Aruba Tourism Authority ta anuncia resultadonan pa juni 2012

Posted on 12 July 2012 by admin

ORANJESTAD – Aruba Tourism Authority ta contento di por informa cu luna di juni 2012 a mustra un crecemento di 7.5% den cantidad di bishitante compara cu juni 2011. Na juni 2011 Aruba a ricibi 67,999 bishitante, mientras cu na juni 2012 a ricibi 73,073.

Esaki den cifranan absoluto ta un diferencia di 5074 mas bishitante na 2012 compara cu 2011, pa luna di juni. Aruba su tres mercadonan di mas grandi a crece den luna di juni cual ta Merca, Hulanda y Venezuela.

Norte America

Bishitante crucero a crece cu 25.8% na april 2012 compara cu april 2011

Recientemente Banco Central a publica cifranan pa luna di april 2012, unda cu a mustra cu e cantidad di pasahero for di barconan crucero a crece cu 25.8% compara cu luna di april di aña 2011, cu ta representa 69.852 bishitante di barconan crucero pa aña 2012.

E cantidad di barconan cu a bishita Aruba pa luna di april 2012 tambe a subi levemente cu 3 barco mas hopi cu april di aña 2011; di 30 barco na april 2011 te cu 33 barco na april 2012.

Cifranan di Banco Central pa turismo crucero ta refleha e maneho y perseverancia di Minister di Turismo, Transporte y Labor, Otmar Oduber kende constantemente ta treciendo su visionnan inovativo dilanti pa sigui engrandece turismo y turismo crucero

For di e mercado di Norte America, cual ta nos mercado principal, Aruba a conoce un crecemento di 5.3%. E mercado di Merca a crece cu 4.1% cual ta representa 1778 bishitante mas cu juni 2012. Esaki ta un crecemento significativo y un di e motibonan cu lo por a contribui na esaki ta cu mericano nan a dicidi di biaha den volumen mas grandi e weekend di 30 di juni, mirando cu e siman ey, “4th of July Holiday”, lo a brinda e empuhe pa probecha y pega un vacacion durante e siman aki. Esaki ta un posibel conclusion mirando cu mericanonan a biaha mastanto cu aña pasa durante di e ultimo 4 dianan di juni 2012. E hecho cu juni di 2012 tin un diasabra mas compara cu esun di 2011 sigur a hasi un gran impacto riba nos cantidad di bishitantenan tambe for di e mercado aki – y tur otro mercado porsierto. E mercado di Canada tambe a crece den luna di juni cu 42.94% compara cu juni 2011. Esaki debi na e buelonan adicional for di Toronto cu Wesjet.

Europa

E mercado di Europa tambe a produci hopi bon den luna di juni y a crece cu 2.7% lidera pa e mercado di Inglatera cu a crece cu 26.8% cu ta significa 517 mas bishitante. E mercado di Hulanda tambe a bai dilanti cu 0.5% mientras cu Alemania a cai cu 21.2% y paisnan Scandinavia a cai cu 10% compara cu juni 2011. Hopi di e fluctuacionnan aki ta debi na “seizoen” histórico di biaha cu ta aplicabel pa diferente di e mercadonan aki.

Latino America

E mercado di Latino America a crece cu 14.9% compara cu juni 2011. Pa juni e mercado a crece lidera pa Argentina cu a crece cu 60.5% compara cu juni 2011 cu ta igual na 356 bishitante mas. Sigui pa e mercado di Venezuela cu ta sigui produci hopi bon y cu a conoce un crecemento di 25.6% mas bishitante cu na 2011. Den number absoluto esaki ta igual na 1841 mas bishitante. E mercado di Brazil a cai cu 1.9% compara cu juni di 2011 y Colombia cu 4.3%. Tambe ta importante pa menciona cu e capacidad di stul ta limita, cual ta significa cu na momento cu Argentina crece esaki lo influencia e stulnan disponibel di Colombia y Brazil. Ta trahando duro pa bin cu un solución na e reto aki cu posibel buelonan adicional.

Aruba a ricibi den e temporada di januari pa juni 2012 un total di 442,790 bishitante cu ta representa un crecemento di 2.2% di januari pa juli 2011, compara cu e mesun periodo aña pasa na unda un cantidad di 433,172 bishitante a bishita nos isla.

Un indicacion di calidad di turista cu Aruba ta atrae ta door di midi e prijs cu e turista ta paga pa cada camber pa persona, e “Average Daily Rate” (ADR). Hopi importante ta e combinacion di por mantene un ocupacion halto sin mester di afecta prijsnan di camber. Esaki ta significa cu REVPAR ta e indicador di mas importante na unda cu prijs ta un di e elementonan significativo. Segun AHATA pa luna di juni ADR a subi cu 4.6% di $157.53 na juni 2011 pa $164.81 na juni 2012. E ocupacion di hotelnan a subi cu 3.8% den e luna aki di 67.7% na 2011 pa 71.5% na 2012. E ganashi pa camber, e “Revenue per Available Room” (REVPAR) a subi cu 10.5% di $106.65 na juni 2011 pa $117.85 na juni 2012.

