More Aruban Chamber of Commerce Material … Stories You Will not Here from the ATA … American Tourists Mistreated Called “Stupid Americans”
ARUBA … One Happy Island … NOT.
We have been saying for quite some time that the death nail for Aruba’s tourism would be based on one more event, act of violence or ignorant action against an American tourist. Is Aruba getting to that boiling point?
How much more ill-treatment does Aruba think America will tolerate? At this point your tourism is as low as it can get. Do you wish for it to be even worse? Why will tourists and Aruba continue to make excuses for bad behavior against Americans? In todays Diario, there was an article that discusses the ill treatment that was maliciously perpetrated upon American tourists. This coming from Aruba, an island that tells us they are friendly and have all but begged Americans to come back.
They got a terrible telling off from the colored lady, who insulted them on top of it, and according to the American resident, this is no way to treat tourists, especially since we are begging the tourists to visit our island.
The treatment that these tourists received in front if their 6 and 12 year old children was uncalled for, inexcusable and unbelievable. What is Aruba going to do about this? NOTHING AS USUAL. Maybe those traveling to the Boston Travel Expo will ask those Aruban representatives there about this incident, what was done about it and why anyone should spend money to go to a place only to be harassed.
At one point, the woman even adopted a fighting position and qualified the tourists as “Stupid Americans!!
(Diario, March 1, 2007) TOURISTS WILL DENOUNCE ILL TREATMENT TO THE MINISTERS AND THE POLICE
ORANJESTAD (AAN) A couple of tourists came to the DIARIO accompanied by an American resident in Aruba for a number of years now, denouncing a bad treatment they received at the Baby Beach during the weekend.The American residing in Aruba declared that he went to Baby Beach with his two grandchildren, his daughter, and as is customary, he went with his own beach chairs and other personal properties to spend the day there.He encountered a colored lady who was about to place her beach chairs and told him that there is no place for him and that he is not allowed to put his chairs there. No one was using the chairs of the lady and furthermore, there was a space that was open and he placed his chairs there.
After that, tourists from Rhode Island came with two children 6 and 12 years of age and they were asked an exorbitant price to rent chairs from the woman. “Don’t touch any one of these chairs,” the lady yelled at them and the American decided to get some more chairs from his pickup double cabin for the tourists.They got a terrible telling off from the colored lady, who insulted them on top of it, and according to the American resident, this is no way to treat tourists, especially since we are begging the tourists to visit our island. Since he has lived here during various years and knows the mentality, he told the visiting tourists not to worry and that he would tend to them and that they could use his properties.At one point, the woman even adopted a fighting position and qualified the tourists as “Stupid Americans!!“This is the kind of people that Aruba does not need to work with tourists on the island,” the American told the DIARIO. “It’s a shame that these things happen with visitors, and I felt ashamed in front of these visitors. I came here (to the DIARIO) and I am denouncing this case also to the Minister of Tourism and the Minister of Justice, and to the ATA (Aruba Tourist Authorities), because you cannot allow Aruban tourism to be damaged by people with this kind of attitude,” he informed.The case has not ended there either, because afterward he found himself with another surprise. After he was able to calm his grandchildren and the children of the tourists that were crying because of the treatment they received, they went back to their car after they enjoyed their stay at the beach for some time.When he reached his pickup, the American found that the inside was full of rice and chicken, as if a whole pot of rice and chicken had been emptied inside his pickup. When he went to the colored woman, she stood before him with a very arrogant poise, telling him: “do you see rice or chicken around here?” and again began to curse him out.This cannot remain so, because only a few days ago a similar case took place there and the visitors denounced this to the police at San Nicolas. “I am also going to the police at San Nicolas, with or without this family (from Rhode Island), so that the police can pay attention to this situation. The time has come to take measures against it,” the American informed DIARIO.

Maybe There is Some Freedom of Speech in Aruba … Maybe … DA Loses Law Suit to Diario and To Retire
The Aruban District Attorney (DA), Theresa Croes-Fernandes Pedra, has lost another case 
against the Diario Newspaper in the court of appeals. The Aruban DA and many officials in general have a difficult time understanding the difference between defamation and criticism.
She brought charges against Diario and two AVP-politicians, Arthur Dowers and Mike Eman, for defamation.
The Court gave verdict in an appeal that DA Theresa Croes-Fernandes Pedra had filed against the acquittal of Diario. The articles that Diario had placed rephrased the opinion of the two politicians, about the OM and the DA not being able to supervise the public administration, because they have insufficient independency and distance.
The DA wanted the Court of First Instance to sentence that she pertinently felt offended by the statements in Diario and that the newspaper will have to rectify.
The DA felt offended? Can one imagine what the US courts would be like if every DA or politician felt offended by what a newspaper or media type stated as an opinion? How thin skinned could one possibly be? What a waste of a law suit with all the issues that Aruba has before it. Not only did the DA lose the law suit, but must pay for legal costs … code for the bill will be paid by the Aruban taxpayers.
With regard to Diario, the judge decided that reporting political opinion is part of the press-freedom. In the appeal case against Diario, the Court decided to maintain the verdict in the lawsuit. The DA lost the appeal and has to pay for the legal costs of the defendants.
The DA, Theresa Croes-Fernandes Pedra, will retire on January 1st, 2008. Isn’t this a common occurance of all the players that were once apart of the Natalee Holloway investigation.
ORANJESTAD – After a decision in her benefit on a dispute about her pension scheme, District Attorney (DA) Theresa Croes-Fernandes Pedra will retire on January 1st, 2008.
Attorney General Nico Jörg will temporarily take her place till September 2008, when a new DA is appointed. In an interview with Amigoe, the DA said that she is relieved.
Paul Van der Sloot Appeals his Lawsuit for Damages … Still Looking for Money
Damages? Maybe the people of Aruba should be suing those responsible for their economy 
going down the toilet. That suit would be toward 3 suspects.
APPEAL OF THE PROSECUTION AGAINST PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY (Diario) January 16, 2007
