Tourism Corporation Bonaire Press Release

New Silver Ambassador - Phillip Kingry

“BONAIRE’S REEFS ARE THE BEST OF THE WORLD”, HE SAYS
He feels at home and attends Rotary club meetings while on vacation

Congratulations to Phillip Kingry!!

This is my story:
Some SCUBA friends introduced me to your beautiful island in 1992. Since then, I have made annual visits to Bonaire, often coming twice a year. Most visits are only for a week, but occasionally I stay for two weeks. I have returned the favor and introduced Bonaire to many other friends. My grandson joined me last year as a graduation gift.

Bonaire is such a wonderful place. The people are so friendly and the diving is fabulous! Thanks to the efforts of STINAPA and the island’s dive operators, the reefs are among the best in the world. Through the years, I have enjoyed staying at many of the resorts as well as renting apartments and private homes. The wide variety of delightful restaurants, on the island, is also a plus.

I feel almost at home when I visit due to the friendships established over the years. I frequently attend the local Rotary club to do a “make-up meeting” while on vacation.

Thank you and congratulations Phil!!
