ORANJESTAD / CHINA -As the international community comes together throughout 2010 to celebrate life on Earth as part of the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity, the tourism industry is pleased to join in this global campaign by celebrating World Tourism Day (WTD) 2010 in China under the theme Tourism and Biodiversity. </p>
<p>The value of biodiversity for tourism is immeasurable. One of tourism’s greatest assets, the diversity of life on Earth causes millions of people to travel the world each year. Yet biodiversity, the intricate web of unique species and ecosystems that make up our planet, is at risk on a global scale. Demographic pressures and unsustainable human activities are causing irreversible biodiversity loss at an alarming rate. </p>
<p>Recognizing the value of Earth’s natural capital to its long-term sustainability, the tourism industry is called upon to protect and sustainably manage biodiversity. A healthy tourism industry depends on a healthy resource base, and sustainable growth in tourism means increased funds for conservation. </p>
<p>Tourism revenues resulting from the enjoyment of this biological diversity, often located in the world’s less developed regions, are a significant source of income and employment for local communities. It is this relationship between tourism and biodiversity and the resulting positive impacts on local livelihoods, development and poverty alleviation that must set the tone for sustainable tourism development. </p>
<p>Against this background, WTD 2010 will highlight the strong ties between tourism development, biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction. Sustainable tourism presents an important opportunity for safeguarding irreplaceable natural wealth and raising awareness of the importance of life’s natural diversity. </p>
<p>Safeguarding biodiversity is an urgent challenge that concerns us all – the international community, governments, companies and travellers – but it is not too late to act. I am confident that throughout 2010 and beyond the tourism community will come together to demonstrate its vital role in protecting biodiversity and maximizing its contribution to poverty reduction and development. </p>
<p>We look forward to celebrating the natural richness of our planet with you. </p>
<p>Taleb Rifai<br />
Secretary-General<br />
World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ORANJESTAD – An independent jury, composed of members Annelien Tromp, Carlos Albertus and John Wardlaw, are currently undertaking the difficult task of assessing candidates for the 2010 Shoco Awards of Excellence. The annual awards program, organized by AHATA, with its signature alliance partner Digicel, recognizes the ‘best of the best’ in tourism, in categories including Employee of the Year, Supervisor of the Year, Manager of the Year, Young Tourism Professional and Lifetime Achievement Award. <a href="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ahata-shoco.jpg"><img src="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ahata-shoco-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="ahata shoco" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3859" /></a></p>
<p>The 2010 awards, launched earlier this year, culminated in several strong candidates in each category, with nominees recently submitted by AHATA-member companies. The applications are now under review by the jury, which reconvened just last week for the 2010 awards. Over the next two weeks, the judges will continue to meet in closed meetings in deciding who will move on to the second round and be brought in for one-on-one interviews.</p>
<p>The Shoco awards were first established in 2005 to recognize excellence and quality service in hospitality. Each nominee from AHATA-member companies is judged according to criteria that assess technical skills, hospitality, leadership, self-development and community involvement, and entails the submission of documentation of histories within their respective companies.</p>
<p>Although AHATA organizes the program, and has received tremendous support from Digicel as the exclusive sponsor of the Shoco awards, the selection of winners are ultimately a decision left in the hands of the independent Shoco jury. Jury members each hold a wealth of knowledge of tourism, and of its foundation in customer service.</p>
