Innovative Destination of the Year: Aruba
Whether it’s devising a “Happiness Builder,” making a massive green energy push or leading world-class conferences, Aruba has become perhaps the most modern and forward-thinking destination in the Caribbean. That’s in large part due to the efforts of both Prime Minister Mike Eman, himself the Caribbean’s most digital-savvy politician, and the always-creative Aruba Tourism Authority. As the tourism world gets more competitive, the rest of the Caribbean will have a lot to learn from the Dutch Caribbean island.
