Recognition for Three Visitors as Bonaire Ambassadors
January 6, 2025
Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) concluded the month of December by recognizing three visitors as Bonaire Ambassadors. Among them is David Morgan from the United States, who received a certificate for 42 years of visiting Bonaire.
David is no stranger to Bonaire. He is a diving instructor who, in the past, has contributed to Bonaire’s underwater world alongside Mr. Morey Ruza and the late Captain Don Stewart. David was honored as an ambassador in the Platinum category.
Cees and Marleen van Dam from the Netherlands were surprised by their son, who nominated them for this recognition because they have been visiting Bonaire for 22 years. On this occasion, they received a gold pin.
Notably, in 2024, the TCB recognized 81 visitors as Bonaire Ambassadors. Many of these individuals are long-time, frequent visitors to the island.
Helen Mercera-Thode conducted the recognition ceremony and presented the certificates and corresponding pins to the ambassadors.
