to be a hands-on participant rather than a passive observer. The last key aspect of this concept offers the visitor the opportunity to engage with locals interested in sharing their culture, their way of life and especially their skills.

In November last year, the CTB invited an expert on the subject, Ms. Judy Karwacki, to come to the island. Ms. Karwacki gave a presentation and a workshop to the private sector on Experiential Travel and visited some local attractions in order to share new ideas that may help them in further developing the concept locally. The CTB personnel, split into two groups, had the opportunity of visiting these four attractions in order to experience first-hand how the Experiential Travelconcept is being applied, and be able to offer constructive feedback. It was a boost for them to see that these attractions are well on the way to offering not only tours, but rather total experiences. The CTB will continue its efforts to promote the Experiential Travelconcept, with a view to the concept being integrated by the local tourism community even more into the product offered to the island’s visitors.

The Curaçao commercials are running on the 1,624 square feet “1500 Broadway Spectacular” and on the gigantic “ABC Supersign”, a 3,685-square foot electronic icon in Times Square known to millions worldwide for its signature wavy LED ribbons, eye-catching curved ticker and daily exposure on ABC's 'Good Morning America'.

This was made possible due to a unique partnership between CTB and ABC Network. By establishing a promotional partnership with such television network, allows Curaçao to gain awareness across a wide spectrum of platforms while keeping a narrow target audience market.

Love it. That is the new awareness campaign launched by the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) on September 24 of this year. The campaign’s objective is to make Curaçaoans more keenly aware of what a privilege it is to live in Curaçao and be part of the Curaçao community. The campaign targets the community as a whole and aims to make people on the island feel more proud of their culture, nature and history. This inspiring campaign—Curaçao is “Dushi.” Live it. Love it—was launched by the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina.

Those who live on the island sometimes fail to see how much Curaçao has to offer, also to them as locals. How many actually visit local tourist attractions and get acquainted with what their country has to offer or know how many different beaches can be found on the island? This campaign hopes to bring back to mind or make locals aware of all that the country has to offer. The focus will be on knowing, caring for and paying attention to yourself, your neighborhood and your country—dushi Curaçao.

The different elements of the campaign will illustrate the Curaçaoan people’s authenticity through one sample family. The campaign includes a number of messages aimed at inspiring the community to become better people and to love their country, such as by loving each other and showing it, inspiring future leaders, loving the local neighborhood, safeguarding the island’s cultural heritage and showing respect for its flag. As part of the campaign, recognition plaques are handed out to some who have excelled in their respective area. At the campaign launch, these included Ms. Filomena ‘Elia’ Isenia and Dr. Dino Daal. Ms. Isenia has been educating the community on the value of its cultural heritage for 40 years, while Dr. Daal has been working at the CTB for 26 years. On April 6, 2017, Dr. Daal defended his thesis entitled: “Impact of Tourism on the Quality of Life of Residents,” thus graduating as Doctor in Business Administration.

July Visitor Arrivals, Visitor Nights & Economic Impact 2017

The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) reports a total direct impact of 41.9 million US dollars in July 2017.

Data generated from the ‘Turistika Model’ shows that European visitors are responsible for $ 24.8 million US dollars. The North and South American region both generated $7.3 million US dollars. From the Caribbean and other region we generated 2.5 million US dollars.

The July performance is down by 19%. The summer month did not perform well this year compared to last year. 6,958 fewer tourists found their way to vacation in Curaçao. The total count for July 2017 came to 29,773 stayover visitors. Last year we welcomed 36,731 stayover visitors in July. The fall in arrivals is due to the fact that arrivals from Venezuela are still affecting our overall arrivals performance. A total decrease of 57% is registered in July. Last year we counted 4,639 Venezuelans while this year a total of 2,016 are welcomed in Curaçao. In addition, we also know that in summer time locals are more likely to travel abroad. Figures received from the Airport Holding shows us that load factors from all regions are higher in July 2017 compared to July 2016. Meaning when more locals travel in a specific period they fill up the available seats, resulting in less stay over visitors to find vacant seats on our current routes.

The European region recorded a decrease of 8% in July, counting a total of 16,075 Europeans to Curaçao. The market share in arrivals from Europe is currently 54%. The Netherlands recorded a decrease of 6% growth in July 2017. 13,204 Dutch visitors were counted this year in July, which is good for the summer month. From Germany we recorded 14% decrease in July 2017. A total of 965 German visitors are welcomed in July 2017.

Out of the region North America, we see a decrease of 8% visitors in July 2017. In total 5,207 North American visitors is registered. North Americans represent 18% of all the visitors in July this year.

4,611 US visitors are registered in July, recording 10% decrease compared to last year. The US market is currently the second producing market for Curaçao’s tourism industry. Canada grew by 7% in July 2017. Curaçao welcomed 596 Canadian visitors in July.

Venezuela’s tourism performance is still holding the overall region down. In total 36% less visitors is registered from South America. Colombia showed positive arrival figures in July. In total 1,515 Colombians are welcomed. Last year we recorded 1,397 Colombians, a total increase of 8%. From Brazil and Suriname we recorded respectively 27% and 29% decrease in July 2017.

The trend that visitors are staying longer on island continues as we see that on average they stayed 10.3 nights in July. Last year the average nights per person was recorded at 9.0 nights. In terms of total visitor nights we recorded a total of 304,725 visitor nights in July 2017. Last year we registered 331,471 visitor nights.

WILLEMSTAD – October 24^th, 2017

September Visitor Arrivals & Visitor Nights 2017
The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting growth in visitor arrivals from key focus markets. Stayover visitors from The Netherlands, United States of America, Canada and Brazil performed well in September 2017. The overall September performance is down by 6% despite the positive performance of key focus markets. Precisely, in total 2,068 fewer visitors were registered in September 2017, bringing the total count to 31,094 visitors against 33,162 in the same month last year. The fall in arrivals is due to the fact that arrivals from Venezuela are still affecting our overall arrivals performance. A total decrease of 47% is registered in September. Last year we counted 4,516 Venezuelans, while this year a total of 2,403 are welcomed in Curaçao.

The European region recorded an increase of 8% in September, counting a total of 16,842 Europeans to Curaçao. Last year we welcomed 15,647 European visitors. The market share in arrivals from Europe is currently 54%. The Netherlands recorded a 9% growth in September 2017. An additional 1,052 Dutch visitors were counted this year in September. From Germany we recorded 7% decrease in September 2017. A total of 1,849 German visitors were welcomed in September 2017.

Out of the region North America, we saw an increase of 5% visitors in September 2017. In total 4,656 North American visitors are registered. North Americans represent 15% of all the visitors in September this year. 3,997 US visitors are registered in September, recording 5% growth compared to last year. This growth was achieved despite the many cancelations of air service over 5 days due to Hurricane Irma.

Canada also grew by 8% in September 2017. Curaçao welcomed 659 Canadian visitors in September.

We welcomed less South Americans, a total of 6,420 stayover visitors are registered. This fall is due to the continuing drop in stayover arrivals from Venezuela, with 47% less stayover visitors compared to last year. In September we welcomed 2,403 stayover visitors from Venezuela. Arrivals from Brazil performed well compared to last year. We registered an increase of 2% to a total of 1,031 stayover visitors from Brazil. As a result of Avianca pilots being on strike during the last days of September, a 24% decrease in stayover arrivals is registered from Colombia.

Even though September registered less stayover arrivals, we registered a slight increase of 1% in visitor nights. A total of 272,579 visitor nights were registered compared to 268,817 last year. Both the European and North American region recorded positive visitor nights. From Europe an additional 8% is recorded, where from the Netherlands 9% growth is registered. In total visitors from Holland spent 142,194 nights in Curaçao. Visitors from North America spent 30,504 nights in Curaçao, a 11% growth. From the US we see growth of 12%. A total of 24,823 nights is spent from the US visitors.

Year to Date: January through September 2017
A direct impact of $ 372.5 million US dollars is generated for the local economy from January through September 2017. A total direct impact of 53.9% is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 200.9 million US dollars. Last year Europeans were responsible for $ 193.7 million US dollars, a 4% increase. From North America an increase of 4% is calculated in terms of direct economic impact. North Americans are responsible for $ 82.3 million US dollars in the first nine months of 2017, last year they contributed with $ 78.9 million US dollars. The South American and other regions generated respectively $ 66.9 and $ 22.4 million US dollars this year. In 2016 the South American and other regions generated respectively $ 80.2 and $ 24.8 million US dollars. The total spending per visitor derives from the number of nights spent on island. Both European and North American visitors are staying longer on island; this reflects back in their contribution to the local economy.

293,159 stayover visitors were welcomed in Curaçao in the first nine months of 2017. Last year we counted 333,019 stayover visitors over the same period, a decrease of 12%. Despite the double digit negative stayover arrivals performance during the first nine months, we see a slightly decrease of 2% in visitor nights spent on island. In total visitors spent 2,638,667 nights in Curaçao.

63.8% of the visitors nights spent are from European visitors, representing 1,683,153 nights from the region from January through September 2017. In total an increase of 4% visitor nights is registered from European visitors. From North America, the visitor nights also increased by 4%. A total of 402,517 nights are registered in the first nine months.

The research was conducted both in 2016 and 2017, while in 2017 the results were compared to the previous year. Results of the Study were presented by Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) at the 4^th World Research Summit and the International Conference on Events at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida in December 2017.

There is no doubt the Curaçao Carnival is a unique event with acute potential to positively impact Curaçao. The Carnival impacts the island in two fronts. First, stakeholders must support and adopt business practices that continue to increase the value of the Curaçao carnival event. During carnival season the image of Curaçao is at its highest point by bringing to life an environment full of entertainment and cultural experiences. In 2017, at least 2,335 tourists have travelled to Curaçao for the Carnival event. Second, the 2017 Carnival season in Curaçao unveiled an unexpected externality and showed the vulnerability of these types of events. The air connectivity limitations during Carnival, due to reduction of flights from main regional carrier hampered growth and performance for the Curaçao Carnival event of 2017.

The profile of the tourists in 2017 is very similar to those of 2016 and reveals an affluent and educated persona residing mainly in the Netherlands and secondly in the surrounding region. Overall, the tourists attending the Carnival were satisfied with their experience and are willing to come back and/or recommend. Furthermore, the perception of Curaçao’s Carnival was broken down into four dimensions; the cultural, escapism, esthetic and entertainment aspect. The dimensions are derived from earlier studies on the subject. The main finding of this study indicate that the cultural as well as the entertainment aspect as a relevant component of the Curaçao Carnival experience, has gained in prominence, while the escapism and esthetic aspect generated less attention.

The tourists interviewed with the main purpose to visit the Curaçao Carnival stayed on average 10.87 days and spent on average US$172 per person per day or US$ 1,865 per trip. This spending is higher than the typical tourists patronizing the destination (US$132 pppd). The total direct economic contribution of Carnival to the economy was US$4.35 million.

The Carnival in Curaçao represents the best of the destination; the socialization opportunities with the people of Curaçao continue to spawn energies for the destination in the future.

The potential of carnival as an engine of growth for the tourism sector is promising. Stakeholder must recognize that carnival is a way to spur economic opportunities because those attending the Carnival are more likely to drive loyalty and spending to the island.

E investigashon a tuma lugá dos aña siguí, na 2016 i 2017. Despues a kompará resultado di 2017 ku esundi e aña anterior.

Sin duda, Karnaval di Kòrsou ta un evento úniko, ku gran potensial pa generá un impakto positivo pa Kòrsou. Karnaval ta impaktá nos pais na dos manera. Na promé lugá, stakeholders tinku sostené i adoptá práktika di negoshi ku lo permití balor di e evento Karnaval sigui krese na Kòrsou. Den temporada di Karnaval, imágen di Kòrsou ta na su punto di mas haltu. E ta krea un ambiente yen di entretenimentu i eksperensia kultural. Na 2017, por lo ménos 2.335 turista a bin Kòrsou pa e evento Karnaval. Na di dos lugá, e temporada di Karnaval 2017 na Kòrsou a saka na kla un interdependensia inesperá, i a revelá tambe kon vulnerabel e tipo di eventonan akí ta. E konekshon aéreo limitá ku tabatin den temporada di Karnaval debí na redukshon di e kantidat di vuelo dor di e transportadó aéreo di mas importante a stroba kresementu i nivel di resultado di Karnaval 2017 na Kòrsou.

Perfil di e turistanan di 2017 ta mashá similar na esun di 2016. Ta trata akí di un públiko ku entrada i nivel di edukashon haltu, bibá prinsipalmente na Hulanda i, na di dos lugá, den nos region. Generalmente, e turistanan ku a bini pa Karnaval a keda satisfecho ku e eksperensia i ta dispuesto di bini bèk i/òf rekomendá e evento na otro hende. Ademas, pa loke ta trata kon e turistanan ta eksperensiá Karnaval a midi esaki riba 4 dimenshon, esta e aspekto kultural, esun di hui for di rutina i realidatnan di bida (‘escapism’), artístiko (‘esthetic’) i entretenimentu. E dimenshon utilisá pa e análisis ta derivá for di estudionan hasi den pasado riba e tema aki. Konklushon prinsipal di e estudio ta indiká ku tantu e dimenshon di kultura i entretenimentu komo komponente relevante di e eksperensia di Karnaval di Kòrsou a akapará mas prominensia, miéntras ku e dos otronan, esta hui for di rutina i realidatnan di bida (‘escapism’) i e aspekto artístiko (‘esthetic’) a generá ménos atenshon.

E turistanan entrevistá, ku a bini Kòrsou prinsipalmente pa Karnaval, a keda un averahe di 10.87 dia i a gasta, komo promedio, 172 dòler pa persona pa dia, òf 1.865 dòler durante henter e biahe. E sifra akí ta mas haltu ku loke e turista típiko ku ta bishitá Kòrsou ta gasta (132 dòler pa persona pa dia). E kontribushon ekonómiko total di Karnaval na ekonomia tabata 4.35 mion dòler.

