During the mid-eighties, after the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar and the departure of the Shell Oil Company, Curaçao was in crisis and the Curaçao Lions Club was struggling with the question of how they, as a service club, could contribute positively to the island economy.

The Curaçao Lions Club started to develop a plan that focused on tourism whereby the natural economic benefits would stimulate the community through employment.  In 1986, the vision of Jacques Marin ‘Koki’ van Eps, a member of the Curaçao Lions Club, became a reality when construction of the Lions Dive Hotel and Marina in the Bapor Kibra district of Curaçao began.  The building of the original 72 room hotel took 2 years to complete and officially opened in May of 1989 with a focus on the recreational scuba diving market due to its proximity to the incredible house reef now known as the Stella Maris.     

In 2005, the Vogels Family and their team of employees expanded the hotel from 72 to 102 rooms and added six 2-bedroom suites.  In October 2008, LionsDive further strengthened the hotel’s sporty image with the arrival of a 50-meter training pool at the new Lions apartments and suites.  This expansion certainly became a crowning achievement of the Vogels family, elevating the hotel to a 4 Star plus status.

LionsDive Beach Resort Curaçao was originally founded on the principles “for the community, to benefit the community with a mission to stimulate the island’s economy, create employment and to give back to those in the community who need it most.” Says Will Vogels.

From the very beginning in 1989, the LionsDive Beach Resort has always offered accommodations that embrace the philosophy “the natural place to stay”, and to date, strives for the highest standards in sustainability ventures that is underlined in their “Green Mission” by employing fixed measures such as water conservation, energy savings, and waste control (including recycling and wastewater). 

They also value members of our local community in their recruitment policy that is geared towards employing as many local workers as possible and providing them with education and training to launch great careers in the hospitality industry. The resort also supports various projects for local schools, athletes, animal rescue and nature conservation organizations such as Coral Restoration Curaçao. These sustainable tourism initiatives are carried out wherever possible and they encourage their guests to discover the island to support local businesses.

From 2016, LionsDive Beach Resort has supported the Greenkidz project, that encourages local schoolchildren, ages 9 to 12, to take care of the environment and also to take responsibility for their home and school environments, as they actively contribute to a greener, cleaner and healthier Curaçao from a young age.

Today, LionsDive Beach Resort can only be described as the ideal place in the Caribbean where you can combine sports, wellness and relaxation during your Curaçao vacation.  With options that range from the 50 meter sports pool, a fully equipped gym, the calm and shaded sandy beach or exploring the incredible underwater world with Ocean Encounters, the on-site Dive Operator, LionsDive Beach Resort is perfect for everyone. 

But, the ideal vacation would not be complete if you cannot indulge yourself in delicious culinary delights and happy hours during incredible sunsets right? At LionsDive, breakfast, lunch or dinner is available at the casual Hemingway Beach Bar and Restaurant, as you dine with your feet in the sand. Or you can enjoy Italian cuisine at Piazza by the 50 meter sports pool or you can spoil yourself with an elegant evening at the highly-acclaimed Nemo Restaurant.  However, to experience the ultimate beach vibe, you really need to find your way down to the Chill Beach Bar & Grill, that is vastly recommended for delicious BBQ dishes and cold drinks to top off a wonderful sun-splashed day on the beach. There you can meet friendly locals on the weekends, enjoy live music and of course, the famous local “happy hours”.         

“The original vision of “Koki” was perfect and we are proud to continue to strengthen his vision for the economy of Curaçao because the tourist industry has become increasingly more signifigant for the prosperity and well-being of our island.” Says Will.

Looking back at what has been achieved, Katja Vogels went on to say with great satisfaction, “The concept of LionsDive Beach Resort is now very solid. I think we are now almost at the point where we want to be in terms of size, our warm friendly Caribbean hospitality, and the amazing service that is our #1 priority. But, it is important that we keep refining the quality of our product and never take anything for granted.  The best compliments are when our guests tell us that it is even more beautiful here than in the pictures and that is the best proof that we are on the right track. The future with all its challenges is looking bright for LionsDive Beach Resort.”

Bridgetown Barbados, June 3, 2020 — Despite bleak forecasts for the tourist sector hard-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, a regional bank is committed to the sector and “will continue to be active” in supporting the Caribbean tourism industry.

Speaking recently during a webinar entitled, “Covid-19 and Investment in Caribbean Infrastructure”, Adam Carter, Managing Director and Head, Investment Banking at CIBC FirstCaribbean said the hospitality and hotel industry accounted for “a large part of our portfolio and we will continue to be active in it”.

