Recently, Kimberley Richardson of the Aruba Tourism Authority had the great pleasure to honor Aruba’s loyal and friendly visitors as Emerald Ambassadors of Aruba. The symbolic Emerald Ambassador certificate is presented on behalf of the minister of tourism, as a token of appreciation to guests who visit Aruba 35 years and more consecutively.
The honorees were couple Don & Bobbi Lapinson from Boynton Beach, Florida.
The Emerald Ambassador is the highest certificate that we present, and is given to visitors who have been visiting Aruba 35 years or more consecutively. Mr. & Mrs. Lapinson have been visiting Aruba for 39 years consecutively! The ceremony was one of importance because honoring visitors who have been coming to Aruba for over 35 years is incredibly rare and it was a very memorable moment for all of us.
This lovely couple stated that they love the island very much, especially for its year-round sunny weather, nice sandy beaches and picturesque sunsets, its cleanliness and safety, and Aruba’s warm and friendly people who became like family to them. This couple not only fell in-love with the island, but also brought family and friends to Aruba.
Richardson together with the representatives of the Caribbean Palm Village Resort presented the certificate to the honorees, handed over some presents and also thanked them for choosing Aruba as their favorite vacation destination and as their home-away-from-home.
