Despite all the challenges, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, Aruba has been recovering at an accelerated speed. It is resulting in Aruba being the destination in the Caribbean with the fastest recovery. The recovery of tourism in Aruba will ultimately further economic growth and job creation. The recovery of tourism is an effort of the Ministry of Tourism, the stakeholders ATA, AAA, APA & AHATA, and the entire community.