He said tourism was the “lifeblood of the Caribbean” and the bank would continue to focus on it, putting “time, effort and capital into the sector. That is not changing”. Mr. Carter said the bank has had “lots of requests for support and we are helping our clients through this storm”.

Mr. Carter said there was a need to improve some of the region’s tourism infrastructure and this could be achieved through Public/Private Partnerships. He added that the region must “do all to improve its marketability so that when borders do re-open we are one of the first destinations visitors will want to come to”.

Fellow panelist S. Brian Samuel, Head, Public-Private Partnerships, Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), had earlier warned that there may not be a quick rebound in regional tourism, neither long-stay or cruise arrivals. He further cautioned that the region needed to “adjust our tourism away from the mass market” as post-covid-19 may see less tourist arrivals.

He said the region was likely to see more high-end visitors as the cost of travel was expected to rise significantly as the world economy was expected to slip into a recession worse than the 2008/09 one.

Diane Edwards, President, JAMPRO agreed with Samuels noting that the high-end part of the tourism market will continue and the “challenge for hotels will be what protocols will be put in place to ensure their safety”.

The panelist also noted that the region should continue its push toward major investment in renewable energy as well as building up healthcare infrastructure in the region.

The latter point was stressed by Stephen C. Beatty, Global Chairman, Infrastructure, and Chairman, Global Cities Center of Excellence at KPMG. He noted that the region now has a “huge opportunity to transform how healthcare is delivered” by moving away from investing in building traditional hospitals and investing significantly in telemedicine and the technology to deliver it efficiently.

The webinar was moderated by Jon Whiteaker, Editor, IJGlobal.

Sinds het coronavirus lijkt het alsof dit de mooiste zomer is in jaren. Mijn moeder belt bijna dagelijks om mij te verzoeken binnen te blijven, want zij is bang dat haar kinderen het virus oplopen. Andersom werkt mijn moeder in de zorg en vraag ik haar dagelijks of zij te maken heeft gehad met besmettingen en dat zij extra voorzichtig moet zijn. Mijn moeder zegt dan zolang zij iemand anders kan helpen dan zal zij zonder aarzelen haar deur uitgaan. Dat geeft direct de band aan die ik met mijn moeder heb. Wij kunnen niet zonder elkaar en liefde en respect zijn key.
Vol verbijstering heb ik afgelopen week gekeken naar hoe er in Nederland met twee maten wordt gemeten. De afgelopen maanden was er alleen maar lofzang voor onze zorgmedewerkers en complimenten voor de saamhorigheid in dit coronatijdperk. Ik heb artikelen gelezen over eenzame ouderen die een online buddy kregen toegewezen, medewerkers die hun levens riskeerden voor de geïnfecteerde patiënten en ik kan daar alleen maar respect voor hebben. Het gevoel van saamhorigheid lijkt sinds de protesten op de Dam te zijn vergeten. Zo kopte de Telegraaf met de titel ’Dam-betoging minachting RIVM-regels’. Het Algemeen Dagblad schreef ‘Massademonstratie wekt woede: ‘Dit is klap in gezicht’’.
Regels zijn regels, begrijp me niet verkeerd, maar toen we met z’n allen in coronatijd in Brabant aan het carnavallen waren zonder een specifiek doel behalve amusement waren we minder bezorgd over het verspreiden van de virus. Of toen FC Utrecht-fan Sam dit weekend werd herdacht door honderden fans waar de 1,5 meter nauwelijks tot niet werd opgevolgd. Sterker nog: met vuur, applaus en een stoet aan scooters stond niemand stil bij het besmettingsgevaar of corona. Het ene mooie artikel volgde het andere op en zo schreef het AD ‘Honderden scooteraars herdenken Nieuwegeiner Sam (18) die een botsing met een sneltram niet overleefde’.
Over de betoging op de Dam zei Epidemioloog Patricia Bruijning van het UMC Utrecht tegen RTL Nieuws: “Het was in de buitenlucht, er stond een bries, en veel mensen droegen mondkapjes. Dat maakt dat het risico op verspreiding kleiner wordt.” In Utrecht droegen mensen geen mondkapjes en kwamen in massa’s bij elkaar (zie foto), toch haalde dit niet de media of de Kamer zoals het protest in Amsterdam. Blijkbaar is er een code of afspraak waardoor er keuzes gemaakt worden en die onderscheid maakt tussen wat wel en niet kan, wanneer de essentie hetzelfde is. Er is over het protest geschreven dus het is opgevallen. Is de dood van Amerikaan George Floyd minder relevant dan die van de Nederlandse Sam dat er met twee maten wordt gemeten. Berichtgeving omtrent beide onderwerpen is in ieder geval een bewuste keuze, waardoor begrippen zoals white privilege en framing de eersten zijn waaraan ik moet denken. De media in Nederland heeft in ieder geval bijgedragen aan het stigmatiseren van bevolkingsgroepen. Het is de plicht van de media om naar eer en geweten de waarheid met de lezer te delen. Maar als er bewust wordt gekozen om hetzelfde nieuws op een ander manier te delen dan worden bepaalde vooroordelen in stand gehouden.
Waar blijft het geluid in de media van degene om wie het gaat? Nourdin El Ouali zei gisteren bij MAX we moeten “ze” niet buiten de samenleving plaatsen: dit ís de samenleving. Zolang de media in Nederland niet op hun verantwoordelijkheid wordt aangesproken en de redactie bijna volledig wit is, zal de stem van alle Nederlanders niet gehoord worden. Dit geldt overigens voor alle lagen in de top van onze samenleving. Laten wij vooral niet vergeten waarom iedereen in Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Arnhem, Nijmegen en

