Bonaire Honors its Repeat Visitors in its Ambassador Program

Many of the island’s visitors are repeat guests--they come back year after year after year.  In many cases, they come for multiple weeks or months, or several times in each year.  These visitors are an important component of Bonaire’s tourist product, as they promote the island with their enthusiasm and love for all that is Bonaire.  And the island shows its appreciation, by bestowing upon these visitors the status of honorary ambassador.

Last Friday evening, thirteen visitors were awarded various levels of ambassador status, depending upon the number of consecutive years they have been visiting Bonaire.  These honored visitors were:

Judy Stipp, 22 years
Ann Barnett, 22 years
Scott and Jane Stuart, 21 years
Vivian Michaels, 20 years
Nancy Geidel,20 years
Douglas Cohen, 20 years
Robert and Judy Schmitt, 16 years
Joe Dubose, 15 years
Megan Davis, 13 years
James and Deborah Johnson, 10 years

Thanks to all of you who return faithfully to Bonaire.  The island’s repeat visitors are truly appreciated!  (Source:  Bonaire Insider Reporter)
