Aruba Tourism Association … Wake Up. Declining tourism and discounted Rates are Attributed to One Factor … Where’s Natalee???

 

Try as they might to reinvent themselves through marketing gimmicks, Aruba … no one is buying it. The occupancy rates will continue to decline, the number of tourists will decline and so will the rates. Aruba has become a bargain basement vacation and radio game show give away gimmick.

Your image has nearly become carved in stone. Unless Aruba does something to actually solve this case and prosecute those responsible, the tarnished image and connection with Natalee Holloway’s disappearance will never go away.

(Hat Tip: Vanderbilt ‘06)

Seems likely that the mere mention of Natalee Holloway would be cause for deep discounts for potential Aruba tourists. Attempts to distance itself from a botched cover up only darkens Aruba’s image. Truth and Justice is the prescription for the abolishment of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. So long as the question remains unanswered, the Natalee Holloway/Aruba association will persist.

      Okay guys, Thanks to Meee, who gave me the link to the DAILY NEWS.. It is 30,000.00 for a half page ad for one day. The ad has to be approved by their legal department before we can go any further. Once it is approved, then they will run the ad. The woman I spoke with was so kind and she KNEW ALL ABOUT NATALEE. Dont think for one minute that people have forgotten NATALEE. Everywhere I go people comment on my bracelet. I think we can send them the CRIMES AND MURDERS thread that was put together on SM…Tom, Red, Klass???? What say you?

      ____________

      SM:   I’m not Red or Tom but I’ll give you my opinion anyway :)    $30,000 is an aweful lot of money to try to collect.   It’s been my experience that less people are reading the hard copies of newspapers these days than in the past.   I think that the internet and blogs  can spread the information faster and for free. (klaasend)

      I think the general idea is awsome, Vicki.

      I am not crazy about the NY TIMES as the
      vehicle for this… (IMO – for my own set of
      concerns)

      Overall the idea kicks a$$!!! …and it’s all
      about the J4N —

      I’d be down with the general concept.

      As mentioned in a prior thread. I have seen Aruba resorts advertising themselves as “Dutch Antilles” rather than Aruba. Essentially, they are trying to distance themselves from the name “Aruba” by utilizing “Dutch Antilles”.

      In 1986, Aruba left the “Dutch Antilles” and is not considered a part. Thus, the resorts are false advertising in order to get people to come there!

      Bwwwwaaahhaaaaahhhhhaaaaaa! So its come to this…hide the fact that you are in Aruba to get tourists!!!

      Resorts are actually using location aliases to entice potential tourist business? Aruba is in disguise now?

      The con continues.

    5. derek on September 20th, 2006 11:39 am

      Status of Aruba
      The island of Aruba formed a part of the Netherlands Antilles till 1986. On January 1 of that year Aruba stepped out of the Antilles and got its own status as a separate colony of the Netherlands. It was agreed that Aruba would achieve independence ten years later (thus in 1996). The governments of Aruba and the Netherlands however, agreed recently that Aruba will stay part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and will not become an independent state in 1996. There is no other date set. Aruba has economic reasons to stay under the umbrella of The Netherlands.

      Don’t know where y’all are looking, but I haven’t seen any discounted flights or hotel rates. As much as i hear about slower tourism, I am surprised to find such high rates. I realize it is going on high season, but I dont see anything reflected in their pricing.

      I smelled a name change months ago. So we should address the lieland as

      Dutch Antilles formerly Aruba or
      Aruba now the Dutch Antilles

      Hey the powers of Aruba/Dutch Antilles look what you have done to you home and the innocent people of Aruba.

      Return Natalee to her family

    8. Carpe Noctem on September 20th, 2006 11:57 am

      I suggested we call it NATALEE HOLLOWAY Island
      because of the fact nobody can think of anything
      else when they see or hear the name ‘Aruba’ anymore.

      …but NOBODY listens to Andrew. :(

      Mee, thanks for the link.

      Vicki, thanks for checking it out.

      I would LOVE to see a print ad, but as Klaas wrote, it IS a lot of money to collect.

      Perhaps a well-written letter to the editor would work. If printed, it would be free.

    10. minnesota dad on September 20th, 2006 12:25 pm

      So, here are all of the resorts that I could go to for free next week…..Please note, they all are advertising “Netherlands Antilles” rather than being truthful and calling it “Aruba”.

    11. Richard on September 20th, 2006 12:28 pm

      I would think that if any ad were run at that cost, it should be in relation to some key development in the case.

      If an ad were run without a specific stimulus, so to speak, it would be read today and gone tomorrow. But if it were intended to generate influence on a particular matter (for example, if the Dutch had announced that they would end their probe on such-and-such a date), it might have some impact.

      Oh but is that new to Aruba?

    15. minnesota dad on September 20th, 2006 12:40 pm

      OK,

      I did a hotel search….it appears that almost every/hotel condo in Aruba is pimping themselves as “Netherlands Antilles”

      http://aruba-hotels.zoomandgo.com/

      These do show Aruba in the name too. However, I wonder if there is a ‘rebranding’ campaign going on. It really seems odd that Aruba seceded from the “Netherlands Antilles” in 1986….yet they are pimping their resorts as “Netherlands Antilles” in 2006.

      Whats up wid dat? md

      I’ve been wondering the same thing Sharon in Chicago. I personally don’t think it will happen and if it does, it won’t be legit. It is just a way to make it appear as they they are acutally doing something…and so they can close the case.

      Carpe: Love your photos. Couldn’t help but LOL at your post #2.

      MN Dad: Good catch on the name change. I came across my Frommer’s book on Aruba yesterday while recycling my travel books. It states “Although the island gained independence from the Netherlands Antilles in 1986, it remains an autonomous unit of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.” So people don’t get fooled by this we now need bumper stickers that read: In case you didn’t know Aruba=The Netherlands Antilles. Slashes would have to run through Aruba and The Netherlands Antilles.

