Away.com has launched an
interactive guide to the island
of Curaçao,
an under-the-radar Caribbean gem, with evocative photos, expert-selected hotels
and attractions, beach and scuba diving highlights, and more. “This guide shows vacation
planners the breadth of activities, events, and experiences that Curaçao has to
offer—from incredible diving and snorkeling to climbing the island’s Mount Christoffel. Curaçao is truly a hidden treasure that is
here to be discovered by intrepid, adventurous travelers looking for a unique
getaway,” says Brenda Benjamin, director of marketing for Curaçao Tourism. A lot of people in the States
may not have heard of Curaçao—but that’s likely to change soon. This southern Caribbean
isle is positioned just below the hurricane belt, and the friendly local
culture and year-round sunshine have already made it a popular vacation spot
for Europeans. Away.com’s portal, created in
conjunction with Curaçao Tourism, makes it easier for more Americans to get in on
the secret, with highlights of the island’s top attractions, along with guides
catering to family travelers and beach-goers to help the unfamiliar traveler
become better acquainted with the attractions and activities that define this
Dutch Antilles paradise. Away.com’s widely published,
carefully vetted travel experts have identified the best hotels and resorts,
beaches, restaurants, shops, museums, and other outdoor attractions that make Curaçao
such a desirable vacation spot. And the
interactive elements of this new planning tool allow travelers to effortlessly
browse the island’s many activities, or hone in on what exactly they want to
do—be it hiking through the exotic jungle interior, touring the famous Dutch
architecture, or just relaxing on one of the island’s many natural beaches, frosted
drink in hand. Finding information specific
to a traveler’s interests is one of the most important aspects of planning a
great trip, but it can be difficult to do for undiscovered spots like Curaçao. “Curaçao is truly an island worth exploring,”
says Eric Brodnax, Away.com’s general manager.
“Our goal here was to assemble a wide variety of ideas from our travel
experts and present them in an intuitive and accessible way.” With free expert information
on more than 35,000 destinations across a variety of travel interests and
lifestyles, including family travel, beach travel, active travel, parks travel,
and gay and lesbian travel, Away.com has once again defined itself as a
valuable tool for travelers across the globe. |