Karnaval di Kòrsou ta representá e mihó di e destinashon akí; e oportunidatnan ku e bishitante tin pa kompartí ku pueblo di Kòrsou ta lanta su deseo pa bini bèk un dia.

Karnaval su potensial komo motor pa kresementu den sektor di turismo ta grandi. Stakeholders mester rekonosé ku Karnaval ta un manera pa promové oportunidatnan ekonómiko, pasobra e bishitantenan ku presensiá e evento Karnaval tin mas chèns di generá lealtat i ingreso pa Kòrsou.

The winners receive prizes such as a Seabob experience, a guided tour at Landhuis Chobolobo, a sunset boat trip on the Pelican Express, a trip to Klein Curaçao with BlueFinn Charters and much more. The grand prize is an 8-day trip for two, with accommodations at the Livingstone Jan Thiel Resort.

A theater next to the Curaçao stand offers a daily 1-hour presentation, providing the fair visitors with all reasons to choose Curaçao. In the presentation, young actor Anton de Bies shares his bucket list of activities to do when he returns home to the island, while the private-sector partners too share all they have to offer. And this year again, the Curaçao stand is well equipped with all kinds of information about the “dushi” island. On the first day of the fair, January 9, the CTB organized a special cocktail at which their most valuable partners were recognized.

A special thanks to the private-sector partners who are part of this year’s Curaçao Team: CHATA, Papagayo Curaçao, Livingstone Jan Thiel Resort, ‘t Klooster Boutique Hotel, Quint’s Travelers Inn, Acoya Curaçao Resorts, Villas & Spa, Kontiki Beach Resort, Oasis Coral Estate, Dolphin Suites Curaçao, Scuba Lodge & Ocean Suits, Dolphin Academy Curaçao, Hilton Curaçao, Sunscape Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino, Hato Caves and BlueFinn Charters Curaçao.

WILLEMSTAD –March 18^th, 2018

January Visitor Arrivals, Economic Impact& Visitor Nights 2018
The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting growth in visitor arrivals for the month January. The positive outcome in visitor arrivals is the good performance from key focus markets. Stayover visitors from The Netherlands, United States of America, Canada, Colombia, Brazil and Aruba performed well in January 2018. The overall January performance grew by 2%. Precisely 763 additional visitors were counted in January 2018, bringing the total count to 39,510 visitors against 38,747 in the same month last year.

An additional 1,979 Dutch visitors were counted this year in January. The positive outcome out of the Dutch market is the additional flights from Amsterdam in January. From Germany we recorded 33% decrease, a total of 1,219 German visitors were welcomed in January 2018. The decrease in stayover arrivals from Germany is a direct effect of no air connectivity between Curaçao and Dusseldorf.

North Americans represent 22% of all the visitors in January this year. A total of 5,812 US visitors were welcomed in January, recording double digit growth of 13% compared to last year.

Canada stayed flat recording 0% in January 2018. Curaçao welcomed 3,274 Canadian visitors in January.

The border closure between Venezuela and the ABC islands as of January 5^th 2018 takes with it that only 903 Venezuelans traveled to Curaçao. A year ago the same month counted 3,240 Venezuelans. The two other focus markets out of South America performed well. We registered an increase of 2% to a total of 1,284stayover visitors from Brazil. Out of Colombia we registered double digit growth of 22% Colombians in January. In total 2,292 Colombians are registered.

CTB and MEO utilizes the ‘Turistika Model’ to calculate the economic impact generated from the tourism industry. During the first month of 2018we see a 7% growth in the economic impact compared to January 2017.

A direct impact of $ 54.8 million US dollars is generated for the local economy in January 2018. 52.7% of the total direct impact is generated from European visitors who are responsible for $ 28.9 million US dollars. The North American, South American and other regions generated respectively $ 15.1, $ 8.3 and $ 2.5 million US dollars.

WILLEMSTAD – April 19, 2018 – From April 17 to 19, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) presented a program consisting of two workshops and one public presentation on the topic of Experiential Travel. The program was entitled: “Experiential Travel: Connecting Visitors to the Real Curaçao Experience,” and was conducted by Ms. Judy Karwacki, an international tourism expert with over 30 years’ experience in travel, education and management.

Ms. Karwacki visited Curaçao for the first time in November of 2016, to coach a number of managers of local attractions and tourism businesses on how to grow their business by elevating the visitor’s experience. This year, Ms. Karwacki will assess 10 tourism businesses with the potential to sell an unforgettable experience to visitors. Two workshops aimed at this group, with a number of presentations and interactive sessions, were held at Landhuis Bloemhof on April 17 and 18. The participants also learned how to make an itinerary that is completely aimed at letting tourists experience the product offered, so as to create a memorable experience.

The public presentation was held at the Hilton Curaçao on April 19. Its main objective was to create awareness among public and private-sector partners and tourism service providers of the Experiential Travel trend and its benefits. Seeing that Curaçao has much to offer tourists, it is essential to bring these assets into play in order to continue promoting the island as a destination. Ms. Karwacki elaborated on a number of topics, such as new developments in the area of tourist activities, what kind of tours to offer visitors, the sharing economy (such as Airbnb), the “Transformational Travel” concept and much more.

The CTB looks back at three extremely educational days during which all who took part in the workshop and the presentation left with new tools that they can start using in order to, together, take Curaçao’s tourism product even further.

A total of 18,556 stayover visitors are recorded.

CTB registered a total of 9,260 stayover visitors from North America in February 2018, ranking North America the second biggest contributor in visitor arrivals. Curaçao welcomed a total of 3,119 stayover visitors from Canada, recording a 4% decrease. This 4% represents 121 less visitors in February 2018.

Last year we recorded 5,401 stayover arrivals from USA.

In February we welcomed less South Americans, a total of 4,014 stayover visitors are registered. This fall is due to the continuing drop in stayover arrivals from Venezuela, with 84% less stayover visitors compared to last year. The border closure as of January 5^th 2018 is hurting the overall stayover arrivals of February. Only 426 Venezuelans found their way to Curaçao, where last year 2,742 was registered.

Colombia performed very well compared to last year. We registered an increase of 78% to a total of 1,185 stayover visitors from Colombia. Brazil also performed well recording 5% growth in February 2018. In total 1,087 Brazilians were welcomed in February.

A big percentage of visitors from Colombia, are from these two cities. Currently over 48% of our Colombian visitors are from Bogotá, while 22% are from Medellín.

CTB’s target is to continue to focus its marketing efforts on these two cities to attract more Colombian tourists to Curaçao. In close partnership with the private sector, CTB is executing a series of effective promotional activities in Medellín and Bogotá through advertising such as; newspaper, billboards, TV, radio, cinema complexes, online, social media, and more. In addition to these promotional activities, it is important to stimulate and educate our trade partners; Travel Agents, Tour-Operators and Airlines for Curaçao to remain top of mind at all times.

CTB’s most recent Curaçao promotional Roadshow (Caravana Promocional) included an event for 85 Travel Agents and 35 Wholesalers at ‘Hotel Viaggio’ of Medellín. The delegation members, consisting of CTB and partners from the private sector, also provided a half-day sales training session at the main reservation center of Avianca. The delegation then travelled to Bogotá, to have an interactive breakfast session with 24 press members which was followed by ‘negotiation sessions’ with over 60 wholesalers at the Bioxury Hotel over a Curaçao themed, colorful luncheon. This event resulted in a handful of publicity in the press about the islands’ ambitious plans and goals.

Two other Travel Agent events in Bogotá at the popular ‘El Céntrico’ and ‘Club Colombia’ were well visited with over 350 Travel Agents for the Curaçao night. At these events, each table of Travel Agents received a chance to present one of Curaçao’ unique selling points in 15 minutes. Travel Agents went above and beyond in creativity, music, acting, dressing up and colors for their chance to win their prize to Curaçao.

CTB is pleased with the outcome of the Curaçao Roadshow in Medellín and Bogotá and thanks all partners involved being, Acoya Curaçao Resort Villas & Spa, Avila Beach Hotel, Hilton Curaçao, Kura Hulanda Village & Lodge, Lions Dive and Beach Resort, Livingstone Jan Thiel Resort, Papagayo Beach Resort, Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino, Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, Sunscape Curaçao Resort Spa & Casino.

The Netherlands continues to be the leading country where 45% of our share from stayover arrivals is originating.

The increase in stayover arrivals is the result of marketing efforts in combination with charter services. Traffic from Brazil recorded growth of 78% in July 2018.

The direct economic impact from the remainder regions is as following: North America $ 58.8 million, South America $ 30.4 million and Caribbean/other regions $ 23.6 million.

April Visitor Arrivals 2018
Curaçao welcomed a total of 15,029 stayover visitors from the Netherlands in April 2018. An increase of 11% compared to April 2017. The Netherlands continues to be the leading country where 47% of our share from stayover arrivals is originating. The second main country in Europe is Germany. From Germany a 59% decrease is recorded. Last year most of the German visitors traveled during the Passover holiday to Curaçao, where this year we saw an increase in March. Not having direct service from Dusseldorf also impacts the German visitor to travel to Curaçao. Overall a total of 18,185 stayover visitors arrived from Europe. The share of visitors from this region continues to be the leading region with 56%.

CTB registered a total of 7,080 stayover visitors from North America in April 2018, ranking North America the second biggest contributor in visitor arrivals. Arrivals from Canada grew by 15% in April, bringing the total to 2,077 stayover visitors from Canada. From the United States of America an increase of 9% is registered in April 2018. In total 5,003 stayover visitors are registered. Last year we recorded 4,593 stayover arrivals from USA.

From Brazil we see growth recording 7% more visitors compared to last year. In total 715 Brazilian visitors travelled to Curaçao in April. Traffic from Suriname recorded 31% growth to a total of 808 stayover visitors from Suriname. The total stayover arrivals from South America dropped to 43%, bringing the total stayover arrivals from South America to 3,632 visitors.

In particular the total decrease of the region is the direct effect of 80% less Venezuelan visitors. Colombian visitors decreased in April recording 44% less visitors. The Colombian market is highly influenced by the Passover holiday where we saw double digit growth last month. The shift of the holiday weekend this year caused the difference in stayover arrivals from Colombia.

From our neighbor island Aruba a growth of 8% is registered. A total of 1,168 Aruban visitors travelled to Curaçao in April where the peak in arrivals is visible days before King’s Day festivities.

The overall stayover visitors decreased in April with 8% (721 visitors) to 32,310 compared to the same month in 2017. If the Venezuelan visitors are not included in the total arrivals the decrease would have been 2%. The decrease in stayover arrivals is also due to the fact that the Passover holiday fell in March this year, while last year this was in April.

WILLEMSTAD – September 27, 2018 – This month, the Curaçao Tourist Board will roll out its new global branding campaign, “Feel It For Yourself,” which highlights the destination’s rich history, authenticity and unique range of sights and activities that leave visitors free to explore the island on their own terms. Drawing inspiration from the island’s vibrant aesthetic, the new elements are intended to differentiate Curaçao from the rest of the region and make a splash in the market.

With its authentic spirit, European-inspired architecture, and cove-like beaches, Curaçao appeals to an array of travelers, from the adventurer to the beach bum to the history buff. “Curaçao. Feel It For Yourself,” a signature tagline almost two years in the making, embodies this ideal and encourages travelers of all backgrounds, races and sexualities, to tailor their Curaçao experience as they desire.

With a view toward developing a specific, targeted global branding campaign, the Curaçao Tourist Board and its New York-based advertising firm, Catch New York, executed time-intensive market research, including focus groups, expert interviews and first-hand qualitative surveys with consumers across the world. Leaving no region untouched, the team traveled to Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Brazil and Colombia, meeting with airline specialists, tour operators, country managers, hotel reps and everyday people. Having analyzed and plotted the responses on a perceptual map of Caribbean travel themes, the idea of “feeling free” remained consistent across all markets.

At its core, Curaçao is a fusion of 55 different nationalities and locals who typically speak four languages. Everyone is welcome, which has put the tiny island on the map as one of the most accepting destinations in the Caribbean, especially among LGBT travelers.

Taking the theme of feeling free – free of all worries, free of judgment – “Feel It For Yourself” was born. As there is simply no right way to experience Curaçao, every traveler can make the island their own while embracing its authentic, unforgettable spirit.

Seeking to differentiate its ads from the blue-dominated “sea of sameness” consumers have grown accustomed to seeing from Caribbean destinations, the tourist board is launching an array of vibrant displays even more colorful than its iconic buildings in downtown Willemstad. One of the ads includes the tagline ‘Feel It For Yourself’and another one ‘Feel It In Your Soul’.

“The time is finally here to unveil Curaçao’s new branding campaign, which perfectly exemplifies Curaçao’s lively, authentic personality,” says Hugo Clarinda, Deputy Director of the Curaçao Tourist Board. “Not only do the visuals speak to Curaçao’s energy, but the catchphrase hopefully conveys that Curaçao is a nation for all.”

The new global branding campaign will be introduced in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, the Caribbean, Canada, and in the United States, specifically New York, Miami and Charlotte, or markets with direct airlift.

It takes a leader to see the difference.’ And the Minister is sure CTB and CHATA are showing that leadership by working together implementing the Tourism Master Plan. Besides Product and Air Lift development, Marketing is a key part of the master plan and together with all stakeholders a new branding for the destination was developed. This thorough development process took the perspective of the visitors to Curaçao as starting point.

Miles Mercera, CEO of the hospitality branch organization CHATA hopes the conference can conclude in making tourism the number one priority for Curaçao. 'We have to move fast, the answer the call of tourism.' Mercera summed big challenges like the current big unemployment and the low profitability of our tourism sector Curaçao has to address as a whole, to make tourism a driving force of the economy.

Greg Klassen from Canada was one of the international speakers at the conference. In his key note address, “Canada’s Path to Tourism Competitiveness” he explained how Canada understood the client of today wants to have an experience of exploring and used this in their branding in a very successful way.

