Aruba Tourism Authority honored loyal visitors at the RIU Palace

PALM BEACH - Recently, Aruba Tourism Author-
ity representative Ms. Kimberley Richardson had the
great pleasure in honoring many loyal Aruba visitors
with their distinctive certificates. These certificates are
a way to say “Masha Danki” for continuously choos-
ing Aruba as a favorite vacation destination. The titles
are as following: 10+ years “Distinguished Visitor”, 20+
years “Goodwill Ambassador” and 36+ years “Emerald
Ambassador”.

The honorees was Mrs. Tina Klemm from New York,
United States who was honored as an Emerald Ambas-
sador.

This symbolic honorary title is presented on behalf of
the Minister of Tourism as a token of appreciation to
the guests who visit Aruba between the 10-20-35 and
more consecutive year mark.

The greatest award we provide is the Emerald Ambas-
sador certificate, which is granted to travelers who
have visited Aruba continuously for 35 years or more.
The ceremony was significant to us because it was a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate guests who
had been coming to Aruba for more than 35 years.
Mrs. Klemm has been coming to Aruba for 50 years
consecutively! The first time she visited Aruba was back
in 1973.

The top reasons for returning to Aruba for Mrs. Tina Kl-
emm were the quality time she gets to spend with her
friends and family, Aruba’s nice sandy beaches and
picturesque sunsets, Aruba’s warm & friendly people,
Aruba’s year-round sunny weather and Aruba’s deli-
cious variety of foods.

Ms. Kimberley Richardson representing the Aruba
Tourism Authority, and members of the RIU Palace
bestowed the honor certification to the honoree, pre-
sented her with gifts, and also thanked her for choos-
ing Aruba as her favorite vacation destination and as
her home-away-from-home.q
