Curaçao’s tourism sector is increasingly shaped by accommodations outside the traditional hotel industry, with a significant share of visitors opting for apartments, villas, and other forms of non-hotel lodging. This trend is reflected in recent data from the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) and the Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association (Chata).
During a recent government press conference on tourism and its economic impact, CTB managing director Muryad de Bruin stressed the importance of maintaining a diverse and dependable range of accommodation options. Chata chief executive Anuschka Martens-Cova highlighted the growing role of the non-regular accommodation sector, which now represents roughly 25 percent of Curaçao’s total room capacity.
