CHATA’s Product Update: What happened in Q4 2017


Curaçao is bustling with new developments

Willemstad, February 2018– Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. It is imperative for a business operating in the tourism industry to regularly develop new services or products which create additional value to the customer. CHATA’s first Product Update of 2018 can give you a complete overview of some CHATA members who have already said that the only way is up in 2018! Meaning that this small island is overflowing with opportunities and potential that can be used for elevating our tourism.

CHATA members saw and immediately grabbed the opportunity for updating their services and enhance the experience of their guest. Whether it is by adding new facilities or renovating their current ones. For example, the new trendy coffee bar & souvenir shop at Kontiki Beach Resort and the renovated luxurious bathroom in of the villas of Baoase Luxury Resort. Others saw the increasing demand to incorporate technology in their service offering and made sure to use it to their advantage. Blue Bay Golf is very proud of being able to provide full radar and video analysis with fully automated technology. Oasis Coral Estate Beach Dive & Wellness Resort and Livingstone Janthiel Resorts also made major investments in the renovation and expansion of their rooms.

Besides updated services and expansions, 2018 has also started with a couple of brand new products. City Beach 88 is Curacao’s first city beach located in the Pietermaai District. CHATA is also very proud to announce the launching of the new Dine Around Plan. A state of the art meal plan, in collaboration with Fortress Interactive. The Dine Around Plan provides tourists the opportunity to uncover and savor Curacao’s culinary delights by pre-purchasing various dinner packages prior to visiting the island.  With the  purchased Dine Around Plan the user can enjoy a 3-course meal together with friends and family at different local restaurants around the island.

And what better way to open the year than with a triumph. Two CHATA Members have been awarded the Couple Choice Award of WeddingWire.
