TCB REACHES AGREEMENT WITH AIR BELGIUM
Air Belgium announced on March 14th that it will include Bonaire as a new destination in the winter schedule 2022/2023 with a direct scheduled flight from Brussels Airport (BRU). Air Belgium will operate a BRU-BON-CUR-BRU triangle flight from the beginning of November 2022, with Bonaire being the first stop on the route from Brussels.

“Increasing our European air network and attracting a quality traveler are parts of our Tourism Recovery Plan, which we are working on with great passion,” said Miles Mercera, director of Tourism Corporation Bonaire. “This extra air connection is a unique opportunity to open up new markets in Belgium and to better serve other European target groups, including Dutch people in the southern regions and German travelers.”
TRAVEL & ADVENTURE SHOW IN NEW YORK
This year, TCB participated at the Travel & Adventure show in Manhattan, New York on March 19th and 20th.  The purpose of TCB’s participation was to promote Bonaire as a vacation destination and networking with travel agents, media & content creators.

Overall, it went very well. The show was well attended with thousands of people visiting the show, and hundreds of attendees stopping by the Bonaire Booth. A lot of them wanted to get more information about the island, discuss about potential collaborations or just to stop by to share their experience of when they visited the island.

Some things that the TCB team came to find out at the show, as was expected, not everyone knew about Bonaire, but a lot of people found it really interesting to book a vacation to the island just because it is “unknown” or a “hidden gem”. Most attendees mentioned that they booked a cruise for 2023 and Bonaire is on their itinerary. Also, they were happy to hear that we have direct flights from Newark to the island. And lastly, there were a lot of interest in fam- and influencers trips.

TOP ACTIVITY OF THE MONTH
Based on our analysis of this month we have noticed that our visitors are enjoying sightseeing. Bonaire is one of the most beautiful islands in the Dutch Caribbean with majestical sights. So, no wonder our visitors are in love with the scenery. Visitors can sign up for different island tours such as, a sunset cruise, visit the Washington Slagbaai National Park, do a North or South tour and much more. In addition, they will learn about Bonaire’s history, culture, flora, fauna, and more from a local guide.

Reminder: bring a camera, because the beauty of Bonaire’s nature is one of the island’s finest attributes!
