Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) and Grand Windsock Bonaire represented Bonaire for the second year at the Vakantie Expo (Holiday Fair) held in Antwerp, Belgium, from January 24th to 26th, 2025.
Annette Emerenciana – Marketing PR & Project Coordinator at TCB; Jaedan Crestian – Bonairean Ambassador and student; and Sander Winterberg – General Manager of Grand Windsock Bonaire, participated at the expo. More than 150 exhibitors from around the world participated at this year’s Vakantie Expo, attracting more or less than 20,000 visitors. At the Bonaire booth, visitors had the opportunity to become acquainted with the island and its distinctive charms, its tourism product and tasted the island’s spirit with samples of Cadushy Liquor. Moreover, Grand Windsock Bonaire proudly showcased its new beach club and presented attractive holiday packages.
Bonaire’s participation at the Vakantie Expo and other trade events in Europe is part of a wider marketing strategy. The strategy aims to increase awareness and position Bonaire within the markets to ultimately welcome more visitors from key markets, including Belgium, to the island of Bonaire. The Bonaire Representatives engaged in constructive discussions with various tour operators, to include Bonaire in their holiday offerings.
TCB extends its gratitude to Grand Windsock Bonaire for participating in the Vakantie Expo in Antwerp and looks forward to continuing its efforts to promote the island to key European markets.
