Aruba - Tourism Continues to Plummet
The number of Tourists arriving in Aruba on cruise ships decreased 12.9% in April 2006; the number of tourists arriving at the Aruban airport also plummeted 14.7%. This dispite Aruba telling us what a wonderful 2006 Spring Break season they had.
Scared Monkeys Blog runs a July4, 2006 translated article from Amigoe indicating these admitted figures along with a note that the consumer inflation index rose 3.9% with an expected total inflation rate of 5.6% for 2006.
While many Arubans want to blame Americans for this continued decline in tourism, the fault rests solely on the corruption displayed by Aruban officials through out the investigation of American Teen, Natalee Holloway.
Americans have no responsibility to vacation in Aruba. They once chose Aruba as a vacation spot because they thought it was a relatively safe place. However, ALE has demonstrated that should something bad happen to an American Tourist, there will be lies and cover ups instead of an actual investigation. Americans will spend their vacation dollars where they feel wanted and safe. Aruba is NOT the place.
Even the Dutch could not believe the inept and fraud involved in the investigation as Dave Holloway and Beth Twitty spent months in Aruba attempting to organize a search for their daughter who is presumed dead.
Three young men, Joran van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were arrested after being allowed to roam the island freely for 10 days, even though they were identified within 24 hours as being the last people seen with Natalee. All three have conflicting stories that have never stood up to day light.
Aruban officials continue their lip service by counting all the money they have spent on the investigation but give no account of the vast amount of evidence that has either been "lost" or thrown away.