      There were 3 ads for Aruba in the Chicago Tribune Travel Section this Sunday. I know it depends on the time of year and the hotel but it seems as if my husband and I could go for $500.00 less now than the August before Natalee went missing. I also noticed incentives in the ads such as cruises and land tours included. I will write to the travel editor if I see that Aruba just becomes known as The Netherlands or Dutch Antilles. Just the same old stuff from Lieruba.

      Justice for Natalee Holloway!

      To anyone contemplating a trip to Aruba:

      Is your life really worth a bargain basement price?

      Not much of a bargain if you have to worry about a crime happening to you and the police turning a blind eye to it.

      How much are you or your daughters worth? MUCH MORE than a bargain flight to Aruba!

      NO police force in the world would have been dumb enough to still arrest the security guards after knowing that J2K LIED about the Holiday Inn dropoff.

      COVER-UP COVER-UP COVER-UP

      And the fact that Joran took Natalee’s distraught parents and “showed” them where he dropped off Natalee–lying to them face to face–speaks VOLUMES about Joran as a brazen and uncaring person.

      Aruba Tourist Assoc. should donate the money for the special equipment Tim Miller was talking about that can go to deeper depths. Would be a good PR move for the tourism Assoc. It would show them in a more compassionate light.

      I thought they were suppose to come in the third week of Sept, well, it’s the third week. When are they going to come in and give their spin-version? My guess is, another Dumpig debacle, only with a little more flair. Looking forward to a whole new cast of dillweeds to shake down.

    37. Waterboy on September 20th, 2006 7:29 pm

      to dennisintn,

      That’s what I’ve been asking. Is he alive?

    38. Allan K on September 20th, 2006 7:49 pm

      Aruba. Give Natalee back now and quit lying.

    39. dennisintn on September 20th, 2006 8:02 pm

      wb, he could be another suicide and self burial, or another vanishment. it’s aruba, you know. well, actually you don’t know and probably we’ll never know. i’d rather know why he disappeared.

      — again —-

      Monday night ( Nat not even missing 24 hours )

      8:00 pm on Mon. 5/30, Paulus brought
      a bag to Joran at the Raquet Club,

      as Joran was walking —

      IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MARRIOTT.

      ( I think he made a slight detour )

      (in the muck maybe? — he had what he
      needed in the bag to get the job done,
      OPERATION GET RID OF TISH
      maybe incriminating clothes and shoes even,
      & the bodies were stowed somewhere
      out in the quagmire of $hit that we see the
      fresh footprints being videotaped in CHICAGO
      ARUBAY #24 — perhaps they stored ‘em in that
      outhouse looking thingy –corpse disposal, dropped
      in to 510-24 with a weight bag for Koen??? Steve Croes
      (body pick up and removal team?)
      … when was Koen G’s pops bought supposedly
      “in action?”)

      (510-24) DIRTY SHOES

      (The Eagles) — this case has seem to be about

      “Those Shoes” :)

      Natalee’s…

      …and those of the god awful murdering rapist. -imo-
      Joran Andreas Petrus Van der SLOOT (rhymes with boat)

      (cont’d)

      5/30 sometime after 8pm
      after Racquet Club claimed drop off -

      http://tinyurl.com/znfdz

      Paulus then went on to pick up Joran’s brother Sebastian from a friend’s house.

      6/14 Joran stated that he had his gym bag with
      him at the Racquet Club and left it there
      when he walked to the casino.

      On 6/18 Paulus stated that he did not recall having
      any more contact with Joran that day after
      dropping him off at the Raquet Club.

      Sebastian’s friend’s house location. ???

      wonder how much they paid the idiot that thought the name change up? wait, what was i thinking, wonder what the idiots that bought that idea paid the bozo that thought it up? they’re going to blindfold the tourists when they land on the island so they can’t see the “aruba” sign on the terminal? how many islands are there in the dutch antilles?

    48. just moma on September 21st, 2006 3:36 am

      So is the Arubian name change in the travel industry fraud? false advertizing? just more covering up?

      The Dutch will have to solve this without a scapegoat in order to help the actual people who live and try to survive in Aruba…. not just some elitist families! The timing is right and tourism would come up greatly if this were solved and some of the coverup ALE and maybe government officials were exposed. Otherwise…

      LieAruba sounds good! and they are digging their own hole.

      Accountability! is a must now there is no turning back.

      Vicki, I think this ad is a GREAT idea. Don’t let a few people STOP you. I will put in my share. Lets see who REALLY want to help !!!!!!!!! That’s called putting your MONEY where your mouth is !!!!!!!

      You Might Be Right About Joran Having “A Little Thing”
      And That Lazy Eye Usually Means Lazy “You Know What”

      ——–
      p.s. Klaas’ warnings to you are even funnier than
      when da wench told you to: ESAD !

    57. KELMAL on September 21st, 2006 9:05 pm

      klass, Why would they let him in in the 1st place. I guess MONEY talks !!!!!!!

    58. Carpe Noctem on September 26th, 2006 4:53 pm

      IMO-

      Joran ain’t nuthin but a punk ass Dutch kid that
      has to slash throats to get laid. We see it, all the
      tell tale marks are there, preserved in still shots
      for a lifetime, and soon… everyone else will be able
      to see them TOO.

      Justice 4 Natalee!

      Jail Joran the predator rapist.
      …and his even bigger sweating, cowering,
      pedophile of a predatory raping father.

      and whie you at it… jail the Kalpoes-
      to nutless havin’ POS, that lied their
      a$$e$ off and have paved their road
      in straight to hell.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA
      The kind of island that”
      slash your kids up, and toss
      em in to a water basin for disposal.
