Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) and fuel company Curoil are co-organizing the third Taste of Bonaire event of the year, scheduled for Saturday, August 8th.

Dutch State Secretary Van der Burg to Visit Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao

Dutch State Secretary Eric van der Burg is scheduled to visit Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao as part of an official trip to the Dutch Caribbean islands. Van der Burg, who serves in the Netherlands' government with responsibilities that include Kingdom relations, will meet with local officials and stakeholders during the visit. The trip underscores the ongoing political and administrative ties between the Netherlands and its Caribbean territories. Bonaire, as a special municipality of the Netherlands, falls under direct Dutch governance, making such visits significant for discussions on policy, governance, and social issues. Topics likely on the agenda include migration policy, housing, and the cost of living — areas where the Dutch government has faced pressure to address conditions in the islands. The visit reflects continued engagement between The Hague and the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom at a time when relations and local governance challenges remain in the spotlight.