Julie-Anne Burrowes addressed in her key note “New Generation Cruising” the importance of sustainable cruise options. Passengers are demanding this and we have to provide this. Curaçao has a big potential in cruise tourism, but important actions are needed.

The need to maintain Curaçaos authenticity was mentioned in several of the concurrent sessions. Be it to create an unforgivable experience for MICE visitors, in preserving our physical environment.

The whole sector see the need of an all including Tourism Law and is prepared to participate. But the Government expects some self-regulation too.

The organizers of the National Tourism Conference, Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO), the Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association (CHATA), Curaçao Ports Authority (CPA) and Bureau Telecommunicatie & Post (BT&P) hopes all stakeholders leave the conference inspired to pull together to realize Curaçaos' full tourism potential.

WILLEMSTAD – September 18, 2018 – Germany remains an important market for Curaçao. Despite the loss of the Air Berlin flights in 2017, visitors continue coming to spend their vacations on the island, booking connecting flights through the Netherlands. With the start of the non-stop Condor flights from Frankfurt coming November, this winter season is looking quite promising for Curaçao. The weekly Wednesday flights will continue throughout the 2018-2019 winter season. In line with this, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), together with Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), organized a roadshow in Germany, informing German travel agents on all that Curaçao has to offer, as well as on flight possibilities to the island. Hotel-industry partners were also on site to get travel agents acquainted with their respective hotels.

In total, 100 travel agents were provided with up-to-date information on Curaçao that will help them in selling the destination in the upcoming season. Each day started out with a presentation, followed by an interactive Dushi Sup Yoga session and a Caribbean breakfast. At the end of each day, the partners were able to share information on their accommodations, activities and packages in a speed-dating session.

The Travel Agent Reward Program of CAP and CHATA was also introduced to the travel agents. The reward program will be launched this month in the German market.

The Color Run, also known as the “Happiest 5K on the planet”, is a unique paint race celebrating individuality, healthiness and happiness. The Color Run is the largest running series in the world. In total, over 6 million people worldwide have at some point participated in one of these races organized in over 35 different countries. As was done in Fort Lauderdale last May, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), one of the sponsors of the New York 5K Color Run 2018, once again grabbed the opportunity to promote the island, showcasing it as the world’s most colorful destination. During the Run, the CTB provided participants with information on Curaçao, with special attention to the non-stop flights to the island from JFK International Airport offered by JetBlue.

About 75% of the New York Color Run’ participants are millennials, with ages varying between 18 and 35, which fall within CTB’s target group. The race started inside Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, going around the stadium and baseball field, after which the participants were guided to four color zones, including the Blue Zone, which was sponsored by Curaçao. The Curaçao logo was featured prominently, and the experience was topped off with delightful music of our local artists.

The CTB also invited New York-based travel, lifestyle and trade journalists to run the 5K along with a representative of the island. The media representatives who participated contribute to both national and regional publications including New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, Sherman’s Travel, Hip Latina and The Cook’s Cook.

At the Finish Festival, which is the Color Run’s official after party, the Curaçao booth was accented by an expansive backdrop showing our Handelskade. The space included an island-inspired bar where participants could stop to pick up Curaçao-branded sunglasses and take pictures. CTB and Hilton Curaçao also teamed up to provide a trip for two to Curaçao, courtesy of JetBlue Vacations, and a 4-night stay at the Hilton Curaçao. To enter to win a trip, runners were asked to take a gif-style photo and share their photo on social media. Gianina Atalita of the CTB and Lynette Dmuchowski representing the Hilton Curaçao in New York joined the DJ on stage to announce the two winners to the over 5700 fans in attendance. The CTB can certainly look back at another successful initiative that has further promoted the island of Curaçao.

WILLEMSTAD – October 9, 2018 –The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), together with its private-sector partners, recently completed a successful road show in the Netherlands. Curaçao is the most popular Caribbean destination among Dutch travelers, and that is why the CTB organized the road show in this country, to give its hotel-industry partners in Curaçao the opportunity to get travel agents acquainted with all that the island has to offer as a tourist destination.

The team spent three days providing travel agents with up-to-date information on our destination. The first day of the road show was held at the TUI Call Center in Enschede and the Corendon Call Center in Haarlem, with 60 travel agents in attendance. On the next day, a session was held with 30 agents in Breda. On the last day, the team met with 25 travel agents in Hoofddorp and 40 others at the Curaçao House in the Hague. The three days of information sharing were each divided into two parts: Before noon, a number of seminars provided hotel representatives with up-to-date information on the Dutch market, and specifically in connection with business, trends, marketing and public relations. Each afternoon session started with a presentation on Curaçao and a dialogue in which the CTB’s team elaborated on the most memorable Curaçao experiences. The hotels and travel agents in attendance each shared information about the island from their own unique perspective. Next, the travel agents participated in an interactive session named “Dushi SUP Yoga,” followed by a speed-dating session in which each partner had the chance to provide information on its accommodations, activities and packages. At the conclusion, all travel agents received a goody bag with educational materials, as well as a limited edition Curaçao branded gift.

At the event held on the last day of the roadshow at the Curaçao House in the presence of Minister Plenipotentiary Mr. Anthony Begina and his team, CTB gave a number of airlines, trade and media partners a token of appreciation for their work and dedication in promoting Curaçao as a destination. The evening was highlighted by local dishes presented by Curaçaoan Chef Justin Niessen, a participant in the Master Chef Holland competition and owner of his own restaurant in the Netherlands. Those in attendance also enjoyed a musical performance by Juni Juliet with, as guest star, Lou Prince.

The CTB wishes to thank Papagayo Beach Resort, Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort Curaçao, Hilton Curaçao, Acoya Curaçao Resort Villas and Spa, Sunscape Curaçao Resort Spa & Casino, Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino, Lions Dive and Beach Resort, Avila Beach Hotel, Morena Resort, Amalia Boutique Hotel, Kura Hulanda Village & Spaand Oasis Parcs Coral Estate for their participation, as we look back at a successful road show in the Netherlands.

Airbnb ta demokratisá turismo na Kòrsou hasiendo esaki mas pagabel i aksesibel i tambe e ta pone e biaheronan di rònt mundu den kontakto direkto ku e komunidatnan lokal, i asina permití e bishitantenan pasa nan tempu riba e isla ‘komo si fuera nan ta hende lokal’.

E anfitrionnan di Airbnb na Kòrsou a risibí aproksimadamente 23.300 huéspet na 2018, ku un estadia promedio di aproksimadamente 8 dia; basta mas largu ku e estadia promedio na e otro partinan di Karibe.

This year, over 104,000 visited the fair, making it the perfect platform to once again promote the island as the number one Caribbean tourist destination. Next year in 2020, the Vakantiebeurs will be celebrating its 50^th edition.

Surveys show that 64 percent of visitors to the Vakantiebeurs go hoping to gather as much information as possible to get ready for their next vacation, while 63 percent are curious to discover new destinations. This offers a unique opportunity to showcase Curaçao as the number one Caribbean destination. Each year, the CTB organizes a different event especially to attract larger numbers of visitors to the Curaçao stand. This year, fair visitors could snap a picture at the CTB stand, against one of the backgrounds that are part of Curaçao’s new branding campaign: “Feel it For Yourself.” Some chose to pose dancing in a carnival group, while others opted for a backdrop that would show them standing on the Emma Bridge, at one of Curaçao’s beaches or an underwater scene. Each received their picture to take home right away after registering their e-mail address. The photo booth proved quite popular, attracting about 800 additional visitors to the Curaçao stand. On the first day of the fair, the CTB also organized a cocktail event for its partners, to celebrate the start of the new year.

The CTB wishes to thank all private-sector partners that joined in as part of the Curaçao team: Papagayo Curaçao, Livingstone Jan Thiel Resort, Acoya Curaçao Resorts Villas & Spa, Kontiki Beach Resort Curaçao, Oasis Coral Estate Beach Dive & Wellness Resort, Dolphin Suites, Scuba Lodge & Ocean Suites, Dolphin Academy Curaçao, Hilton Curaçao, BlueFinn Charters Curaçao, Curaçao Activities and Pietermaai Boutique Hotel.

GTM is an event connecting the top travel and tourism-industry consultants with global travel providers. It serves as a platform allowing participants to hone their product, gain know-how and strengthen existing ties to providers, while also gaining new connections.

This year, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) participated for the first time in the event, joined by its private-sector partner the Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino. The delegation had 52 one-on-one encounters of 6 minutes each with travel agents interested in learning more about the destination. During these “one-on-ones,” the travel agents were given updated information on the destination, the island’s attractions and interesting vacation packages for the upcoming season. The CTB sees the GTM as an attractive platform for promoting Curaçao, making it possible to connect with travel agents who are on the lookout for more exclusive destinations.

It was encouraging to see that many travel agents approaching the Curaçao delegation already knew about our destination and had previously been approached by its customers for a reservation. The Curaçao Tourist Board continues to look for new sales platforms and channels through which to position the island, and we can confidently say that the island had a successful presence at the GTM—one that is also already bearing fruit.

WILLEMSTAD – August 22, 2019 – Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), Curaçao Airport Holding (CAH) and Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association (CHATA) are pleased to announce that Curaçao will welcome a weekly United Airlines flight out of Newark, New Jersey beginning on Saturday, December 7. This new flight marks the return of United’s service to the island after almost a decade, a move to accommodate increasing US demand and allow more North American visitors better access to the sought-after destination.

The new, non-stop flight will depart every Saturday from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) at 8:33 a.m. and arrive at Hato International Airport (CUR) at 2:30 p.m. The return flight will depart CUR at 3:30 p.m., landing at EWR at 7:35 p.m. United Airlines officials announced that starting today travelers can book their ticket to Curaçao by visiting www.united.com. Rates start at $317 round-trip.

“The Northeast has always been a strong market for Curaçao, and while we’ve enjoyed non-stop airlift out of JFK for a few years now, this new flight provides a second Saturday option and also an additional connection for travelers routing through Newark on their way to and from Curaçao,” said Paul Pennicook, CEO of the Curaçao Tourist Board. “Curaçao has experienced double-digit growth for several consecutive months now, and with the onset of two large-scale hotel projects with strong US appeal, demand from the northeast continues to grow.”

The new United Airlines flight rounds out Curaçao’s North American airlift available this winter on American Airlines, JetBlue, Air Canada and WestJet. American Airlines will fly non-stop from Miami to Curaçao twice per day and weekly out of Charlotte on Saturdays, while JetBlue will fly non-stop from New York’s John F. Kennedy on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Air Canada will operate four times per week from Toronto and two times per week from Montreal. Additionally, WestJet will continue to operate once per week from Toronto.

“Last week there was a lot of news and discussions about loss of airlift to Curaçao and the likely impact of such development on the economy. With tourism being a main pillar of economy and airlift being an integral component of tourism, it is understandable that there would be concerns if in fact there was a massive loss of air seats to the destination” said CTB CEO Paul Pennicook. He continued by saying that after visiting and speaking with the airlines directly he can now give a full update on the ailift scenario.

In 2018 September and October the gross number of seats coming in was 33,477 for the following airlines; American Airlines, JetBlue and Avianca. After the schedule adjustments and cancellations there will be 20,380 for September and October 2019. In addition to that there will be another 4,672 seats (Wingo and Caribbean Airlines) this September/October that were not available in September/October 2018. Therefore, the net loss of seats is 8,425. The primary reason that the adjustments in airline schedules are all related to September/October, a period known as Fall in the North American market, is that historically this period has always been regarded as the off-season in both North and South America. The problem is compounded by the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX,this year.

With regard to the lack of demand for the destination Mr. Pennicook outlined the arrivals performance for 2018 and 2019 so far, demonstrating postive growth in both years. In 2018, Curaçao welcomed a total of 431,667 stayover visitors, resulting in a 8% increasecompared to 2017. We had an additional 32,654 stayover visitors. The strong demand for the destination have continued in 2019 showing double-digit growth (16%) from January till June. We produced 237,750 stayover visitors so far.

The top six countries of focus are:

1.Netherlands (+11%)

2.United States (+13%)

3.Canada (+10%)

4.Colombia (+58%)

5.Germany (+26%)

6.Brazil (+21%)

All six of these markets are showing double digit growth. Singling out the US market Mr. Pennicook said that there was 20% increase in arrivals in 2018 which made us reach 73,000 stayover arrivals, a new record. In 2019 so far there is a further 13% increase in US arrivals.

The main driver of demand in a leisure destination like Curaçao, is new rooms coming on stream, Mr. Pennicook said. He went on to explain that the performance in 2018 and 2019 so far was all achieved without a single new room. The good news is, we have new rooms coming on stream later this year that will not only help us to maintain growth momentum but should actually result in increase demand.

Winter 2019:

Marriott Curaçao	336 rooms
Dreams Curaçao Resort	200 rooms
Former “Howard Johnson”	80 rooms

First quarter 2020:

Corendon Beach Resort

400 rooms

In addition to the new rooms coming on stream there is also development in the category of new airlift and discusssions are continuing with multple airlines regarding new airlift.

Airlift already confirmed for winter 2019-2020:

Air Canada	Increase from 3 to 4 weekly flights from Toronto
Air Canada	Up gauge of the Montreal flight from A319 to B737-800
Condor	Direct flights from Frankfurt coming only to Curaçao (not shared)
KLM	Additional 4 weekly direct flights to Curaçao (not shared)

With new rooms coming on stream and anticipated additional airlift the CTB is confident that there will be continued growth in tourism in Curaçao.

The survey will run for about three weeks. The “Curaçao is Dushi—Live it, Love it” awareness campaign was launched by the CTB in September of 2017 to raise awareness among the Curaçao population of how privileged they are to be living in Curaçao and be part of this community. The campaign, aimed at the community as a whole, inspires a sense of pride in the local culture, nature and history. The CTB will present the research findings November of this year.