<p>“The 2009 jury members &#8212; Annelien Tromp, a manager with Caribbean Mercantile Bank, Carlos Albertus, Managing Director of B&#038;P Interface International N.V. Training and Consultancy, and John Wardlaw, a professor at the University of Aruba &#8212; are each uniquely qualified in their positions of Shoco judges and have shown the utmost dedication and professionalism in carrying out the duties of their important role within the awards program,” comments AHATA CEO &#038; President James Hepple. “We are pleased to have secured such a prestigious jury, who are willing to selflessly contribute their own valuable time in helping us recognize role models within the tourism industry.”</p>
<p>The 2010 Shoco Awards of Excellence will be presented in a ceremony to be held this year on October 15. The AHATA/Digicel Shoco Awards Ceremony will be an all-out event in which award winners will be given well-deserved recognition and appreciation.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ORANJESTAD &#8211; Ayera a tuma lugar e reunion publico den Parlamento pa loke ta creacion di e dos fondonan di turismo, esta e Aruba Tourism Marketing Fund (ATMF) y e Tourism Product Enhancement Fund (TPEF). Por bisa cu e reunion tabata uno hopi positivo caminda a reina un nivel halto y awe por bisa cu Parlamento a aproba e creacion di e fondonan historico aki.<br />
Durante un reunion basta extenso Minister di Turismo, Transporte y Labor,  Otmar Oduber a elabora detayadamente riba e diferente preguntanan cu a bin dilanti pa loke ta e creacion di e fondonan aki y e ventaha cu e ta representa no solamente pa turismo di Aruba, sino pa Aruba en general.<br />
Un di e puntonan cu mas a haya atencion ta e independizacion di ATA y su relacion cu e fondonan aki. Aki e titular di Turismo a indica cu desde 1985 a bin ta purbando di logra independiza ATA, cual tambe a wordo confirma dor di ex minister Briesen, kende a indica cu e mes a firma un documento pa haci’e na 1985.<a href="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/parlamento.jpg"><img src="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/parlamento-300x208.jpg" alt="" title="parlamento" width="300" height="208" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3849" /></a><br />
A base di dialogo habri, conversacionnan sincero entre instancianan cu ta representa turismo na Aruba a logra den 9 luna di tempo loke pa 25 aña no por a wordo logra. Na e momentonan aki por bisa cu 100% di hotelnan na Aruba ta den mesun liña di maneho di Minister Otmar Oduber y e creacion di e dos fondonan aki cu sosten total di nan ta un muestra specifico di esaki.<br />
Mas aleu Minister Oduber a indica cu e maneho hiba den turismo te na e momentonan aki ta di continua cu loke tabata bay bon di maneho anterior, pero tambe cu tin otro cosnan cu ta purba di pone un direccion nobo, cual por wordo mira den e 9 lunanan di maneho.<br />
Meta principal di creacion di e fondonan aki ta ta pa garantiza fondonan importante pa Pais Aruba mirando cu turismo ta esun cu ta set e trend pa e maneho hiba como Gobierno. Den e rosea aki Gobierno a pone un enfasis hopi grandi riba e maneho cu mester wordo hiba den turismo. “Nos tur ta para pa e intencion cu tin pa garantiza fondonan pa cu turismo, pa di e forma ey den bon y den malo, e maneho di promociona Aruba por wordo garantiza. Ta trata aki di un maneho cu ta wordo planifica di un aña of mas”.<br />
Pa loke ta e fondo di mehoracion di producto, e placa di e fondo aki lo wordo usa pa mehora diferente aspectonan di nos isla relaciona cu turismo, pero tambe pa mehora e calidad di servicio cu nos ta ofrece na nos bishitantenan.<br />
Tambe por a scucha den e reunion cu ex minister tabata papia di un ATA sui generis, ta aleha e entidad aki for di politicia y ta sigura e fondonan cu ta bay inverti den futuro pa turismo. Aki por bisa cu ex minister di Turismo y actual Minister di Turismo ta cana riba e mesun liña pa loke ta e punto aki y awe despues di casi 25 aña poco, poco ta yegando na loke un Gobierno tras di otro a purba.<br />
