ABOUT US


ARUBA CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
The Aruba Certification Program was launched in 2011 by the Government of Aruba as a training program for individuals working in the hospitality industry. The A.C.P. is aimed to provide consistent and accurate information on the tourism destination product, improving the overall destination experience for our visitors. Participants will be able to share the Aruba story with visitors in search of cultural and authentic experiences.
HAPPY INFORMATION OFFICERS
The Happy Information Officer Program is aimed at providing visitors with recognizable mobile information points that can be approached with any type of questions. With this new knowledge, visitors can be more adventurous and venture into what was up to now unchartered territory. The Happy Information Officers provide visitors with direct information within a short time span by promoting our tourism destination product. This will lead to better visitor experiences and higher satisfaction.
ARUBA EXCELLENCE FOUNDATION
With the establishment of the Aruba Excellence Foundation, the Aruba Tourism Authority (A.T.A.) has made a bold commitment to continue to improve the quality of service in the hospitality industry. After many years of working with different partners for the implementation and management of both programs (A.C.P. and H.I.O), the A.T.A. finds it important to resort these programs under a solid foundation that will guarantee their continuation and further development.
