Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) successfully hosted the Annual Bonaire Tourism Summit 2026 on September 24, 2025, at Van der Valk Plaza Resort Bonaire. The event brought together tourism professionals, government representatives, and industry partners under the theme 'Everything Is Connected,' emphasizing the interdependence of stakeholders across Bonaire's tourism ecosystem. The summit served as a key platform for aligning strategies, sharing insights, and strengthening collaboration within the island's tourism sector. Bonaire's economy is heavily reliant on tourism, particularly eco-tourism and diving, making coordinated industry planning essential for sustainable growth.

The annual format reflects TCB's ongoing commitment to structured dialogue and long-term sector development.

Hertz Bonaire is promoting its car rental services as a primary way for visitors and residents to explore the island of Bonaire. The campaign encourages people to discover the island's diverse landscapes, from its famous national park and salt flats to its coastal roads and Washington Slagbaai National Park. Car rental remains one of the most practical ways to navigate Bonaire, as public transportation options on the island are limited. Hertz, as an internationally recognized brand with a local presence, offers travelers flexibility and convenience in planning their own itineraries. The promotion aligns with Bonaire's broader tourism sector, which continues to draw visitors seeking nature-based experiences, diving, and eco-tourism. Access to a reliable vehicle is considered essential for fully experiencing the island, particularly for reaching more remote areas. The campaign reflects ongoing efforts by local businesses to support and grow Bonaire's tourism economy.
