The Aruba Tourism Authority (A.T.A.) recently had the great pleasure of recognizing Distinguished Visitors as well as Emerald Ambassadors of Aruba. These loyal visitors were respectively honored with a certificate for their years of visits, loyalty, and love for the island of Aruba.
The honorary certification is presented on behalf of the Minister of Tourism as a token of appreciation to guests who have visited Aruba for 10, 20, or 35 years or more consecutively.
The three levels of honor are as follows:
-Distinguished Visitor (10>years consecutively visiting Aruba)

The Emerald Ambassador honorees are Ms. Linda Montecchi & Ms. Diane Schmitt from Saddle Brook New Jersey and the Distinguished Visitor honorees are Mr. Guido & Mrs. Gail Coppola from Waltham Massachusetts and Mr. Jason & Angela Lawrence from Taunton Massachusetts.
Ms. Marouska Heyliger representing the Aruba Tourism Authority bestowed the certificates upon the honorees, presented them with gifts, and thanked them for choosing Aruba as their favorite vacation destination, as their home away from home.
The top reasons for returning to Aruba provided by the honorees were Aruba’s people, beaches, warm weather, restaurants, and safety. Some also mentioned that “It`s super easy to travel to Aruba” as we are only a short flight away. Lastly, another reason that was mentioned is that Aruba’s out of the hurricane belt.
A.T.A. would like to express its sincerest gratitude and appreciation to the honorees for their continued visits to this “One Happy Island”.
