Niki Terpstra wins Amstel Curaçao race

At the time of writing this newsletter, we have just

heard that Niki Terpstra has won the Amstel Curaçao

race. Curaçao resident Marc De Maar finished right

after. Congratulations to both sportsmen and to

organiser Leo Van Vliet for another successful edi-

tion that attracted many prominent sports persons

and their fan base to our lovely little island.

MCB Kids Golf Clinic at Blue Bay Curacao

No less than 75 school kids enjoyed a chance to get their

feet wet at golfing last week. Thanks to sponsors MCB

Bank and Blue Bay Golf, a team of international and

local golf pro’s and advanced amateurs lead a free kids

workshop. They demonstrated techniques, assisted the

kids in playing and even helped them winning a game

from the pros. 16 year old player Maria Torres explained

the kids how her hard work and devotion to golf paid

off: MCB, CTB and Blue Bay now generously sponsor

her trips to, and presence at various international

tournaments.

Tula The Movie

As we speak, an international movie is being filmed on

our island. Theme is the 1795 slave revolt lead by Tula.

Producer / director Jeroen Leinders attended school on

our island as a child but never learned about the revolt.

He decided to create a movie based on the event.

Leinders attracted a top crew including well known

actors like Danny Glover and Jeroen Krabbé. The movie

will be released next spring.

Starting October 28th, Sunquest in cooperation with Westjet

will connect Toronto Pearson International Airport and

Curaçao on a weekly basis. Direct flights depart and arrive

every Sunday, year around, and take an approximate five

hours. In order to celebrate this milestone, a Curaçao themed

coach line, featuring Curaçao’s scenic “Handelskade” in

downtown Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage City, will

drive back and forth between downtown Toronto and Toronto

Pearson International Airport on a daily basis. Residents of

Toronto and vicinity will now be able to visit Curaçao both for

a well deserved winter break but also in summer and spring.

2013 and 2014 Edition of Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival Secured

Year Round Connection Toronto - Curaçao by Sunquest / Westjet

“Fundashon Bon Intenshon”, organiser of the event, recently

announced that The Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival (CNSJF)

will get a fourth and fifth edition. The 2013 edition is planned

to take place August 30 and 31. Dates for the 2014 edition

have not yet been communicated. So far, no performing art-

ists have been named.

The festival is a success formula for tourism in Curaçao and

for our local economy.

The University of Central Florida conducted an economic

impact study and rated the visitors satisfaction with the CNSJF.

In 2012 The Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival generated an

additional income of approximately 20 million dollars for

the island. The economic impact of this third edition of the

festival was 20 percent higher than in the previous year. For

more information on, visit the webpage at curacaonorth-