In 2006 and 2014, the CTB carried out two separate surveys looking at local awareness, attitude and perception with regard to tourism development on Curaçao. In the 2006 survey, for instance, a relatively large section of the local population (68%) reported believing tourism to be very important for the Curaçao economy, while 63 percent reported that tourism is beneficial to the local community. The 2014 survey served to evaluate the then-running “Dushi Hende” (“Lovely People”) awareness campaign, which the CTB had been conducting over a period of two years. More than 70 percent (71.9%) of respondents reported knowing about the awareness campaign, while 63.6 percent reported being of the opinion that the campaign had positively contributed to the local community’s tourism-related behavior.

This time around, the CTB, together with the Inter-Continental University of the Caribbean (ICUC), is launching a new survey focusing on the newest awareness campaign: “Curaçao is Dushi—Live it, Love it”. This survey will provide the CTB with valuable information on the campaign, as well as on the local community’s perception and awareness of tourism development in Curaçao. The survey will be held among approximately 400 of the island’s residents distributed representatively across a number of neighborhoods. Interviewers working on this survey will all be carrying CTB credentials, their personal ID card and will be wearing a white T-shirt.

All respondents will participate in a raffle for four prizes sponsored by Eric’s ATV Adventures, Pelican Boat Trips, The Aloe Vera Plantation and Dinah Veeris’ Den Paradera Herb Garden. Confident in their support, the CTB wishes to thank the community of Curaçao in advance for their cooperation with this important survey. For more information, please contact the CTB office at 434-8200.

As of October 1^st, 2019 it is required to fill in the Digital Immigration Card. Passengers visiting the island can now go online to www.dicardcuracao.com to fill out the Digital Immigration Card prior to their trip. This contributes to a seamless travel experience while promoting a green approach by reducing the use of paper.

To stimulate a successful transition, CTB has been in close contact with its local and international partners to assist in informing all visitors about the digitalization of the card.

Following are some quick facts about the Digital Immigration Card:

• Any person traveling to Curaçao by air, who is not registered at the island’s Civil Registry, is required by the local government to have this form filled out prior to entry at airport immigration.
• Persons born in Curaçao, who are not registered at the Civil Registry of Curaçao, are required to fill out the Digital Immigration Card.
• The Digital Immigration Card is required per person per trip, regardless of age.
• Passengers are requested to fill out the form online via their mobile devices or personal computer prior to arrival as soon as they have all travel details.
• Once a passenger has filled out the Digital Immigration Card, they can edit or update the card as needed by selecting the option “Edit your submitted immigration card”.
• The information submitted on the Digital Immigration Card will be processed in compliance with Curaçao law (Article 25 of the Ordinance for data protection).
• For additional information regarding the Digital Immigration Card or technical support passengers are requested to contact dicardsupport@curacao.com

CTB informs that the traditional cards are still available upon arrival and on certain carriers; however we encourage all travelers to fill in the Digital Immigration Card prior arrival to avoid unnecessary discomfort.

CTB will continue to actively promote the Digital Immigration Card through its own channels and will provide support and any assistance visitors may need during this transition process.

The CTB’s mission is to market Curaçao as a leisure and business destination thereby assuring sustainable benefits to the island. The CTB’s focus, in collaboration with local and international partners, is to work every day to broaden the island’s presence in all major markets as well as new and emerging ones.

A Look Back
Back in 1915, the Curaçao Association was founded with the objective of promoting the island abroad. Later, this responsibility was passed on to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. From 1945 to 1948, an appointed representative in New York would report to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry on developments abroad which had a bearing on tourism in Curaçao. After the Government of Curaçao relieved the Chamber of Commerce and Industry from its tourism-promotion duties, the Curaçao Tourism Commission (CTC) was founded. In 1955, the CTC was in turn replaced by the Curaçao Tourist Bureau, which opened offices in Caracas, Venezuela in 1982, and Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 1984. The Curaçao Tourism Development Foundation (CTDF) was founded in 1989, and as of 2003 continued under the name Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB). Currently, the CTB has offices not only in Curaçao, but also in the United States and the Netherlands, as well as representatives in Colombia, Brazil and Germany.

Future Plans
Curaçao’s many attractive attributes, including our beaches, rich culture and friendly people, allow us to offer a diverse and interesting product to our visitors. As the leader in tourism on Curaçao, the CTB will continue to have a forward-looking approach. Making good use of innovative ideas and analyzing each opportunity that arises, for the benefit of our “dushi” Curaçao. The CTB wishes to thank all its partners in the tourism industry and the community as a whole for their support throughout the years. Together we will continue working towards more sustainable growth for our country.

Our leading producing region Europe grew 11% for the month. Arrivals form the Caribbean region jumped 42% for the month of August.

Despite the decline in North and South America, the diversity of our tourism source markets still resulted in positive growth for the month of August. The significant increase from the Caribbean was directly related to the North Sea Jazz Festival and of course, twice-weekly service from Port of Spain with Caribbean Airlines. Trinidad & Tobago had a 237% increase in visitor arrivals in the month of August.

The overall visitor nights grew by 1% in August 2019. In total 326 thousand visitor nights are registered.

WILLEMSTAD – November 14, 2019 – Inspired by its own burgeoning street art scene, the Curacao Tourist Board (CTB) is making a splash in Miami with a larger-than-life mural in the heart of Wynwood. With the eclectic street art that has emerged over the last two years in the nation’s capital of Willemstad, the CTB and its North American PR agency, Diamond PR, enlisted the help of established creative and local Curaçaoan, Sander van Beusekom, to design and paint an original piece that will be displayed in Wynwood in anticipation of Art Basel 2019. The annual event typically draws a crowd of more than 40,000 attendees and prominent celebrities, in addition to the everyday foot traffic in the flourishing area.

The 40’ x 18’ mural serves as a play on the island’s global branding campaign. The vibrant colors – a kaleidoscope of tangerine, sunny yellow, sky blue, indigo and fuchsia – draw directly from CTB’s style aesthetic, while the graphics represent the best that Curaçao has to offer, from its friendly locals to its splashy marine life. The piece, entitled “Tickle Me Curaçao,” highlights a fun-loving and stylish Curaçaoan woman tickling the underbelly of a parrotfish, a rainbow-colored creature that dwells in the island’s 65+ dive sites. A closer look, however, reveals a background reminiscent of Curaçao’s iconic historical buildings and the Queen Juliana Bridge, the tallest bridge in the Caribbean. The blue hues of the backdrop and the woman’s star-shaped earnings are a further nod to the ABC Island and the national flag.

“Everyday I feel inspired by Curaçao’s residents, by its colors, and by the island’s natural beauty and have always felt compelled to showcase those aspects in my art,” said van Beusekom. “Having the opportunity to create a Curaçao mural and put the destination on a global stage is something I could have only dreamed about.”

In an effort to further promote the island in South Florida, one of the island’s top feeder markets, on Nov. 12, the Curaçao Tourist Board also hosted an on-site event at the mural for local media. They welcomed a group of top South Florida journalists who represent travel and lifestyle publications in the region and nationally to meet van Beusekom and Mr. Paul Pennicook, CEO CTB and have the opportunity to put some finishing touches on the wall. Following the interactive painting session, media attendees enjoyed authentic Caribbean bites and engaged in one-on-one conversations with destination reps to learn more about Curaçao’s exciting news and developments.

“We are always seeking creative ways to push the envelope with our marketing strategies,” said Pennicook. “Thanks to the nonstop airlift on American Airlines out of Miami International, South Florida has always been one of our top geographic markets. Marrying the island’s emerging art scene with one of Miami’s most prominent events seemed like a natural fit.”

Van Beusekom, perhaps best known for his father and son fishing mural behind the Curaçao Maritime Museum, began the Wynwood project in early November. “Tickle Me Curaçao” will be on display throughout Art Basel (Dec. 5-8) and remain visible to Miami’s visitors through the end of January. Art lovers interested in learning more about the destination can scan the QR code at the bottom of the mural for more information.

The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP) wish to congratulate the company on reaching this momentous milestone. KLM is the only airline in the world operating under the same name since inception in 1919. Back then, KLM founder, aviation pioneer and first CEO Albert Plesman had a dream: “The ocean of the air unites all people”, a network that connects all people.

Being in the top-3 privately-owned companies in the Netherlands, KLM has a huge impact on the Dutch economy. For us here in Curaçao the airline is a key partner, considering that Curaçao is the airlines’ largest Caribbean destination and the Netherlands is Curaçao’s single largest source market for visitors. Who hasn’t been left in awe of the sheer presence and magnitude of one of KLM’s jumbo jets touching down at our airport? According to CTB’s CEO, Mr. Paul Pennicook: “One-hundred years is a once in a lifetime milestone and KLM has been Curaçao’s biggest partner over all these years. The island is truly proud to be a KLM partner and wishes the airline and its personnel all the best with their centennial celebrations. Congratulations and let’s toast to another century of success.” In the words of CAP’s CEO Mr. Ralph Blanchard: “CAP salutes the amazing achievement of KLM in surviving and prospering for 100 years in the most demanding and competitive industry in global commerce. In addition to achieving individual airline success, KLM pioneered the creative foundation that stimulated mass consumer travel with the introduction of its “Tourist Class”, or what we now refer to as "Economy Class", concept and product that made global travel affordable to the average consumer. We wish them another 100 years of success, and encourage their competitive creativity”.

Celebrations and festivities have been organized worldwide, and Curaçao was no exception. Here, KLM’s centennial milestone was celebrated in a very pleasant atmosphere. The island’s Prime Minister Mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath and the Minister of Economic Development Ms. Giselle Mc William were also present at the special occasion, together with industry partners and special guests. KLM’s famous Queen of the Skies aircraft completed the celebration. The CTB and CAP are counting on many more years of daily flights between Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Willemstad, Curaçao. Pabien!

...10% increase in stayover arrivals year to date...
WILLEMSTAD – November 26, 2019

October Visitor Arrivals 2019

Our leading producing region Europe grew 5% for the month. Arrivals form the Caribbean region jumped 28% for the month of October. North America recorded a decline of 17%, while South America declined by 30% primarily because the Venezuelan border was closed and it was open at this time last year. The significant increase from Europe and the Caribbean region is directly related to the autumn break, increased service out of Amsterdam as well as the start of new service twice weekly from Port of Spain with Caribbean Airlines. Curaçao welcomed 15,708 visitors from The Netherlands thereby accounting for an increase of 5%. Visitors from Trinidad & Tobago doubled in October 2019.

The overall visitor nights fell 5% short in October 2019. In total 293 thousand visitor nights are registered. Out of Europe, tourists spent 202 thousand nights in Curaçao, a 1% increase in visitor nights. North and South American visitors spent respectively 32 and 36 thousand visitor nights in October. Visitors from the Caribbean region spent 20 thousand nights in Curaçao.

Hotel performance CHATA

Cruise Arrivals CPA
The October 2019 figures show that 21 vessels called at the Willemstad Port compared to 20 vessels in the same month in 2018, an increase of 5%. A total of 47,223 passengers arrived in the month in 2019, this was 2,426 passengers (4.9%) less than the same month in 2018 due to a slightly lower occupancy rate of the vessels. The month of October marks the start of the cruise high season, during which we expect a busy fourth quarter with a continued growth compared to 2018.

WILLEMSTAD – December 5, 2019 – Today, December 5, marks the 100^th year of Avianca. The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP) wish to warmly congratulate the airline for this memorable milestone. The Colombian air carrier is the second-oldest airline in the world, with an impressive history dating back to the very start of the 20^th century. La Sociedad Colombo Alemana de Transporte Aéreo (Scadta) was founded in 1919 in Barranquilla, Colombia and immediately revolutionized transportation among the cities of that country—something which had previously only been possible by weeks-long boat trips. The airline’s arrival drastically reduced these travel times to a matter of hours. Later, international flights to Venezuela and the United States were added.

In 1940, the brand name was changed to Aerovías Nacionales de Colombia S. A. (Avianca). Some years later, in 1946, the company started offering flights to Quito, Lima, Panamá, Miami, New York as well as some European cities, operating these with DC-4 and DC-5 aircraft, and eventually grew into an airline with an international presence in the main Latin-American markets.

Avianca in Curaçao—39 years without interruption

In September of 1980, Avianca added Curaçao to its network with a Boeing 720B flying under the name Aerocondor and these flights have continued consistently to the present without interruption. Over the years, Curaçao has been honored to receive a number of different Avianca aircraft, including the Boeing 757-200, the Boeing 767-283, as well as A318, A319, A320 and A330 aircraft. According to CTB’s CEO, Mr. Paul Pennicook: “The island has forged close ties to Avianca over the course of these almost 40 years. CTB is proud to consider Avianca a major partner and wishes to congratulate the airline for its 100^th year of existence!” In the words of CAP’s CEO Mr. Ralph Blanchard: “Avianca is a valued airline partner, and a critical air link between Curaçao and our markets to the south and we look forward to their continuing, and expanding, service to Curaçao.”

Both CTB and CAP look forward to the continuation of daily flights with Avianca for many more years and wish all the people of Avianca from the shareholders to management and the friendly staff, continued years of successful flying.

The successful businesswoman and influencer received a personalized recognition from our Minister of Economic Development, Ms. Giselle Mc William, in acknowledgement of her work in promoting the destination in 2019.

Willemstad - December 11, 2019 – Former international model, businesswoman and TV host with over 19.1 million followers on social media, Ana Hickmann has become Curaçao's newest ambassador in Brazil. In 2018, Ana chose Curaçao to record and produce the first international campaign for seven of her products, including apparel, shoes, eyewear, jewelry, bags, nail polish and denim. In February 2019, she traveled to the Caribbean island with a team of 11 people and stayed for 12 days to produce the materials for her campaign.

In recognition of her contributions, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) has named her the island’s Dushi (“dear” in Papiamento) Ambassador in Brazil. Recently she was invested as such during a ceremony at the offices of the Ministry of Economic Development. As expressed by the Minister of Economic Development, Ms. Giselle Mc William: “This is a symbol in recognition of a celebrity who has adopted Curaçao into her work and who has played an important role in bringing our two countries together even closer. May Ana continue to promote our Dushi Curaçao in Brazil.” The ceremony was attended by Curaçao Tourist Board CEO Mr. Paul Pennycook and other CTB officials.