E proceso di independizacion ta bayendo cu cooperacion di e tur e departamentonan concerni y Minister Oduber a comparti cu Parlamento cu a involucra un representante di sindicato tambe den e proceso aki, algo cu ta mustra e claridad y transparencia den dje. AIB tambe a wordo pidi pa colabora den henter e proceso aki pa yuda den e diferente facetanan promer cu yega na e meta final di logra un ATA nobo.<br />
Mercadeo nobo di Aruba mester mustra cu calidad di nos isla ta mihor cu esun di nos competidornan, pesey e diferencia di prijs. Mester mustra cu nos no ta baha nos prijs simplemente pa competi, al contrario mester mustra cu nos calidad ta superior.<br />
Minister Otmar Oduber a keda satisfecho cu e sosten di Parlamento pa e creacion di e fondonan aki cu sigur lo contribui cu e engrandecemento di turismo di nos isla.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ORANJESTAD – Former vice president of the U.S.A. and Nobel Peace laureate Al Gore will be the keynote speaker at the opening of the conference “Our Future with Green Energy” in Aruba on September 29, 2010, the Dutch Caribbean island’s minister of finance, communication, utilities and energy and conference host, Mike de Meza announced Friday.<br />
“We are happy, proud and most honored to be able to announce that Mr. Al Gore, former vice president of the United States of America and Nobel Peace laureate has accepted to be the keynote speaker at our first conference on green energy,” De Meza announced at a press conference. “Vice President Gore is one of the most important driving forces behind the green awareness movement. The wisdom of Mr. Gore’s words will be of great value to our delegates as well,” Minister De Meza added. <a href="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/algore.jpg"><img src="http://arubasuturismo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/algore.jpg" alt="" title="algore" width="140" height="154" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3832" /></a><br />
Albert Arnold “Al” Gore Jr. (Washington D.C., March 31, 1948) was the 45th Vice President of the United States of America. The Nobel Prize in Peace 2007 was awarded jointly to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Mr. Gore &#8220;for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change&#8221;.<br />
Vice President Gore has been a much requested speaker at international debates and meetings on sustainability since the year 2000. He most passionately expresses his concern for the ecological evolution of our planet and the role of the individual herein. The documentary Mr. Gore and the IPCC produced on global warming won an Oscar at the 75th Academy Awards for Best Documentary on February 25, 2007. This documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” will be shown at various locations on Aruba prior to the Green Aruba 2010 conference.<br />
The Government of Aruba has a very ambitious green agenda. Twenty percent of the energy needed to produce potable water and electricity is already being harvested provided by the island’s first windmill park. Making use of the available sustainable energy sources, namely sun, ocean and wind, the government aims to double this percentage in the coming two years.</p>
<p>From September 29 through October 1, the government of Aruba and the local utilities companies WEB Aruba N.V., N.V. ELMAR and Utilities Aruba N.V. will host the first international conference on green energy for Aruba with as theme “Our Future with Green Energy”. During the conference international experts will present the latest technologies and developments in state of the art alternative, sustainable energy technologies and their practical use in the Caribbean.<br />
At a tradeshow geared towards increasing national and regional awareness on the everyday use of sustainable energy tools in the home and business, on October 1, 2 and 3, the general public is offered the opportunity to get better acquainted with a numerous green technologies.<br />
Information on the conference and tradeshow are available on the website www.greenaruba.org.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ORANJESTAD &#8211; Den proximo dianan Parlamento di Aruba lo ta tratando algo sumamente importante y historico pa nos isla, e dos fondonan cu lo contribui grandemente na mehora nos Producto Aruba y na mercadeo di nos isla den exterior.<br />
