Aruba Beaches ChroniclesAruba tourism fundamentals
Late May 2020 local health officials declared Aruba COVID-19-free. Since the first case in mid-March, it took about 2 to have no more official cases.
Most restrictions have been lifted and people go about their lives. As much as possible, while most tourism jobs are wiped out due to the ban in arriving travelers.
On Friday, May 8th, 2020, Aruba leadership announced the opening of its borders for visitors. The so-called soft opening should commence somewhere between the second week of June to the beginning of July 2020.
After having announced a significant drop in active COVID-19 cases in Aruba, they announced the tentatively reopening of the borders for inbound travel.
It is hot, really hot on this island. But it is bearable, mainly due to the constant trade winds. Aruba runs on the weather. Weather makes or breaks any tourist destination, just like Aruba’s. This island is lucky to have amazing weather year around.
Most locals find our local weather a nuisance. In fact, most fellow islanders put effort to avoid the weather by staying indoors as much as possible, preferably in ice-cold air conditioning or alternatively in the shade. We “run” away from the weather.
Visitors, on the other side, soak in as much sun-hours as possible, bordering on to catching nasty sunburns.
In this post, I’m diving deep into Aruba weather issues revealing interesting, factual and publicly available information.
