Eight visitors recognized as Bonaire Ambassadors in September

Tourism Corporation Bonaire’s (TCB) “Bonaire Ambassador Program” continues to grow, particularly among our visitors. This was evident once again in September, when eight guests were honored as Bonaire Ambassadors. Among these eight visitors were several who were receiving this recognition for the first time.

In the bronze category, we honored David Lawrence from the United States, who has been visiting Bonaire for 10 years. We asked David what makes Bonaire so special to him, and he replied: “The beautiful diving spots the island has to offer and the friends I have made during the 10 years I’ve been visiting Bonaire.”

Fred and Denise Starner have been visiting Bonaire for 16 years and were pleasantly surprised to receive recognition at the Van der Valk Plaza Resort. On this occasion, they were presented with a silver pin.

Martin and Jenniffer Turley were also honored for their 23 years of visiting our island. They received a gold pin from Ms. Valerie Trinidad of Habitat Bonaire.

The diving group “Eels on Wheels” visits Bonaire every year. Several of their members also received recognition: Tamara Koleng, who has been visiting Bonaire for 11 years; Jill Crocker, for 25 years; and Tammie Shelton, for 26 years. We presented them with bronze and gold pins corresponding to the number of years they have been visiting our island.
