HSMAI Curacao Chapter Mission Statement
HSMAI's mission is to be the leading source for sales and marketing information, knowledge, education, business development, and networking for professionals in tourism, travel, and hospitality.

President's Letter

It’s 2008, an exciting and challenging year for hospitality in Curacao. Exciting because we expect continued strong growth in tourism and the opening of several large new hotels. Challenging for those of us already in the hospitality industry because we must continue to develop ourselves both professionally and personally to deliver on the promise our island is making. This to the benefit of our island as a whole. HSMAI Curacao is there to help. Growth also opens up new opportunities for those who perhaps already work in hospitality, but not in sales and marketing, or who work in sales and marketing but not yet in hospitality, or who are in school today but will soon start a career in hospitality sales and marketing. We hope to welcome them to HSMAI Curacao so they can also help deliver on the Curacao promise.

We also hope to welcome all others working in sales and marketing to HSMAI Curacao. Especially in the absence of other associations of its kind, HSMAI provides continued learning and development for you too. Hospitality is the quintessential global industry and all marketers work in an increasingly globalized world.  The exchange with you and our fellow Caribbean chapter will strengthen us all and in the process strengthen our new country.

Come join. Come grow.
