The Caribbean island of Curaçao has always been welcoming to LGBT tourists offering great accommodations, events and attitude.
Hundreds of residents and visitors to the Island celebrated the island’s very first Pride Week last month from September 25-29, 2013 raising the island’s commitment to the LGBT community and LGBT tourism “to another level”.
Hundreds of people showed up at The White Affair event at the Floris Suite Hotel, host property of Curaçao’s first Pride Week, transforming the hotel into Pride City for the week. In addition, hotels and restaurants contributed with gourmet food and drinks in support of Pride Week. They included the Hilton Curaçao, Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort, Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, Kyoto Restaurant, Tempo Doeloe Restaurant, Pirate Bay, Sandton Kura Hulanda Hotel and many others.
There were also events at the Rainbow Lounge, Neighbourhood Bar, Williwood, and after parties at The Gallery Lounge in Punda, with almost 700 people in attendance across all the events.
Parties, street fairs and educational seminars rounded off what organisers have called a very successful first Pride Week.
The date of the next Curaçao South Caribbean Pride Week is Wednesday, April 30 to Monday, May 5, 2014. Organisers promise it will be one of the biggest LGBT celebrations in the region.
