WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao – August 17, 2010 – ‘Tis the season! To be traveling, that is. In an effort to continue to bolster Curaçao’s presence on North America’s travel radar, the island is celebrating the start of “Travel Agent Appreciation Season” with unbeatable airfare and hotel deals.

Having trusted travel experts endorse our tourism product to potential visitors, is crucial to our growth from North America, especially in these tough economic times.”
