| Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) proudly represented Bonaire at Travmedia’s International Media Marketplace (IMM) 2026, held on January 22nd, 2026, in New York City. IMM is a leading global networking event that connects the travel industry with leading journalists, freelancers, editors, influencers, and broadcasters from top media outlets. TCB’s participation in this year’s IMM event focused on strengthening media relations and showcasing the island’s diverse offerings.
During this year’s IMM event, TCB emphasized personalizing the Bonaire experience by highlighting new developments for 2026 and showcasing the island’s unique mix of nature, culture, sustainability, and culinary offerings. From new experiences to all-time favorites, Bonaire’s ongoing commitment to responsible tourism and authentic island experiences was warmly received by the contributors who met with the Bonaire team.
TCB had a full agenda and successfully conducted 24 one-on-one appointments with top media representatives from leading outlets such as Fodor’s Travel, Travel & Leisure, National Geographic, Lonely Planet, Condé Nast Traveler, TravelPulse, Toronto Star, and other prominent international publications. These meetings allowed for in-depth conversations and connections directly with key media partners who are interested in visiting Bonaire to do a cover story on the island.
“Being present at key international media platforms like IMM is essential to ensure that Bonaire remains top of mind for both current and potential visitors in our priority markets. Strong media relationships help us authentically share Bonaire’s story and position the island beyond a single experience,” said Elesiër Angel, CEO of Tourism Corporation Bonaire.
Following TCB’s participation at IMM 2026, the team, together with Van der Valk Plaza Beach Resort Bonaire and Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino are also preparing to participate in the Travel & Adventure Show in New York. During the show, the Bonaire team will have the opportunity to engage directly with consumers while sharing inspiration for future travel.
