We are currently looking for a full-time content editor who will become responsible for the content of a large tourism website. We will post an ad in the Amigoe (local newspaper) but wanted the give the people who are already following us a bit of a headstart.

If you’re interested you should read the ad below. The gist of the requirements is that you need to be good at writing English texts and you need to have a ‘feel’ for the tourism industry as well as a lot of experience with the internet. We would like you to start end of March / beginning of April, 2010. If this sounds like you and you’re looking for a great job in the internet business, you should apply.

Chicas Curacao is a photo production and casting agency that recently started working in Curacao. A fun and energetic group of Chicas (girls) that provide casting services for advertising agencies and photographers, models for art productions, props etc.

They have been working for some months now and we run into the name ‘Chicas’ every now and then. photographer Daphne Vermeulen, our strategic partner when it comes to photography, works with them a lot.

Today, they surprised us with a delicious lunch, to get to know us and Advertising/Publishing agency Bas Kok better. What a nice way to leave an impression!

At 12:30 Marijn, Gitva and Marcia walked in, loaded with grocery bags and set the table. We chatted, laughed and are excited to work directly with them in the future.
Thanks & good luck Chicas!!!

This afternoon we suffered an invasion at our office. They weren’t little green men or the police but something much more sinister; the Kooyman Gifts & Garden Wedding Fair Invitation Team!

LTR: Cezanna, Raoul, Bride, Groom & Friendly Kooyman Dude

The reason they invaded our, already pretty chaotic, office was to deliver VIP invitations to their Wedding Fair opening on April 3rd. To get some promotion going for this fair they put two beautiful people in a wedding dress and tuxedo, hired a big Lexus and went to the media and their contacts.

This is a really good example of creating some good buzz on a local level. Sure, you can only reach so many people in a day this way but these people all tell their friends, blog/twitter about it, put it on FaceBook, etcetera. The word-of-mouth factor is not to be underestimated when you do something original like this.

Two thumbs up for Kooyman Gifts & Garden and we’re definitely going to their Wedding Fair to see what else they’ve come up with.

Last week, we entered the world of research…
We were taken through rooms full of bottles with crazy things in it, bones of giant whales used as chairs, stuffed animals as decorations and last but not least, a very distinct species of the homo sapiens: researchers!
Luckily we met the nice kind; they welcomed us and showed us all the necessary, interesting and wonderful work they do.

I’m talking about the people of Carmabi.
Carmabi is a foundation that researches, protects and maintains a lot of nature areas and reserves at Curacao. They also educate children, which is very, very important to preserve nature on this island and preserving nature is very, very, very important for tourism. Who wants to visit a dry, desert like island shattered with trash?
Through my former job, at an eco-tour-company, I really saw how important it is to maintain our island. I also learned how beautiful our island is. We have many natural treasures no amusement park can beat.