Tilburg bij elkaar kwamen. Het is zonde, want George Floyd verdient het respect dat de wereld bij elkaar komt om het probleem te bespreken en in opstand komt tegen het wereldwijde institutioneel racismeprobleem. Een agent drukte negen minuten lang met zijn knie de nek van George tegen de grond, zijn handen nonchalant in zijn broekzak – terwijl George smeekte om hulp, riep om zijn moeder en keer op keer aangaf niet te kunnen ademen. Zo zijn er nog talloze vergelijkbare gevallen, die helaas hun onschuld met de dood hebben moeten bekopen. Niet alleen in Amerika, maar ook in Nederland zoals Mitch Henriquez die in 2015 in Den Haag door een nekklem van een agent om het leven kwam.
Als onze mediakanalen ervoor kiezen meer aandacht te geven en te schrijven over de rellen, opmerking van Akwasi en het niet afstand houden dan over het institutionele racismeprobleem en de oorzaak van de protesten, dan falen we als land. Er is nooit een goed moment om te protesteren en die zal er nooit komen, maar het is belangrijk om een tegengeluid te laten horen. Belangrijk om nieuws wél vanuit beide kanten te belichten en inclusief te zijn. Het is tijd voor ander nieuws.

WILLEMSTAD- June 14, 2020 – In preparation for the gradual reopening of our borders, the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health, the Environment and Nature (GMN), the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO), the Curaçao Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) and the private sector are all working on the implementation of a new set of protocols for the hospitality industry. With these protocols, the industry will be ready to apply the hygiene practices, enhanced sanitation procedures and physical distancing laid down by the public-health authorities. At the same time, this information will come in handy to our partners abroad who sell our destination. This set of protocols will be branded “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way.” With “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way”, the CTB wishes to convey that Curaçao is virtually COVID-Free and is a destination offering visitors a safe, healthy and pleasant stay, while ensuring that visitors and workers in the industry alike adhere to the protocols that come with the new normal.

The health of our visitors, workers in the industry and the local population remains paramount as we strive to reopen our borders very soon. The hospitality-industry protocols will include instructions on communication with personnel, as well as with tourists before and after their arrival, during their stay, around and after their return to their home country. They also cover personnel training, measures to prevent the spread of infections, physical distancing, hygiene and sanitation guidelines, and the procedures to be followed if someone is showing COVID-19 symptoms.

To assure that the industry is well-informed on the content of these protocols, the CTB, in close collaboration with GMN and the private sector will be providing ‘information sessions’ for the hospitality sector, specifically for businesses in the accommodation, restaurant, attractions, public transportation and watersports industries. The Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association (CHATA) will take care of communicating the “A Dushi Stay, the Healthy Way” protocols to their members.

For travel agents abroad and the island’s future visitors, the CTB has prepared a digital welcome card and a video with a clear and easy breakdown of the arrangements that our destination has put in place to start receiving visitors once again.

Like many other countries around the globe, Curaçao has been affected by COVID-19. The developments in connection with this pandemic brought our tourism industry to a full stop. With the responsible and gradual reopening of our borders, Curaçao will begin to receive tourists once more. The CTB will continue monitoring all developments and remain in consultation with the relevant and competent authorities in order to be able to share all relevant information across our target markets. We have left the old normal behind. Together, we are about to embark on the road to the new normal.