From the very start, Ana has not only been highlighting Curaçao in printed catalogs and fashion films and on her social network platforms, but also by making references to unique features of the destination in the names chosen for some of her products, such as the Curaçao Blue, Tumba and Porto Maríe collections. In recent months, traditional Curaçao houses, the Handelskade, lionfish and local birds, plants and flowers have also been featured in a number of the prints of her bikinis, shirts, dresses and other items being marketed in stores and over the Internet. All of the production took place with the official support of the CTB.

"It will be my great pleasure and honor to represent the island of Curaçao in Brazil and to keep talking about the beauties of this place, as I have been doing since my first visit here in February. Brazil and Curaçao are very much alike in terms of their origins, cultures and welcoming people. So, it is with great affection that I receive this honor," said an emotional Ana Hickmann. Ana Hickmann was vacation on the island with her husband Alexandre Correa, her son Alexandre and her sister Fernanda.

Europe, our leading producing region grew 14% for November, while arrivals form the Caribbean region jumped 20% for the month. North America recorded a decline of 15% because of decreased airlift, while South America declined by 23% primarily because the Venezuelan border was closed and it was open at this time last year. The significant increase from Europe and the Caribbean region is directly related to increased service out of Amsterdam as well as the start of new service twice weekly from Port of Spain with Caribbean Airlines. Curaçao welcomed 16,787 visitors from The Netherlands thereby accounting for an increase of 17%. Visitors from Trinidad & Tobago doubled in November 2019.

-La mejor aerolínea bajo costo de Latinoamérica y la tercera a nivel mundial, según los KAYAK Awards, celebra su tercer año de operaciones por todo lo alto con la incorporación de su nueva aeronave Boeing 737-800.

-Con más de 2,8 millones de pasajeros transportados y una red que ya alcanza 21 rutas en 10 países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, incluyendo vuelos a Bogotá desde Curaçao, Wingo se sigue consolidando como la aerolínea bajo costo con mayor proyección de la región.

Bogotá, diciembre de 2019 – Hace tres años, nació un nuevo capítulo en la aviación latinoamericana; uno lleno de buena onda, puntualidad y precios realmente bajos…por eso hoy, en Wingo, celebramos ser los protagonistas de esta historia.

Desde nuestro inicio de operaciones y hasta la fecha, hemos transportado a más de 2.8 millones de pasajeros, que además de precios bajos, han disfrutado de un servicio profesional y puntual. En estos tres años, hemos mantenido un indicador de cumplimiento de nuestros itinerarios del 99,9%, lo cual nos ha convertido en una de las aerolíneas bajo costo más puntuales del mundo.

“Wingo nació como la respuesta a todos esos viajeros que no solo buscaban tarifas bajas sino un servicio cumplido y respetuoso; y, precisamente, esa fórmula única de puntualidad, precios bajos y buena onda es la que nos ha convertido, en solo tres años, en una aerolínea rentable y con gran proyección” aseguró Carolina Cortizo, Directora General de Wingo “Hoy, en el marco de esta celebración, iniciamos la transición de la flota de Wingo y recibimos nuestra primera aeronave tipo Boeing 737-800, un avión que nos permitirá aumentar nuestra oferta de sillas en un 31% y reducir nuestros costos de operación, lo cual se traducirá en más tarifas bajas para nuestros pasajeros".

Otra muestra del desempeño positivo de Wingo durante su tercer año se refleja en el aumento de capacidad de un 7% en comparación con el año pasado, manteniendo un factor de ocupación promedio del 87% en todas las rutas.

“Nos enorgullece como Oficina de Turismo de Curaçao, ser pioneros en los planes de trabajo de Wingo, y recibimos con mucha satisfacción el hecho de que una aeronave de este tipo se una a los vuelos que la aerolínea ofrece para conectar a viajeros colombianos con nuestra isla. Esto sin duda contribuye al fortalecimiento de Curaçao en la mente de los turistas colombianos que cada vez más nos visitan, encontrando en él, una oferta amplia y variada de turismo, entretenimiento, descanso y diversión”, manifestó André Rojer, Gerente Regional para América del Sur.

Adicionalmente, durante 2019, transportamos 6% más pasajeros que el año anterior, con la misma flota de aviones; y continuamos la expansión de nuestra red de rutas con la incorporación de cuatro nuevos destinos internacionales desde Bogotá hacia Curazao, Santo Domingo, Guayaquil, San José de Costa Rica; y una nueva ruta entre Panamá y Habana

“Es un honor de ser uno de los primeros destinos en recibir al nuevo equipo de Wingo con mas capacidad y reiterando la importancia del mercado Colombiano para Curacao. Con apenas meses de haber lansado los vuelos el impacto en las cifras de pasajeros que recibimos atravez de Wingo ha sido muy positivo y con muy buenos espectativas para el futuro. Wingo es un socio muy importante para nosotros y que complimenta perfectamente nuestro red de rutas” aseguró Peggy Croes – Directora de Mercadeo, Air Service y Desarrollo del Aeropuerto Internacional Hato de Curaçao.

Es por eso que, hoy materializamos estos grandes resultados con la llegada de nuestra primera aeronave Boeing 737-800. Esta transición terminará en enero, cuando completaremos el cambio de todos nuestros aviones.

¡Wingo sigue volando alto y demostrando que el bajo costo de calidad sí es posible!

As a platform, the Tourism and Leisure Fair has always been perfect for introducing people to Curaçao or to give prospective visitors that final nudge to see that their dream vacation is indeed awaiting them in Curaçao!

WILLEMSTAD – March 24, 2020 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health, the Environment and Nature (GMN) and the Ministry   of Economic Development (MEO), has been installing signage reminiding all to maintain  physical distance. The signs were commissioned in view of the situation we are all living at the moment, which requires that we work together to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The signs are meant to raise awareness among the population of the need to maintain a physical distance of 2 meters (just under 7 feet) from others. It is important to keep in mind that, actually, the main takeaway is for everyone to stay home, leaving only for what may be considered essential activities. If you do need to leave the house, do not gather with others, but keep your physical distance at all times. The message on the signs is displayed in different languages so as to reach as many as possibe. The sign has already been placed at Playa Piskadó. In the coming days, more signs will be placed at other public beaches and nature areas. 

So, leave home only for what are considered essential activities. Maintain a physical distance of 2 meters from others. For all the latest developments and tips on the coronavirus, please visit www.gobiernu.cw and the Curaçao Government’s Facebook page, or WhatsApp at 564-0440. Let’s be responsible and take good care of each other.

WILLEMSTAD- May 19, 2020 – In a recent press conference, the Minister of Economic Development, Ms. Giselle Mc William, together with the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), the Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association (CHATA) and Curaçao Airport Holding (CAH), presented Phase 1 of a Tourism Recovery Plan. As is well known, the island’s tourism is completely paralyzed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan entails reintroducing tourism on Curaçao in a contained manner, accepting a select group to come and visit the island, thus gradually restoring economic activities and stimulating employment. The plan will allow us to start promoting Curaçao as a destination ahead of the competition.

The focus will be on the Netherlands as the primary market, considering that Curaçao is already receiving weekly flights from this country. For the recovery plan, the CTB identified six focus groups: tourists looking for an extended stay, digital nomads, those who have a second home in Curaçao, people from Curaçao living abroad, task force professionals and those opting to leave within 14 days, this group will only experience their vacation under the pre-stipulated quarantined conditions.

For Phase 1, the sales proposition will be aimed at selling packages to persons interested in travelling to Curaçao for a minimum of 7 and up to 180 days and who are willing to stay in mandatory quarantine for the first 14 days at designated accommodations. After the 14-day period, visitors will be tested for COVID-19 and, as long as the results are negative, will be free to book any other accommodation and enjoy our country, subject of course to the same rules that apply to the local community. Visitors who wish to stay for less than 14 days may enjoy their vacation only subject to the conditions that apply during the quarantine period. CHATA conducted a survey to have an indication of which hotels would be available to serve as quarantine hotels. The Ministry of Public Health, the Environment and Nature (GMN) has provided a protocol for hotels that will serve as quarantine hotels, as well as others. Hotels will be putting standard procedures in place, such as the appointment of a person in charge of the hygiene protocol. The personnel will receive training from, among others, GMN and CHATA. During the Press Conference, CHATA presented a digital copy of the ‘Best Practice Protocol Report’ to Minister Mc William. CHATA’s New Normal Committee in collaboration with Ministry of Economic Development (MEO) and GMN created this report.

The first phase of the Tourism Recovery Plan will revolve around elements that fit well with the current reality, such as tranquility, sun, sea and sand —the ingredients people need to be able to “recharge.” The CTB’s promotion will present Curaçao as a safe haven, a sanctuary; somewhere you can escape to and be far away from all that is happening. The promotion will feature the message; Curaçao, your home away from home, now available. The promotional plan includes digital campaigns, newspaper ads in the Netherlands, as well as press releases to the Dutch media.

Upon arrival at the Curaçao International Airport, passengers will go through check-in procedures already in place, handled by the Ministry of GMN’s personnel. All passengers will have to follow the airport’s hygiene directions. Signs have been placed at different locations in the airport, informing passengers on the social-distancing and other hygiene procedures in place. Minister Mc William stated in conclusion that, for the plan to succeed, good teamwork and strict hygiene procedures are a must. The concept will be rolled out on a small and controlled scale and, based on continuous evaluations, be gradually extended to other accommodations and markets. Together we can continue working out Curaçao’s economic recovery. We must reopen our tourism—smartly and safely.

This was done symbolically by launching the creation of a mural on the wall of the Aqualectra complex at the entrance of Koredor. The artist commissioned for the mural is Sander van Beusekom of BLEND Creative Imaging. The Quick-Win Plan is one of the action points in the vision to develop the Zakito area, which was adopted by the Council of Ministers in December of 2018. The Government of Curaçao and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) signed an agreement for the execution of the Quick-Win Plan at the beginning of this year.

The Quick-Win Plan for the development of Zakito includes several minor improvements that will raise the area’s value, making it more attractive to the local community, promote community wellness, while at the same time generating interest among potential investors. These improvements include a thorough cleanup, added illumination, making improvements to a beach at Koredor and improving recreational facilities.

WILLEMSTAD- June 14, 2020 – In preparation for the gradual reopening of our borders, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health, the Environment and Nature (GMN), the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO), the Curaçao Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) and the private sector are all working on the implementation of a new set of protocols for the hospitality industry. With these protocols, the industry will be ready to apply the hygiene practices, enhanced sanitation procedures and physical distancing laid down by the public-health authorities. At the same time, this information will come in handy to our partners abroad who sell our destination. This set of protocols will be branded “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way.” With “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way”, the CTB wishes to convey that Curaçao is virtually COVID-Free and is a destination offering visitors a safe, healthy and pleasant stay, while ensuring that visitors and workers in the industry alike adhere to the protocols that come with the new normal.

The health of our visitors, workers in the industry and the local population remains paramount as we strive to reopen our borders very soon. The hospitality-industry protocols will include instructions on communication with personnel, as well as with tourists before and after their arrival, during their stay, around and after their return to their home country. They also cover personnel training, measures to prevent the spread of infections, physical distancing, hygiene and sanitation guidelines, and the procedures to be followed if someone is showing COVID-19 symptoms.

To assure that the industry is well-informed on the content of these protocols, the CTB, in close collaboration with GMN and the private sector will be providing ‘information sessions’ for the hospitality sector, specifically for businesses in the accommodation, restaurant, attractions, public transportation and watersports industries. The Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association (CHATA) will take care of communicating the “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way” protocols to their members.

For travel agents abroad and the island’s future visitors, the CTB has prepared a digital welcome card and a video with a clear and easy breakdown of the arrangements that our destination has put in place to start receiving visitors once again.

Like many other countries around the globe, Curaçao has been affected by COVID-19. The developments in connection with this pandemic brought our tourism industry to a full stop. With the responsible and gradual reopening of our borders, Curaçao will begin to receive tourists once more. The CTB will continue monitoring all developments and remain in consultation with the relevant and competent authorities in order to be able to share all relevant information across our target markets. We have left the old normal behind. Together, we are about to embark on the road to the new normal.

WILLEMSTAD- June 30, 2020 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health, the Environment & Nature (GMN) and the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO), has organized two information sessions for stakeholders in the hospitality industry, in preparation for the reopening of our borders. The sessions covered various protocols that have been developed in collaboration with GMN and MEO for the hospitality industry, as well as began to prepare hospitality workers to meet the customer service demands of the “new normal.” The sessions were attended by 164 persons in total.

These protocols have been branded “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way.” The branding is meant to convey that Curaçao is one destination where the visitor can enjoy a safe, healthy and pleasant stay, with the assurance that both visitors and workers observe the protocols as per the new normal, here. The sessions opened with a welcome by the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina, followed by CTB CEO Mr. Paul Pennicook who outlined the phased recovery strategy implemented by the CTB. He also presented Marketing & PR initiatives that are part of the recovery campaign. Participants were then led through the details of the hospitality industry protocols, in a section including a digital presentation by Dr. Gerstenbluth. Both sessions ended with a workshop on the subject of Customer Service in the New Normal.

In preparation for the gradual and responsible reopening of our borders, the CTB has produced various communication materials geared toward travel agents abroad and future visitors to the island. These include; a video and a digital card with a clear and easy breakdown of the arrangements that have been put in place to start welcoming visitors once again. In addition, together with other stakeholders a portal has been created containing a few mandatory steps visitors have to follow before departure to Curaçao. These steps include; uploading of the PCR test result and completing the Digital Immigration card and the Passenger Locator Card (PLC). The CTB also designed the Dushi Stay app, which provides a ‘Welcome back’ message, a link to the detailed protocols, emergency numbers, a link to curacao.com, push-notification messages with the latest news and more. As soon as they arrive at our airport, tourists will be receiving a card with the Public Health Department contact information and the notification to download the Dushi Stay app. The CTB has also produced a protocol poster for the industry, which can be hung at establishments to inform tourists on all the local guidelines, such as those on physical distancing and hygiene. The poster also features GMN contact numbers in case a visitor starts to experience COVID-19 symptoms.

