WILLEMSTAD – The Curaçao Council of Ministers has received "The Blue Wave Impact Report 2026," a document submitted by the Ministry of Economic Development on behalf of the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB).
The report was presented to the Cabinet during its meeting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and was included in the official government decisions published on November 12.
According to the announcement, the Minister of Economic Development submitted the document on behalf of CTB, after which the Council of Ministers formally took note of its contents.
The title of the report refers to the Blue Wave, a name closely associated with Curaçao's national football team and the country's historic participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
However, the government's announcement did not provide a summary of the report or explain the specific subjects examined.
It is therefore not yet clear whether the document focuses on tourism promotion, international exposure, visitor interest, economic effects, or other developments associated with the Blue Wave.
The government also did not disclose any findings, financial figures, recommendations, or conclusions from the report.
The Curaçao Tourist Board is responsible for promoting the island as an international tourism destination, making its research and reporting relevant to the country's tourism strategy.
An assessment of the Blue Wave's impact could provide useful information about the relationship between international sporting exposure and destination promotion, although the government's announcement does not confirm whether those subjects are covered in the document.
The Council of Ministers' decision was limited to acknowledging receipt of the report. No additional policy measures or follow-up decisions were announced.
Publication of the report would provide greater clarity about its findings and whether it identifies opportunities for Curaçao's tourism sector.
