"Aruba: A cosmopolitan Feria di Misa Fatima a tuma lugar

pearl" by Amoriza Gunnink

Sparkling and refreshing
turquoise water, bleach-
white sandy beaches,
enveloping sun and breeze
flowing in tandem over an
arid and rugged landscape,
such is the paradoxical
beauty and magic of this
magnificent island. Aruba,
the pearl of the Caribbean,
is a world famous tourist
destination. Its opened
doors and hospitable gift
to world travelers has
transformed its socio-cultural milieu into a colourful and
diverse tapestry of converging global influences fused
with its own ethnic heritage. Aruba’s cosmopolitan and
convivial ethos readily affirms cross-cultural encounters
and dialogism and a reciprocity of ethics and care enacted
through tourism and trade. For the Aruban people, its
local knowledge becomes an expansive manifest of
intercontinental epistemology, positioning them in good
stead for the development of cultural flexibility, linguistic
competence and global citizenship. Crafted economic
development and social policies have secured the island and
its people’s independence and a solid upward trajectory on
the world’s stage. In relative contrast to its size, the grandeur
of this island, that many locals and visitors alike call home,
lies not only in its beautiful beaches, congenial hospitality
and worldwide ascription as a tourist destination, but in its
cosmopolitanism, comprehensive global worldview and
cultural diversity. This cosmopolitan pearl is my island, my
pride. I welcome you to make it yours.

About the author: A successful entrepreneur, international
educator, humanitarian project coordinator and world-
traveler, Amoriza Gunnink is a proud Aruban currently
residing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