Like many other countries around the globe, Curaçao has been affected by COVID-19. The developments in connection with this pandemic brought our tourism industry to a full stop. With the responsible reopening of our borders, Curaçao will gradually begin to receive tourists once more. We have left the old normal behind and are moving forward together.

All the protocols prepared for the hospitality industry and presented at these information sessions are available on the CTB's corporate website: curacaotouristboard.com/covidprotocols.

The complex also includes a multifunctional basketball, volleyball and mini soccer field, two “bolas criollas” (boules) fields and an artificial-grass soccer field. The CTB and its partners in this project wish to thank all visitors to the area, and especially the inhabitants of Marie Pampoen, for their patience and understanding in connection with any inconveniences during the construction phase. We are counting on the continued cooperation of all visitors to the area, to care for the area and keep it clean and enjoyable, both for our own community and for all visitors to the island.

WILLEMSTAD- August 26, 2020 –  The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) recently hosted the first Curaçao Virtual Tourism Fair which targeted the European market. The Coronavirus global pandemic has made it necessary for various industries and agencies to utilize technology in order to continue doing business. The same is true for the CTB and the local hospitality sector. Promoting in a virtual environment has become mandatory if one is to remain competitive in the Tourism industry. This first edition of the Curaçao Virtual Tourism Fair was the digital interactive equivalent of events like Vakantiebeurs in the Netherlands or ITB in Germany. 

When Curaçao reopened the borders on July 1, the first countries for which the borders were opened were Western-European countries like the Netherlands and Germany.  It follows that the first travel agents and tour operators to be invited to the virtual fair were from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

At the event, the CTB offered a presentation with up-to-date information on Curaçao’s tourism product and the protocols that have been put in place. The participants were also able to speak live to partners in the hotel industry, diving operators and partners offering other tourist attractions. Instead of using a traditional physical booth, participants were able to meet virtually to give and view presentations, reconnect, interact with each other, and reach promotional agreements. “In its continued efforts to promote the country, the CTB finds novel and creative ways to get the job done,” said CTB CEO Paul Pennicook, adding that with hundreds of tour operators and travel agents as well as 58 suppliers participating in the first Curaçao Virtual Tourism Fair it is fair to say this was a tremendous success”, continued Mr. Pennicook.

The CTB intends to take the Curaçao Virtual Tourism Fair to other markets like North and South America, in the not too distance future. The CTB wishes to thank CHATA and the 45 private-sector partners for their participation in the first Curaçao Virtual Tourism Fair.

...Preliminary September Visitor Arrivals 2020...
WILLEMSTAD – October 6, 2020 - The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting a steady increase in stayover arrivals each month since the travel restrictions for some countries have been lifted on July 1. We welcomed 8,195 and 9,227 stayover visitors in July and August respectively. In September, we welcomed 10,418 stayover visitors. Ninety one percent of the reported visitors came from Europe.

With only a select number of countries mostly in Western Europe meeting the risk threshold, 91% of the European visitors came from the Netherlands.

Fifty five percent of these European visitors stayed in resort hotels (small-, large hotels and bungalow resorts), while 45% stayed in alternative accommodations in September. The chart below shows the distribution by the accommodation type for the European visitors.

It is really good to see an increased share of the European visitors staying in resort hotels. Also, there is an increase in the share of visitors staying in large hotels and bungalow resorts. This is a direct result of continued promotional efforts in Europe between CTB and Industry Partners. Another interesting indictor is the average nights spent by European visitors.

Willemstad – October 30, 2020 - A delegation of the Dutch professional soccer club Ajax is visiting Curaçao to strengthen the collaboration within the context of their partnership. The visit was planned for earlier this year but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could only happen now. Among other things, the Ajax delegation met with the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina.

Since the beginning of this year, Curaçao has been featured prominently on Ajax shirt sleeves and receives with the promotions around the matches, coverage on television and other Ajax media outlets that reach millions of the club’s fans in the Netherlands and around the world.

“With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on tourism, it is more important than ever to be visible and to remind as many people as possible that Curacao is one of the few sunny destinations where travelers are welcome, under certain conditions. We are therefore delighted to welcome the Ajax delegation on this visit to get acquainted with the island of Curaçao,” declared Minister Martina.

The Ajax delegation will be travelling back to Amsterdam later this week.

The course was offered by the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) in close collaboration with SOAW, the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO) and Curaçao Tropical Spa. The certificate handout ceremony was held at the Academy Hotel Curaçao in the presence of the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina, and the Minister of Social Development, Labor and Welfare, Mr. Hensley Koeiman.

In addition to the theoretical aspects, the participants learned to apply massaging techniques using natural products such as calabash. The course also included modules on customer service, finances, marketing and entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurship session provided the participants with the tools they will need in order to set up their own business in the future. The course started in the beginning of this year and was concluded through virtual sessions in September. In addition to a certificate from Curaçao Tropical Spa, the participants also received one from the Carmen Llanos-Ali Tajan training institute, a Colombian institute that worked with Curaçao Tropical Spa for the certification of the massage course.

The CTB, SOAW and MEO wish these participants all the best in their future endeavors.

...Preliminary Visitor Arrivals October 2020...
WILLEMSTAD – November 5, 2020 - The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 13,556 stayover visitors for October 2020. It is the first time since the gradual lifting of travel restrictions to Curaçao that we see such a substantial increase in stayover arrivals.  We welcomed 8,195, 9,227 and 10,418 stayover visitors in July, August and September respectively. The passenger cap of 10,000 per month was increased to 20,000 per month in October and this allowed for the solid jump to 13,556 stayover visitors (see figure 1). Ninety four percent of the reported visitors came from Europe.

Ninety four percent of the European visitors came from the Netherlands. We have welcomed 11,979 Dutch visitors, which is 24% less compared to October 2019. Out of Germany, we registered 358 German visitors, an 81% decrease compared to last year. Sixty percent of these European visitors stayed in resort hotels (small-, large hotels and bungalow resorts), while 40% stayed in alternative accommodations in October (see figure 2). October recorded a strong increased share of the European visitors, which also resulted in an increase and share for resort hotels.  This is a direct result of continued promotional efforts in Europe between CTB and Industry Partners and the ability to welcome more visitors as of October. Another interesting indictor is the average nights spent by European visitors. In October, the average night spent was 10.8, while last year we registered 8.9 nights.  This is a 21% increase in average nights spent on the island.

...Preliminary November Visitor Arrivals 2020...
WILLEMSTAD – December 11, 2020 - The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 13,705 stayover visitors for the month of November. So far, we have seen a steady increase in stayover arrivals each month since the gradual lifting of travel restrictions on July 1. We welcomed 8,195, 9,227, 10,420 and 13,556 stayover visitors in July, August, September, October respectively and now 13,705 for November (see figure 1).

Fifty five percent of these European visitors stayed in resort hotels (small-, large hotels and bungalow resorts), while 45% stayed in alternative accommodations in November. The chart below (figure 2) shows the distribution by the accommodation type for the European visitors. Another developing trend that we are noticing for the European visitor is the average nights spent. European visitors spent two additional nights in November compared to November 2019. The average night spent was 11.4, while last year we registered 9.3 nights. 

From the Caribbean region, we have welcomed 556 stayover visitors in November, primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands.

...for the International Press and Media Partners...
WILLEMSTAD- December 14, 2020 –  Last November, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) held several virtual trips with the press and media partners of the US, Canada, Germany, Surname, Colombia and Brazil. The traditional personal and interactive press trips had to be discontinued with the arrival of the pandemic, which also resulted in travel restrictions for visitors coming in from some of our main markets. The CTB therefore had to find alternative methods to keep up communication with the international press. The main goal with these virtual press trips was to keep the international press and media partners up to date with all that Curaçao has to offer as a tourist destination, for them to relay the information to future visitors in their respective markets.

These virtual press trips have succeeded in strengthening relationship with the media partners and at the same time bring a taste of Curaçao a bit more within reach of these markets—in some cases literally. In some markets, pumpkin pancakes and signature Curaçao cocktails were prepared for the occasion. Each session was intended for a limited group of press representatives, who got to participate in some live and interactive activities. The 1-hour live segments each started with either the ‘Welcome Back’ or the ‘We Hope to See You Soon’ video, based on the country’s status. After a brief introduction by the CTB, the members of the international press were taken on a virtual trip to get to see and experience activities all around the island. Some live and pre-recorded activities included rappelling from the Queen Juliana Bridge, a tour through Willemstad, ATV Buggy Tour, making cocktails and awa di lamunchi.

The CTB has been receiving positive feedback from several participants who are excited about visiting Curaçao as soon as this is possible again. The CTB wishes to thank all private-sector partners who contributed to these virtual press trips.

WILLEMSTAD - January 14, 2021 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and the University of Curaçao Dr. Moises da Costa Gomez (UoC) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This MoU is the result of several meetings between the CTB and the university to formalize a non-exclusive framework of co-operation between the two parties. It covers exchange and collaboration programs between the parties in the areas of knowledge, sustainable development and tourism industry expansion. The MoU was signed by CTB CEO, Paul Pennicook and Rector Magnificus of the UoC, Dr. Francis de Lanoy. Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Pennicook stated: “We see the signing of this MoU with the UoC as a way to contribute to the development of the human capital the tourism industry needs. The students enrolled in the International Hospitality & Tourism Management program are the ones who will have to lead this important industry in the future. That is why every investment made in their development now could be of great value to their future careers.” Dr. De Lanoy, in turn, said: “We should avail ourselves of this COVID period to duly prepare our young people to enable them to support the sector in rebuilding the Tourism and Hospitality Industry of our island. The international focus of the program will provide them with the knowledge and skills to not only be able to work locally, but also globally. The power of our island lies in our people and diversity, that’s why the UoC’s slogan is not without reason: “Building local strength for a global future”.

In total, the MoU covers eight areas, including the development of research projects in the interest of the tourism industry, the involvement of students in conducting research, the interchange of information, resources and academic publications, and the exploration of areas of interest within the context of marketing and product development, with certification/accreditation options available to both parties.

The parties already started living up to the spirit of the MoU last year when, for instance, students received a guest lecture by CTB’s CEO along with support through presentation during the orientation at the onset of the program and certification session as part of the real life work program at Dreams Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino, Avila Beach Hotel, Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort and Sunscape Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino.

WILLEMSTAD – January 20, 2021 -

December Visitor Arrivals 2020
The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 9,909 stayover visitors for the month of December, which was a disappointing way to end the year. Because of Covid-19 Curaçao introduced travel restrictions back in March 2020. The travel restrictions began to be lifted mid-June with the Dutch Caribbean islands followed by Europe on July1. For the third quarter (July, August, September) we welcomed 8,195, 9,227 and 10,420 stayover arrivals, respectively. For the fourth quarter (October, November, December) we welcomed 13,556, 13,705 and 9,909 stayover arrivals, respectively.  The disappointing numbers for December are directly related to a negative travel advice announced by the Dutch Government early in December, placing Curaçao to code orange. This development is also having a negative impact on future arrivals from the Netherlands.

For December, we welcomed 7,092 Dutch visitors, which is 61% less than December 2019. Out of Germany, we registered 306 visitors. Of these European visitors 35% stayed in resort hotels in December. This compares to 55% staying in previous months, which is another impact of the negative travel advice.  On the other hand, we noticed a much higher average stay in December.  European visitors spent almost four additional nights compared to December 2019. The average night spent was 13.6, while December 2019 we registered 10.0 nights. 

With the lifting of travel restrictions for only four US states, combined with limited air service we welcomed 960 visitors out of the United States of America in December. The share of arrivals from the USA is 10%.  One hundred and thirty seven visitors were welcomed out of Canada.

From the Caribbean region, we have welcomed 424 stayover visitors in December, primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands.

Year to date: January through December 2020

For 2020, we have welcomed 174,871 stayover visitors reaching only 38% of the number of visitors registered in 2019. We look back at a strong start of 2020 where 62% of all stayover arrivals was welcomed in the first three months of the year. The majority of our visitors originated from Europe (64%); followed by North America where 19% share in arrivals was from the region. South America, Caribbean and the rest of the world registered 8%, 6% and 3% respectively.

“With Curaçao being designated to code orange by the Netherlands, we foresee challenging monthly arrivals from the Netherlands in the first quarter of 2021. We remain hopeful that the travel advice will change soon, so that we can once again welcome the Dutch visitors. Meanwhile CTB continues to promote Curaçao in its key markets, now that travel restrictions have been lifted for the rest of the world. The objective is to stimulate demand across all markets for the rest of the year”, commented CTB CEO, Paul Pennicook.

WILLEMSTAD – February 12, 2021 - January Visitor Arrivals 2021 - The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 5,790 stayover visitors for the month of January. The disappointing numbers for January are directly related to a negative travel advice announced by the Dutch Government early in December 2020, placing Curaçao to code orange. This decision continues to have a negative impact on arrivals from our number one market; The Netherlands.

For January, we welcomed 3,170 Dutch visitors, which is 83% less than January 2020. Out of Germany, we registered 191 visitors. Of these European visitors, only 31% stayed in resort hotels in January. This compares to 55% staying in resort hotels in previous months, which is another impact of the negative travel advice.

From the United States of America we welcomed 739 visitors in January. One hundred and twenty one visitors were welcomed out of Canada and out of the South American region, 342 visitors were welcomed. Of the South America arrivals, 57% came from Colombia.
From the Caribbean region, we have welcomed 456 stayover visitors in January, primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands.

“The situation with the Corona virus in Curaçao has been steadily improving. The daily count of newly infected cases has been very low and active cases are less than 100. The government of Curaçao and all sectors of the industry are working to maintain this improving situation while at the same time liaising with the government of the Netherlands to try to get Curaçao back to code yellow soonest possible”, commented CTB CEO, Paul Pennicook.

