Colombia, Curaçao, and the Dominican Republic aimed to
present a unique cruise itinerary concentrated on market
segments that have an affinity towards Latin influences.
This destination and port promotion cooperation between
Aruba, Colombia, Curaçao, and the Dominican Republic
focuses on the Southern Caribbean ports of Cartagena,
Oranjestad, Sancouci, and Willemstad. These destinations
are unique for their Latin zest, cultural diversity, ethnic
heritage, historic architecture, harmonious rhythms, arts
and handiworks, brand shopping experience, culinary
pleasures, natural Caribbean delights, and unsurpassed
hospitality.
The team comprised of Aruba Tamara Waldron – Aruba
Ports Authority + Mario Arends – Aruba Tourism Authority;
Colombia- Maria Abuabara – ProColombia USA + Liliana
Rodriquez – Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena;
Curaçao- Dimitri Cloose - Curaçao Ports Authority +
Angelo Harms - Curacao Tourism Board; and Dominican
Republic- Sharon Mei - Port of Sancouci + Orfila
Salazar - Ministerio de Turismo Republica Dominicana
will secure tailor-made proposals for all cruise lines that
are departing from Sansouci (Dominican Republic),
Cartagena or any other destination will be available.
This will entail a unique and diverse itinerary linked
to an incentive package and promotional agreement
based on each distinctive wish.
The SABOR LATINO-Joint Cruise Alliance is a proactive
approach which will be directly involved in the process
from planning to implementation.