ATA ta orguyoso di e resultadonan aki, cu ta resultado nan di entre otro tur e esfuersonan cu ta wordo hasi localmente y den cada mercado. Esfuersonan ta dirigi continuamente riba hisa e calidad di e bishitante tambe, teniendo na cuenta cu e vision no ta dirigi riba sigui hisa cantidad di bishitante so, pero hopi importante, riba hisa e calidad di locual turismo ta laga atras pa nos isla. E visión ta basa riba un limite pa loke ta trata expansion den cantidad di cambernan, cu lo tin como consecuencia cu asina cu yega e punto di ocupacion optimal di acomodacionan aki na Aruba den tur luna, e isla no lo por crece na e mesun manera den cantidad mas. E crecemento na e momento ey lo mester ta den calidad pa asina por sigui ricibi mas ingreso pa medio di nos industria turistico pa e isla. Esaki ta parti di un di e visionnan pa cu turismo di Aruba.

Retonan lo tin sigur pa e aña aki especialmente pa e mercado di Merca, cu a conoce un crecemento fuerte den juni si. ATA conhuntamente cu partnersnan ta trahando duro pa combati “softness” cu lo por presenta den diferente mercadonan. Presupuesto adicional a wordo aloca pa asina boost unda ta necesario e aña aki. Ta contento cu ta mira resultadonan sumamente fuerte, den forma di un crecemento di 7.5% den juni, cu ta un luna cu mester empuhe.

Starwood lanza política para casos de interrupción de viajes por tormentas tropicales en el Caribe

Posted on 26 May 2012 by admin

Starwood Hotels and Resorts presentó al mercado su política para casos de interrupción de viajes en el Caribe durante 2012, donde los expertos predicen, a partir de 1 de junio, una temporada ciclónica “más lenta” que en años anteriores.

“Aunque los expertos esperan una temporada más lenta que en años pasados, Starwood quiere que sus clientes comprendan que nuestra política de cancelaciones asegura una vacación sin riesgos para nuestros huéspedes en hoteles y resorts del Caribe”, dijo Jim Curtis, director de Ventas y Marketing de Starwood para la región.

En caso de una tormenta que clasifique en el récord de los centros meteorológicos (validada por el National Hurricane Center), los hoteles y resorts de Starwood en el Caribe reemplazarán el balance de las vacaciones de los huéspedes afectados por la duración de su reservación, anunció el ejecutivo.

Adicionalmente, los clientes hospedados no serán penalizados por partida temprana en caso de tormenta, y cualquier porción del depósito no consumida será devuelta.

Todos los reemplazos de vacaciones en hoteles y resorts de Starwood deben ser redimidos en el plazo de un año, y las reservaciones, en establecimientos similares al que visitaban los clientes durante la cancelación, se harán en dependencia del espacio disponible.

Aquellos huéspedes con reservación confirmada que no puedan viajar al destino debido a cierres de aeropuertos o de hoteles de Starwood en el Caribe, tendrán la opción de un reembolso total o la estancia en una habitación de más alta categoría en su próxima visita dentro del plazo de un año. La garantía ofrecida por Starwood se basa en la disponibilidad.

Los hoteles de Starwood Hotels and Resorts que participan de este programa en el Caribe son The Westin St John Resort and Villas, en Islas Vírgenes de Estados Unidos; The Westin Resort and Casino, Aruba, y Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort & Casino, Bahamas, así como el Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, el W Retreat & Spa-Vieques Island, el St Regis Bahia Beach Resort, el Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel & Casino y el Four Points By Sheraton Caguas Real Hotel & Casino, estos últimos en Puerto Rico.

“Women and Girls in ICT”

Posted on 16 May 2012 by admin

ICTs play a catalytic role in creating opportunities for people in every walk of life, especially for those among us who are vulnerable and disadvantaged, while providing the framework for long-term sustainable development.
This year, on World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, we are determined to harness the full potential of ICTs for the benefit of women and girls by eliminating gender disparities and empowering them to meet their goals and aspirations. The theme of this year’s WTISD, “Women and Girls in ICT”, aims to ensure that this significant, female half of the world’s population will march forward as equals.
Women are the bedrock of our societies. They are the pillars of strength in every family and community. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched. Women and girls are denied access to basic health care and education and to equal opportunities at work. They face segregation in economic, political and social decision-making and often suffer violence and discrimination.
This situation is unacceptable and we must address it with all the means available to us.
Gender equality is a basic human right enshrined in the UN Charter, and it is one of the main objectives of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). ICTs are tools that can help accelerate progress towards achieving this target, and it is for this reason that ITU Council proposed that we focus our efforts this year on women and girls, using the power of ICTs to provide new digital opportunities to end discrimination and empower women and girls to achieve their rightful place as equals in the world. This effort with ICTs must begin not only from the cradle, but from antenatal health care, reaching out to the remotest communities through telemedicine and other means ― with every mother, every girl and every woman guaranteed her birthright.
I call upon ITU Member States, Sector Members and Associates as well as academia and citizens’ groups to pull together every conceivable resource to ensure that women and girls in every community around the world have full access to ICTs in order to empower them with information and knowledge, to know their rights, and to seize every available digital opportunity.
I also call upon our other partners and stakeholders ― political leaders, policy makers, regulators, operators, industry and civil society ― to adopt policies and strategies that will promote ICT opportunities for women and girls.
National governments, private sector, donors, civil society and educationists need to acknowledge and support the central role professional women can play in further developing and servicing a dynamic and competitive ICT sector. The growing demand for a range of ICT skills around the globe present a unique window of opportunity to properly position girls and women in the industry and provide them with the tools necessary to succeed.

