Loyal visitors bring the whole family to Aruba

PALM BEACH — Recently, Kimberley Richardson of the
Aruba Tourism Authority had the great pleasure to honor
Aruba’s loyal and friendly visitors as Goodwill Ambassa-
dors and Emerald Ambassadors of Aruba. The Goodwill
Ambassador certificate is presented to guests who visit
Aruba 20 years and more consecutively. The Emerald
Ambassador certificate is presented to guests who visit
Aruba 35 years and more consecutively.

The honorees were couple Stephen & Marsha Gordon as
Goodwill Ambassadors of Aruba, together with couple El-
liot & Susan Neser as Emerald Ambassadors of Aruba.
The Emerald Ambassador certificate is the highest cer-
tificate that we present, and is given to visitors who have
been visiting Aruba 35 years or more consecutively. It is
incredibly beautiful to see that Aruba has so many loyal
visitors, and we hope to see them for many more years
to come.

These wonderful people stated that they love the island
very much, especially for its year-round sunny weather,
nice sandy beaches and picturesque sunsets, delicious
variety of foods, its safety and Aruba’s warm and friendly
people who became like family to them. These honorees
not only fell in-love with the island, but also brought fam-
ily, grandchildren, friends, and neighbors to Aruba.

Kimberley Richardson, together with general manager
of Marriot Aruba Surf Club Joop Bangma, and hotel rep-
resentative Jenny Boekhoudt, presented the certificates
to the honorees, handed over some presents and also
thanked them for choosing Aruba as their favorite vaca-
tion destination and as their home-away-from-home.q
