This year, the Curaçao Hotel and Tourism Association, (CHATA), marks their 50th anniversary since its inception. Originally the association was formed to provide a collective board that would make a unified effort in the promotion of Curaçao as a premium hospitality and tourism product. To this day, the CHATA has become a resource for insight and expertise in the field through its collaborative partnerships with stakeholders in the hotel industry. One of CHATA’s key priorities for this year is to facilitate the cooperative efforts that are made in conjunction with the Curaçao Tourist Board, (CTB), in their new Tourism Master Plan.
