Hotel accommodation will be expanded

Minister Stanley Palm of Economic Development and Tourism told the US magazine Travel Weekly that in the next five years, Curaçao will expand its hotel accommodations by 1,500 additional rooms. There are several new hotel projects in the pipeline, including the construction of a Marriott Courtyard hotel. Curaçao currently has 5,500 hotel rooms, of which half are spacious apartments. Now that JetBlue started two weekly non-stop flights out of JFK Airport in New York and Air Canada expanded its services out of Montreal, it is expected that the number of visitors from North America will increase.
