Webinar: Aruba Travel, Explained

Aruba reopened for tourism earlier this summer.

Now, after several months back open, more and more travelers are making their way back to the Dutch Caribbean island.

But in the age of COVID-19, that means more and more travelers also need to be educated on Aruba’s travel protocols — and what the experience is actually like on-island.

So we’re here to help.

Caribbean Journal, in partnership with Marriott International, has gathered a team of Aruba travel leaders to explain how to travel to Aruba right now.

The panel will include:

Dale McKinney, Regional Manager, Caribbean at Delta Air Lines
Rafael Lopez-Aliaga, Executive Chef, The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba
Carolina Voullieme, Director of Sales and Marketing, Aruba Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino
Tisa LaSorte, President and CEO, Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association

Saint Lucia’s Marigot Bay Resort Just Reopened

One of the leading resorts in Saint Lucia is open again, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Marigot Bay Resort, Spa and Marina began welcoming guests again this week. 

The property, whose signature marina reopened earlier this summer, has launched a new health and safety program called Six Star CARE Promise, which it’s calling the “foundation of future travel to Saint Lucia by land and bay sea.”

The 57-residence property is set on what has long been considered one of the region’s most beautiful bays. 

It’s also unveiled a new service called Marigot Moment Maestros, a butler-like service the property calls “beyond the traditional concierge” that is available to everyone.
