WILLEMSTAD - Earlier this week, the Government announced several adapted measures. One of the adapted measures was that boats, both private and chartered boats, could continue to operate while maintaining a hygienic environment and a social distance protocol in place. Aside from the other de-escalated measures, such as outdoor dining, stores and business opening and spa’s, gyms, hair salons and barbers providing services once again, the Government states in the “Ministeriele Beschikking” that beaches are also open to the public, as long as you adhere to the general regulations against agglomeration and not for sporting activities.

CHATA is very happy to have received this news as it benefits the community and their mental health. Also, this means that the chances of tourists choosing Curaçao as their vacation destination to enjoy and relax on our beautiful beaches will be higher.

CHATA thanks the Government for their cooperation during these difficult times and for taking the sectors wishes into consideration. The measures are slowly de-escalating, the community is getting vaccinated, and this all together facilitates the possibility for the economy to start building back up.