WILLEMSTAD- March 5, 2021 – Recently the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) took notice of the fact that Curaçao has been included in headlines in the US market citing a “Level 4” advisory as issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. While the notice was highlighted by media on March 1, this is not a new development or a sign of deteriorating circumstances, as the level 4 designation for Curaçao is from fall 2020. Curaçao, as well as many countries in the Caribbean region, share this same designation by the CDC. The fact that this news is being highlighted now is taken very seriously by the CTB and private sector partners, as it could have negative consequences for bookings from the US to Curaçao.

Travel restrictions for travelers from the entire US states were lifted by the Curaçao Government as of January 1^st. Since then the market has been gradually picking up considering the current airlift from this particular market. As soon as the CTB took notice of the headlines in the US market we reached out to the media who highlighted this news to discuss this issue with them and present them with the current facts. Besides that, a statement was sent out to all US travel partners highlighting the fact that in the last 28 days, the island has maintained a positivity rate of less than 3%. The statement also covers the fact that, the CTB implements several programs designed with Curaçao’s visitors and locals at the forefront, stressing complete transparency and continuously updating its website, www.curacao.com, with the latest travel updates. CTB also widely publicizes the island’s physical distancing efforts, entry protocols and new tools available to visitors. Furthermore, the island’s hotels, restaurants and attractions have adapted their offerings to meet the ever-evolving needs of today’s travelers.

The CTB will continue to monitor this situation closely and will take the actions necessary to mitigate any possible effect on future bookings to Curaçao.

WILLEMSTAD – March 10, 2021

February Visitor Arrivals 2021
The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 8,144 stayover visitors for the month of February.  This is an increase in stayover arrivals in February compared to January. There is a slight uptick in Dutch visitors despite the negative travel advice announced by the Dutch Government. The stayover arrivals in February are similar to the number of arrivals welcomed in July 2020, when travel restrictions previously imposed because of Covid, were lifted for the first time.

For February, we welcomed 5,179 Dutch visitors, which is 71% less than February 2020. Out of Germany, we registered 372 visitors. The German Government recently lifted a negative travel advice to Curaçao; we foresee a promising outlook in March regarding German visitor arrivals. Of these European visitors, only 40% stayed in resort hotels in February. This compares to 55% staying in resort hotels in previous months, and is another indication of the impact of the negative travel advice from The Netherlands.  

From the United States of America we welcomed 1,095 visitors in February. Traffic out of USA is moving in a positive direction. The market is slowly recovering now that visitors from all States are welcome. Out of the South American region, 279 visitors were welcomed. Of the South America arrivals, 53% came from Colombia.

From the Caribbean region, we have welcomed 450 stayover visitors in February, primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands.

“It is good to see traffic from the USA trending in a positive direction. At the same time, the effort by the Government and all sectors of the industry to try and get Curaçao back to code yellow with the Netherlands, continues”, commented CTB CEO, Paul Pennicook.

WILLEMSTAD – March 12, 2021 – The Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina, together with Mrs. Zita Jesus-Leito, MBA Minister of Traffic, Transportation and Urban Planning and of Public Health, the Environment and Nature, have marked the start for the painting of the mural that will soon embellish the outer wall of the local water and energy production company Aqualectra at the entrance of the Koredor area. The mural will be realized in execution of the Quick Win Plan for the development of the Zakito area and will cover three sections of about 150 feet each. The artist commissioned for the mural is Sander van Beusekom of BLEND Creative Imaging. Also through PickNic Projects, individual members of the local community, will be involved in this project. The Quick Win Plan is one of the action points in the vision to develop the Zakito area, adopted by the Council of Ministers in December of 2018. An agreement for the Quick Win Plan’s execution was signed by the Government of Curaçao and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) at the beginning of 2020.

The Quick Win Plan is aimed at developing the Zakito area by carrying out several minor improvements that will raise the area’s value, making it more attractive for leisure and sports activities, thus promoting wellness activities in the local community. At the same time, these improvements will serve to generate more interest among possible investors and other stakeholders to participate in the area’s development. As part of the plan, repairs have already been made to palapas, parts of two buildings and some elements of the Parke Lucha pa Libertat. The area has also been cleaned up and there are several other quick wins in progress. Our special thanks go to Aqualectra’s Management for their help in repairing the wall and making it ready to receive the coming mural.

WILLEMSTAD – March 15, 2021 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao have signed a cooperation agreement to address the issue of stray dogs on the island’s streets. This is a situation that Curaçao has been facing for many years, in our residential neighborhoods as well as downtown and in tourism areas. A study carried out in 2016 put the number of stray dogs on the island at 6000. Both for the welfare of our local animal population and in view of the unsightliness resulting from strays walking around on the streets, especially in view of our visitors, action was required. The Ministry of Economic Development has made funds available for the implementation of the cooperation agreement between the CTB and the local foundation for the protection of animals, Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao. The agreement was signed by CTB’s CEO, Paul Pennicook and Gregory Berry, chairman of the Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao, in the presence of the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina, Minister of Public Health, the Environment and Nature, Zita Jesus-Leito, MBA, Secretary of the Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao, Syreeta Wansing and CTB Deputy Director, Hugo Clarinda.

The 1-year agreement covers financial support to Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao, provided in the first place for the construction of a shelter that will be housing the dogs that are taken from the street. The shelter will be built on a lot made available to Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao in accordance with a management agreement signed with the Department for Land Management (Domeinbeheer). Furthermore, Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao will also sterilize and care for the dogs taken from the street. Another responsibility of the foundation is that of carrying out an adoption campaign to find new homes for these animals. Additionally, the CTB will provide Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao with support in carrying out awareness campaigns emphasizing the importance of sterilizing dogs.

The ministries involved, together with the CTB and Stichting Dierenbescherming Curaçao, depend on the cooperation of the local community so that, together, we may solve the issue of strays on our streets.

Over the two days of the event, the CTB booth exchanged thousands of ‘virtual business cards’ and chatted with hundreds of Travel Agents, mostly from Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Pero and Argentina. These agents showed a genuine interest in new and different destinations such as Curaçao, for their clients.

The Curaçaoteam had two booths where, among other things, CTB representatives for the Latin American region shared information on the attractive product Curaçao has to offer, including the protocols that apply in our country and the available airlift. In an adjoining booth, the representatives of Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort, Dreams Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino and the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort shared updated information on how their respective properties have adapted to comply with the needs of today’s travelers. Throughout the day, visitors to the virtual fair were able to follow several presentations, including an updated presentation on Curaçao’s tourism product. The team also held meetings with key partners in the Latin American region and discussed business opportunities with Latin American travel agents, as these agents have groups pending to identify destinations for events such as corporate meetings, family reunions and weddings.

CTB will continue to actively participate and organize virtual platforms to keep doing business with our clients to stimulate an increase in visitor arrivals to Curaçao.

WILLEMSTAD- May 20, 2021 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) recently organized an interactive seminar on the North American market. CHATA and CASHA members were the invited participants. The session was hosted by Paul Pennicook, CEO of the Curaçao Tourist Board. The main goal of the session was to highlight the importance of the North American market and how we can increase our share of visitors from this market together as Curaçao. The session was attended by 23 tourism industry partners.

During his presentation Mr. Pennicook outlined the total stayover arrivals of 2018, 2019 and the first two months of 2020. Arrivals from North America have been growing steadily recording an increase of 24% during January and February 2020 compared to the same months in 2019. This growth can be attributed to a major shift in booking channels from primarily Online Travel Agencies (OTA’s) to other channels such as Tour Operators, Retail Travel Agents and direct bookings. The channel to demonstrate the biggest growth was Retail Travel Agents which was a direct result of a strategic move by CTB to better educate and support Retail Travel Agents. Thijs van der Valk from Baoase Luxury Resort, shared his best practices that work for the North American market.

Following the interactive discussion Mr. Pennicook presented trade activities and actions currently taking place in the North American market. Actions like co-op campaigns, airline marketing campaigns, webinars & virtual tradeshows, e-blasts, travel agent publications and bi-weekly conversations with trade partners. Additionally, the marketing & PR activities executed in the North American market include digital advertising campaigns, journalist visits, influencer trips and adjusted creatives to reach the new traveler.

CTB encouraged industry players to utilize all distribution channels available to grow their business. CTB will work with the overseas partners to broaden representation of the local tourism product in their various programs. At the end CTB, CHATA and CASHA committed to continue to collaborate to jointly promote the destination. According to Mr. Pennicook, “By highlighting the unique selling points of Curaçao, together we can drive significant growth in tourism arrivals from the North American market”.

WILLEMSTAD- May 19, 2021 - Outgoing Minister of Economic Development Dr. Steven Martina, on behalf of the Government of Curaçao, together with Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) CEO Paul Pennicook, recently signed an implementation agreement for the official transfer of funds in connection with the third phase of the Marie Pampoen Recreational Area project.

In recent years, many improvements have been made to the infrastructure in the Marie Pampoen area, which has no doubt not gone unnoticed by the public. The improvements are all part of a master plan to create an attractive area, with economic activities for the community of Curaçao, especially those living in or close to the neighborhood of Marie Pampoen. Ultimately, the area will also serve as a tourism product where visitors can mingle with locals. It has already become quite popular with the local community, and is being used for different recreational activities, events and sports. The third phase will focus on the middle section of the Marie Pampoen Recreational Area and includes among others a beach on land with palapas, a playground, an open-air fitness area, a skating – bicycle park, a pier, a beach volleyball court, bathrooms, 3 small business kiosks, landscaping, benches, etc.

The CTB has been tasked with coordinating the project and will soon initiate the tendering process.

Willemstad – June 9, 2021 – During a press conference today, the Curaçao Tourist Board represented by CTB’s CEO Paul Pennicook presented the latest updates in Curaçao’s tourism arrivals, airlift scenario and the key marketing initiatives currently being executed in the main markets. The press conference opened with a welcome word by the Minister of Economic Development, Dr. Steven Martina underlining the importance of the tourism sector to further boost economic development.

Tourist arrivals 2020

CTB reported 2020 was a difficult year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. On a global scale a 74% drop in international tourism was recorded in 2020. While the Caribbean region saw an average decline of 67%, Curaçao had a decline of 62% in 2020. Since travel restrictions were lifted in July 2020 Curaçao started registering growth on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, due to the negative travel advice announced by the Dutch Government at the beginning of December 2020 placing Curaçao on code orange the tourist arrivals started registering a decline.

Tourist arrivals Q1 & Q2, 2021

The code orange designation had a negative impact on arrivals from the Netherlands for the first four months of 2021.Nonetheless, because of the USA, tourist arrivals picked up slowly registering 10,118 tourist arrivals for the month of March 2021. However, in April 2021 a major decline was registered (3,520) due to the imposed lockdown last week of March 2021 as a consequence of an upsurge in coronavirus cases over that period.

May 2021

For the month of May, the CTB is reporting 8,843 stayover visitors. We welcomed 5,440 European visitors with 4,792 coming from The Netherlands and 222 coming from Germany. Of these European visitors, 44% stayed in resort hotels. The average stay for Europeans was 13.5 nights, compared to 9.0 nights in May 2019. That is a 50% increase in the length of stay. From the USA, we welcomed 2,232. Traffic from the USA is moving in a positive direction, because visitors from all 50 states can now visit Curaçao. From South America, we welcomed 350 visitors, 60% of whom came from Colombia. We also welcomed 473 stayover visitors from the Caribbean. These visitors came primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands. Additionally, for the first 7 days of June, 4,398 stayover arrivals have been registered. Having gone through a very difficult March and April with Covid-19 in our primary source market, the Netherlands, as well as locally, it is really good to see arrivals picking up again. It is beginning to look promising for the “Summer” commented Paul Pennicook.

Connectivity of scheduled flights to Curaçao

The CTB announces an updated airlift schedule for the upcoming months. This includes increased frequencies and new flights to Curaçao. This improved schedule will increase the potential for growth in visitor arrivals for the upcoming months and the rest of 2021.

Increased flight frequency and current flight schedule

Starting July, KLM and TUI out of Amsterdam will be increasing their flight frequency. KLM will increase its flight frequency from daily to double daily while TUI will increase from 5 flights per week to 12 flights per week also starting July. For North America, American Airlines out of Miami is executing daily flights and 1 flight per week out of Charlotte. Furthermore, jetBlue is executing 3 flights per week out of New York. Additionally, Avianca is executing 2 flights per week from Bogotá, while COPA started last Saturday with 2 flights per week out of Panama and will be increasing to 4 flights per week as of July 2021. Wingo will also restart in July with 2 flights per week from Bogotá. Out of Caribbean, Divi Divi Air, EZ Air, Winair, Air Century, Sky High, AirCaribe and Jetair Caribbean are executing scheduled flights to several destinations in the Caribbean region.

New flights to Curaçao

Starting July, Air Belgium will be executing twice weekly flights to Curaçao via Martinique. While LukeAir will introduce weekly flights from Poland. In addition to its scheduled flights Jetair Caribbean will introduce direct flights to and from Kingston, Jamaica also starting July 2021.

Furthermore some ongoing marketing initiatives for the Netherlands, USA and Belgium were highlighted during the Press Conference.

WILLEMSTAD- July 11, 2021 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is reporting 21,223 stayover visitor arrivals for the month of June. With these arrivals, June has become the best performing month since we reopened for commercial airline traffic in July 2020. In mid-May, the Dutch Government announced positive travel advice for Curaçao and our designation was changed from code orange to code yellow.  In late May, Germany also lifted the travel advisory for Curaçao and the USA lowered the level of risk for travel to Curaçao from level 4 to level 2. At about the same time, Curaçao began lifting local measures that were imposed during the second wave of Covid.

The combination of positive travel advisories in our main markets and the relaxation of local Covid measures resulted in increased demand for the month of June. This positive trend in June continues in July and has made the rest of the year look promising for visitor arrivals.