Pa promer biaha a yega na un acuerdo di cooperacion entre sector publico y priva pa uni esfuerzonan pa mercadea nos isla den exterior y pa mehora nos Producto.<br />
Durante añanan largo hopi a purba pa yega na algun tipo di cooperacion, pero esaki no a logra y awe por bisa cu den apenas algun luna Minister Otmar Oduber a logra e acuerdonan di cooperacion aki cu tanto Aruba Hotel And Tourism Association) y ATSA (Aruba Timeshare Association). Cu otro palabra, mundo hotelero na Aruba ta riba e mesun liña di maneho di Minister Oduber.<br />
E acuerdonan aki ta un refleho di maneho di Gabinete Mike Eman cual ta basa riba e dialogo, cooperacion y transparencia. E tipo di maneho aki a logra habri portanan di cooperacion y awendia por mira cu e relacion entre sector priva y publico a mihor cu nunca.<br />
Pero no ta solamente esey, vision di Minister Otmar Oduber pa cu turismo ta conta cu e sosten di mundo hotelero, nan ta wak con e titular di Turismo ta trahando fuertemente pa hiba nos isla na e lugar cu e merece riba mercado turistico internacional.<br />
Na maart  2010 a firma e MOU cu AHATA pa yega na e Aruba Tourism Marketing Fund (ATMF) y na augustus 2010 a firma cu ATSA e MOU pa yega na e Tourism Product Enhancement Fund (TPEF).<br />
Pa loke ta e fondo di mercadeo, esaki lo significa un cambio grandi den e forma cu lo bay mercadea, pasobra den e MOU no solamente ta papia di un fondo independiza y cu mester desemboca den un ATA independiza pa 1 di januari 2011, pero tambe ta encera e confianza di crea un ‘board’  cu tin cu bay hunto entre AHATA y Gobierno.<br />
Den e structura di esaki lo tin participacion completo, habri y structura entre instancianan priva y publico caminda hunto, usando ATA como e vehiculo, lo mercadea nos pais, teniendo e control y supervision den un fase transitorio, ya cu na momento cu ATA bira independiente esaki lo bay pa e oficina di turismo.<br />
Den cuadro di instalacion di e dos fondonan a mira e necesidad pa adapta e tarifanan di room tax, Parlamento, durante un reunion publico den luna di april, a sostene e cambio aki cu un total di 11 voto na fabor y 6 voto contra. Esaki a encera cu entrante 1 di mei e room tax (impuesto pa camber) a pasa di 6% pa 7.5%, es decir un aumento di 1.5%.<br />
Mester bisa tambe cu den mesun cambio aki a keda aproba cu lo conoce un otro aumento, cual inicialmente tabata entrante 1 di juli 2010,  esaki di 2%. Es decir e room tax lo yega na un total di 9.5% y esaki lo drenta na vigor asina cu e wordo trata den Parlamento den e proximo dianan.<br />
Minister di Turismo ta pone tur dia hopi prioridad riba Producto Aruba, mehoracion di dje, diferencia nos mes for di competidornan tanto pa e calidad como pa servicio brinda na Aruba, esaki ta forma parti di su vision pa mehora nos turismo.<br />
A base di e vision aki durante e promer reunion cu e tabatin cu ATSA na december pasa, el a bay presenta e idea, pero promer cu el a logra esaki ya caba esnan di ATSA a bise kico nan idea tabata, cual tabata cuadra totalmente cu loke Gobierno kier a crea. Esey ta cu a yega na aumento di roomtax, pero poniendo atencion na percura pa Producto Aruba y su servicio tambe aumenta.<br />
Asina a conclui cu e 2% cu ta bin for di e propiedadnan cu ta time share na Aruba lo wordo separa den un fondo caminda cu un suma equivalente na tur e simannan cu ta wordo opera bou di timesharing, igual na e 2% lo wordo deposita den un ‘begrotings fonds” special cu lo bay specialmente pa mehora calidad di producto y servicio na Aruba.<br />
Ta trata aki di un suma di alrededor di 4 miyon florin cu lo bay tin den un fondo cu no tabata existi antes. Gobierno hunto cu ATSA lo bay supervisa e distribucion di e placa aki a base di cierto acuerdonan cu tin caminda lo mustra den ki direccion e fondonan aki mester bay.<br />
Asina por mira cu den apenas 9 luna di tempo Minister Otmar Oduber a logra yega na dos fondonan sumamente importante pa Pais Aruba mirando cu industria turistico ta nos pilar economico. Un logro hopi importante cu a wordo logra na un maneho habri di dialogo y cooperacion cu e partnernan den turismo y cu awendia ta comparti e mesun liña di maneho cu e mandatario.</p>
