Curaçao at the 2019 DEMA Show
At the 2019 DEMA Show (Dive Equipment and Manufacturers Association) in Orlando, Florida – the stunning Curaçao Pavilion stole the show with a mesmerizing Curaçao blue seafloor that welcomed North American and International Dive Industry professionals to dive in and “feel it for yourself”!
“Diving in Curaçao is a million-dollar experience, we invite you to come feel it for yourself!” says the Prime Minister of Curaçao, Mr. Eugene Rhuggenaath, to uncover a World Class diving and vacation destination where conservation truly meets your next Caribbean adventure!

Curaçao makes a Splash at DEMA!
As much as the blue of Curaçao provides awesome curb appeal, these blue factors can be experienced at so many other amazing destinations too.
Curaçao emerged from the DEMA 2018 Show as a truly competitive World Class Vacation and Diving destination that positioned itself directly against other notable destinations.
Because of this, the Curacao Tourist Board decided to make a significant splash at the DEMA 2019 Show together with the Curacao Hospitality and Tourism Association’s (CHATA) Dive Task Force.
“This daring approach to the DEMA 2019 Show gave us the opportunity to highlight unique Curaçao experiences like annual cultural events, food, languages, music, and history while reinforcing the strong private sector commitment to ocean conservation and sustainable tourism…”