The ICT sector in particular can pave the way by providing avenues of advancement to professional women at the highest echelons of decision making and by encouraging young women to seek new careers within the sector.
I urge you to celebrate World Telecommunication and Information Society Day this year by paying particular attention to the special needs of women and girls, extending to them the benefits of ICTs so as to create a paradigm shift in opportunities offered now and in the future. An egalitarian and just society is the basis for a peaceful and prosperous world.

 

Dr Hamadoun I. Touré
ITU Secretary-General

Tourism Industry Supports 255 Million Jobs Worldwide

Posted on 14 May 2012 by admin

The Tour Operators’ Initiative for Sustainable Tourism Development (TOI), whose members represent more than 50 million leisure travelers a year, is supportive of efforts in favor of a global, multilaterally-agreed framework for the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from aviation that would mirror the global nature of travel and tourism, with all jurisdictions working hand-in-hand.

“The travel industry at large, as well as the aviation industry, have already taken actions to reduce GHG emissions and we would welcome globally-accepted market-based measures, provided the approach dovetails with other strategies, including research and development, technological and operational innovation, and use of sustainable biofuels, as well as initiatives or projects that actually benefit the environment,” said TOI Chairman Michel Lemay. “Planet Earth has only one atmosphere, molecules can’t be held in check at the border, making this the quintessential multi-lateral file.”

Founded in 2000, the TOI is a non-profit organization of tour operators and travel companies of all sizes based in all parts of the world. Together they represent more than 50 million international travelers. With the support of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), hosting the TOI Secretariat, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), TOI member companies work together to promote best practices in sustainability and corporate responsibility.

TOI members are Accor (France), Andes Nativa (Chile), Atlas Voyages (Morocco), Aurinko Suntours (Finland), Steppes Discovery (UK), Dynamic Tours (Morocco), Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. (Switzerland), NES Travel (Turkey), REWE-Touristik (Germany), Sahara Tours International (Morocco), Settemari (Italy), TLB Destinations (Lebanon), Transat A.T. Inc. (Canada), Travel Walji’s PVT (Pakistan) and TUI Travel plc (United Kingdom

Ritz Carlton y Hard Rock Hotel & Casino lo forma un filosofia nobo pa turismo na Aruba

Posted on 14 May 2012 by admin

ORANJESTAD-Recientemente Minister di Turismo, Transporte y Labor, Otmar Oduber papia riba e crecemento cu Aruba ta pasando aden en coneccion cu cambernan di hotel.

E mandatario a splica cu su Gobierno a hereda un situacion unda cu Aruba tabatin algo mas cu 4 mil camber cu mester a bin debi na e diferente permisonan cu a wordo otorga dor di e mandatarionan anterior. Den 2 aña y mey pueblo por mira cu e 4 mil cambernan aki no a wordo construi danki na e empeño di Minister di Infrastructura como tambe Minister di Turismo cu a logra cancela varios di e acuerdonan cu e Gobierno anterior a laga atras, mientras cu a acorda cu otronan lo bin den un lapso di tempo mas largo. Di e forma aki a evita cu nos comunidad lo a haya su mes confronta den un termino hopi cortico cu 4 mil camber adicional, algo cu sigur no ta na beneficio di desaroyo di nos isla.

Minister Oduber su vision ta pa tin un crecemento di camber mas modera y controla. Pa e motibo aki a scohe pa dos hotelnan cu ta para riba nan mes un categoria, cual ta Ritz Carlton cu lo bin Aruba na aña 2013 como tambe Hard Rock Hotel & Casino cu lo habri su portanan na aña 2014. Den un forma bon defini y midi y trahando den consulta cu ATA como tambe AHATA, Minister Oduber kier percura cu cambernan nobo no lo perhudica esunnan existente.

Minister Oduber a expresa cu Aruba continuamenten ta pasando den desaroyo pero esaki mester wordo midi den forza economico como tambe laboral, pa asina no mester importa cantidad di hende di afor pa traha.
