PALM BEACH - Recently the Aruba Tour-
ism Authority had the great pleasure
of honoring a very nice family who are
loyal and friendly visitors of Aruba at the
Marriott Ocean Club as Distinguished

The symbolic honorary title is presented
in the name of the Minister of Tourism
as a token of appreciation to guests
who visit Aruba for 10-to-19 consecutive
years. The honorees were Mr. Christo-
pher and Mrs. Christine Collins and their
sons Michael and Stephen.
The Collins family are regular guests
at the Marriott Ocean Club and they
love Aruba very much because of the
friendly people, the climate, the friends
they have made here over the years,
the beaches and the restaurants. They
say Aruba feels like a second home,
and the people are like a family to
them. The certificates were presented
by Ms. Emely Ridderstaat representing
