Travel advice Rutte ensures run on vacations to Curaçao | Inland

“We saw the bookings to Curaçao flow in immediately after the press conference,” said a Corendon spokeswoman. TUI is seeing the same development. A spokeswoman indicates that there is “more interest” compared to recent times. Both organizations cannot yet give specific booking figures.

Curaçao is currently the only Caribbean destination where the Dutch can go on vacation. Code yellow only applies to that island. For example Bonaire is still colored orange on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Rutte’s statement “avoid unnecessary travel” during the press conference also created confusion. For example, code yellow still applies to the Canary Islands. “It is difficult to explain to customers that we do not offer trips to the Canary Islands as a result of one government advice, while there is a yellow travel advice specifically for that destination,” explains the Corendon spokeswoman. TUI still flies to the Canary Islands. “We follow the country-specific travel advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the organization said.
