Caribbean Tourism Director of the Year – Ronella Tjin Asjoe, Aruba
Tiny Aruba has grown into one of the heavyweights of the Caribbean tourism industry, a high-thinking tourism market that is often one or two steps ahead of much of the region when it comes to tourism promotion. That’s in large part to executives like Ronella Tjin Asjoe, who has helped steward another year of outstanding arrival growth (nearly 15 percent) and kept the destination’s brand fresh and creative.
