Aruba Tourism Authority Honors Special Island Guests!

EAGLE BEACH - Recently
the Aruba Tourism Authority
had the great pleasure of
honoring a special group
of island guests who are
loyal and friendly visitors of
Aruba as Distinguished Visi-
tors and Goodwill Ambas-
sadors at the Costa Linda
Beach Resort. The symbolic
honorary titles are present-
ed in the name of the Min-
ister of Tourism as a token
of appreciation to guests
who visit Aruba for 10-to-19
and 20-to-34 consecutive
years.
The honorees were Mr. Wil-
liam and Mrs. Brenda Long-
brake, Ms. Brittany Long-
brake, Mr. James and Mrs.
Linda Heimann, Mr. Alan
D. and Mrs. Bethany Tyr-
rell, Mr. Alan Tyrrell Jr., Ms.
Jessica Cruikshank and Ms.
Amanda Striegle.
Mrs. Heimann tells us, “We
have been coming to
Aruba for over 20 years.
We love the island for its
beautiful beaches, wa-
ter, weather and friendly
people. We consider it our
home away from home.
We started out with one
week at our timeshare,
Costa Linda and now own
two weeks. We are current-
ly thinking about buying a
third week.”
“Every time we come to
Aruba, we are very sad to
have to leave because we
enjoy being here so much.
My husband wants to be-
come more involved and
is now running for a posi-
tion on the Board of Costa
Linda,” she continues.
“We have brought many
people with us when we
have come to Aruba and
they too have loved ev-
ery minute that they were
here.