For June, we welcomed 12,148 Dutch visitors and 485 German visitors. In total 13,541 European visitors were welcomed in June 2021. Of these European visitors, 55% stayed in resort hotels in June.

We welcomed 4,763 visitors from the USA in June. Which gives a clear indication that demand out of USA is moving in a positive direction now that visitors from all 50 States are welcome.

From the South American region, we welcomed 1,381 visitors. Of the South America arrivals, 46% and 15% came from Colombia and Brazil, respectively.

From the Caribbean region, we have welcomed 1,003 stayover visitors in June, primarily from the Dutch Kingdom islands.

“With over 21,000 stayover arrivals in June and the first cruise ship arrivals since March 2020, it is fair to say the recovery in tourism arrivals has really started. With a high rate of vaccination locally and very few active cases, Curaçao remains a very attractive destination for visitors. We therefore look forward to this positive trend in visitor arrivals continuing”, commented CTB CEO, Paul Pennicook.

Deputy Director of the CTB, Mr. Hugo Clarinda, spoke about the cleanup efforts which are also part of the campaign, focusing on roundabouts, plazas, and public and tourist areas. The cleanup efforts are carried out in close collaboration with Selikor, the Ministry of Health, the Environment and Nature/ LVV and the Public Works Department (DOW).

Phase 1 of the Curaçao is Dushi and Clean campaign includes a video clip, inspiring TV ads, a jingle and ads offering tips, all aimed at motivating the community to keep the island clean. The jingle was composed by Xavier Navarro and performed by Amos Balentin and Dibo Doran. The video clip and TV ads were directed by Ryan “QD” Navarro, while the voiceover was handled by Jefterick Luciano. The first three inspiring TV ads feature Uniek Curaçao’s Clarita Pieter-Hagenaar, Frengely “Frengo” Hooi of Selikor and Remyson Caldera of GreenKidz.

WILLEMSTAD- September 27, 2021 – Each year, World Tourism Day is celebrated on September 27 with the aim of promoting awareness of the social, cultural and economic value of tourism, and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) has chosen this date to launch a program introducing tourism to elementary school students. Tourism is one of the country’s key economic pillars, which is why it’s imperative to introduce the subject at the elementary school level. The program was launched by the Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje, together with the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, Sithree van Heydoorn and CTB Deputy Director, Hugo Clarinda. Also present at the occasion were representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Education and the school boards. The students will be introduced to tourism through interactive videos in combination with a workbook teaching them about the different tourism areas. The first video, which will soon be available in schools, was played for all present at the event.

Introducing tourism as a subject in elementary schools will contribute to a broader tourism awareness among our young ones. The subject will first be introduced to group 5, followed by groups 6 and 7. The tourism sector is dynamic and has many opportunities to offer. The introduction of tourism at the elementary-school level will also stimulate our young ones to opt for a career in tourism when choosing their learning pathway in secondary education.

Next, the program will include information sessions for school principals and teachers. The CTB wishes to thank all, and especially the Ministry of Education and the school boards, who have contributed to the realization of this program. It’s important for kids to be exposed to tourism from a young age and to know it as a sector that offers real perspectives.

The Minister of Economic Development, Mr. Ruisandro Cijntje shared some encouraging words with the participants of the first session while CTB CEO Mr. Paul Pennicook addressed the participants of the second session also motivating them considering the important role they play as tourism “frontliners”.

WILLEMSTAD- October 6, 2021 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and representatives of Timmendorfer Strand Niendorf Tourismus GmbH recently renewed the beach partnership between Timmendorfer Strand and Cas Abou Beach, which started back in 2013. The partnership will benefit both tourist destinations, as it opens opportunities for information and knowledge exchange between both beaches, particularly in the areas of sustainability, environmental protection and visitor satisfaction, and for cultural exchanges between the two destinations.

Several actions have been taken place under this agreement. For instance, a Curaçao branded beach chair at the Timmendorfer Strand. Also, together with several local diving-industry partners and German journalist Florian Guthknecht, who visited the island earlier this year, Curaçao participated in the Oceans Days event, with the aim of highlighting the island’s efforts to keep the Caribbean Sea clean. Furthermore, introduction of ‘The Timmendorfer Strand Signature Cocktail’ which was recently presented to German trade media and will be sold at Landhuis Chobolobo in the upcoming weeks.

Various further actions are planned for the coming season, such as promoting the island at events scheduled to take place at the Timmendorfer Strand namely Beach Concerts and German Beach Volleyball Championships finals, Curaçao integration in the “Strandmagazin” with a print run of 50,000, placing ads at Cas Abou Beach promoting Timmendorfer Strand, and an exchange program for German and Curaçaoan students, which will allow them to experience the tourism industry as it operates at both destinations.

The CTB is convinced that this agreement will have added value for the promotion of Curaçao in Germany, which is one of the island’s key markets.

Part of the Quick Win Plan for the Area’s Development
WILLEMSTAD- October 15, 2021 – The official unveiling of the Zakito mural took place in a pleasant atmosphere at Koredor with attendance of the Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje and the Minister of Traffic, Transportation and Urban Planning, Charles Cooper. The mural is part of the Quick Win Plan for the development of the Zakito area and is one of the action points in the vision for the area’s development adopted by the government of Curaçao. The Quick Win Plan is aimed at developing the Zakito area through several minor improvements that will raise the area’s value, making it more attractive for leisure and sports, thus promoting wellness activities. The Quick Win Plan’s execution is in the hands of the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB). The mural was created by artist Sander van Beusekom of BLEND Creative Imaging. At the event Mr. van Beusekom explained the artistic creation and the underlying meaning behind the mural in detail to the attendees.

The mural covers three sections of about 150 feet each. The first section expresses a warm welcome to visitors to the Koredor area, while conveying the importance of keeping the island’s underwater environment clean. The second section portrays Aqualectra’s history of water production, that began in 1928, combined with the area’s fishing history, which is still alive at Koredor. The third focuses on the value of wellness and sports—something the area is well-known for. Van Beusekom worked on the mural in collaboration with PickNic Projects, with locals from over ten different neighborhoods who helped out in the mural’s execution.

With the finalization of the Zakito mural art, Koredor will become more attractive, adding to the experience of both the local community and tourists visiting the spot. Our special thanks go to Aqualectra’s Management for their help in repairing the wall and making it ready to receive the mural. The CTB invites the community to visit the area, admire the mural, and enjoy some recreation. At the same time, let’s all play our part to keep the area clean. Together, we can do it!

The Curaçao Tourist Board gathered 120 people in a penthouse for a special event in Rio de Janeiro on July 25, to present the elements of its Caribbean identity. The event, entitled “A Night in Curaçao” took place in partnership with the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Rio de Janeiro, which opened its official residence in Lagoa to accommodate the festivities. The experience included some typical dishes (Bakiou ku Funchi and Karni Stobá) prepared by Chef Konofló (who travelled especially from Willemstad to be part of the event), original drinks made with Blue Curaçao liqueur, a photo backdrop of Cas Abou beach for interaction with guests, as well as typical music from Curaçao.

"It is a joy to host this event dedicated to Curaçao. We are all members of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but despite the name, the highest elevation of the Kingdom is located in Curaçao. It is Mount Christoffel, with an altitude of 370m", commented Niels Veenis, Deputy Consul General in Rio de Janeiro. The diplomat also reinforced the LGBT+ theme, since Curaçao participated in the Expo LGBT Fair at the Fairmont Hotel, in Copacabana. “Diversity is a very important topic for the Netherlands and to reinforce these values, especially in a country within the Dutch Kingdom, is fundamental”, concluded Veenis. 

Representatives of travel agencies, operators, airlines, journalists, influencers, Dutch businessmen, members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Rio de Janeiro, and staff from the Consulate General attended the event. This was the first official event organized as a partnership between the Curaçao Tourist Board and the Consulate General of the Netherlands. The aim is for both institutions to continue to work together in the future on other initiatives connected to tourism, culture, arts and heritage.

WILLEMSTAD- September 26, 2022 – World Tourism Day is commemorated every year on September 27 and its objective is to promote the importance of tourism and its social, cultural and economic value. The central theme this year is ‘Rethinking Tourism’, which means that we cannot go back to the old ways of working, but we need to stop and think on how to practice tourism and where we want to go with tourism. For the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) this theme is extremely important. Together with other players in the tourism industry, we must reflect and determine how Curaçao wants to move forward with tourism in order to reap benefits for our community.

In his official message related to the theme of World Tourism Day 2022, Secretary General of UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili stated: “As the world opens up again, we must learn the lessons of the pandemic and the associated pause in international travel. In exposing weaknesses, the crisis showed us where we can build more resilience. And in exposing inequalities, it also showed us where we can deliver more fairness”.

‘Rethinking Tourism’ for Curaçao means among other things that we need to determine together how to tackle the challenges that are emerging for the tourism industry. Curaçao’s tourism is developing in the right direction. In the first 8 months of the year, our country registered more stayover tourists compared to the same period in 2019, which was before the pandemic. Another positive development is the expansion of the accommodation portfolio that we are currently experiencing in our country. All of this requires attention and innovation, mainly related to product development, human resources and transportation. Some examples are; we need to create more types of tourist attractions for the tourists who visit our country, we need workers on different levels to occupy positions that are opening up in the tourism sector, and we will also need to discuss the issue of expanding the number of licenses for taxis and tour busses. CTB will continue its conversations with partners in the public and private sectors, with the aim of reaching practical solutions to the benefit of the tourism industry.

Willemstad, November 30, 2022 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) recently appointed two new brand ambassadors in Brazil, in addition to the existing brand ambassador, Ana Hickmann. The new ambassadors are: businesswoman and party planner Andréa Guimarães and travel influencer Lala Rebelo. During a ceremony in São Paulo, Brazil, both new ambassadors received a well-deserved recognition for promoting the island of Curaçao. The title of ambassador is a symbolic recognition of these two women who chose Curaçao in a unique way and showed the love they feel for the island. CTB trusts that they will continue to spread this feeling for Curaçao throughout Brazil.

Andréa Guimarães visited Curaçao in August of last year, thereby bringing a lot of visibility to the island. One of the results was that Guimarães returned to the island in November 2021 with some celebrities for an editorial branding project. The group returned this year with some popular brands for another production. Andréa Guimarães is the main party planner in Brazil and serves big names on TV as well as singers and famous sportsmen.

Lala Rebelo is an advertising and digital content creator, author of one of the largest luxury travel blogs in Brazil. She has traveled to more than 80 countries and after becoming a mother 4 years ago, she has specialized in giving tips on family travel. She chose to come to Curaçao with her family during the easing of the pandemic. Her content on her website and Instagram posts caused her followers to become enchanted with Curaçao. The hotels she has visited also confirm that they received guests who have been influenced by her content.

CTB is very pleased with the efforts and positive influence of these newly appointed ambassadors, and looks forward to continue to work with them for the years to come.

WILLEMSTAD- December 13, 2022 – Recently a total of 20 Dutch travel agents came to Curaçao to participate in the KLM Curaçao Marathon, and they combined this trip with an educational visit to explore the island. During their 5-day stay, the travel agents had the opportunity to inspect several hotels and resorts, visit our downtown area and the western side of the island where they were also able to enjoy our beautiful beaches. 

This year the choice was made to have the agents experience our culture and history while also concentrating on 2 themes, namely the luxury market and sustainability. The luxury market was chosen because several of the travel agencies that were on this trip sell packages specifically catered towards this segment of travelers. With regards to the sustainability theme, this is something that is very important, especially lately that sustainability is getting increasingly more attention from travelers. In light of this theme, the choice was made among others to have the travel agents walk instead of using transportation when the distance between their activities was short, tour around the capital city of Willemstad on electric scooters instead of using a tour bus, and eat at restaurants that offer healthy, locally produced food. In addition, the agents were able to see the different ways in which our neighborhoods, hotels, businesses and organizations are applying sustainable practices in their own environments. For instance, by using solar panels, watering plants with used water, offering tourists giveaways made from recycled material, and using fresh vegetables that were grown in a hotel’s own vegetable garden. 

The Curaçao Tourist Board is pleased to have been able to organize this educational trip for the 20 travel agents, together with KLM. The travel agencies that were part of this trip are The Travel Club, Exit Reizen, Reisburo Bilthoven, Travel XL de Kleermaeker, VCK Travel, TUI, Silverjet, Holiday Planners, Reisburo Schoenmaeckers, Reisbureau Schiebroek, D-Reizen and Mijn Reiskennis. Travel industry magazine, Travelpro was also part of the educational trip.

from three to five days a week

WILLEMSTAD – December 27, 2022 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) has announced that beginning on April 6, 2023 JetBlue will add two additional flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport, increasing the non-stop route from three days a week to five days. The additional service comes as a result of a steadily growing demand from the U.S. market as well as a longstanding and proven partnership with JetBlue and local stakeholders such as Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), Curaçao Airport Holding (CAH) and Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association (CHATA).

With the increased number of flights, roundtrip routes will be available on a Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday rotation. Flights will depart New York (JFK) at 8:00 a.m. and arrive in Curaçao at 1:25 p.m. with a return flight from Curaçao to JFK departing at 2:25 p.m. and landing at 6:29 p.m. “This is a very important achievement in order to continue to enhance our tourism industry in 2023 and consequently give an impulse to our economy. These additional flights will contribute towards growing the American market even more, after a great year in 2022”, according to the Minister of Economic Development, Ruisandro Cijntje.

In the last year, Curaçao has experienced increased demand out of the U.S. market, and the momentum continues with a 20% projected increase in American visitors from 2022 to 2023. This increase is in large part due to the openings of several new resorts, along with the rebranding and renovations of existing resorts across the island. The increase in development of several properties, backed by the world’s premier hospitality brands, has helped to make our island better known abroad, and the increased flight service of JetBlue will surely assist in complying with this demand.

2022 was a record-breaking year. As of October, total US arrivals exceeded our goals, achieving 122% of our target visitors out of the US market and we are confident this upcoming year will continue on that path. CTB is looking forward to welcome new visitors and to share with them the beauty of our island.
