Aruba to Host PAMAC Cruise Summit 2025

The Ministry of Tourism, the Aruba Tourism Authority (A.T.A.), and the Aruba Ports Authority (APA) have announced that Aruba will host the prestigious PAMAC Cruise Summit 2025. This major event for the cruise industry in North and Latin America offers an ideal platform for destinations to showcase their recent developments. The announcement was made during the current PAMAC event in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Aruba successfully hosted the PAMAC Summit in 2017 and is thrilled to welcome this esteemed event once again in 2025. A.T.A. CEO Ronella Croes, APA CEO Marc Figaroa, along with Patrick Melchiors, Mario Arends, and Monica Bos, presented this information, with welcoming remarks from the Minister of Tourism.

The PAMAC conference is a popular platform that includes senior executives from the cruise tourism industry, both from cruise lines and other industry partners. Organized by the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), this event is exclusively for platinum member cruise line executives of the FCCA.

Aruba has undergone several constructions and renovations in recent years, increasing its popularity and competitiveness as a top-tier tourist destination. The PAMAC Cruise Summit 2025 will provide Aruba with the opportunity to showcase its recent developments, activities, and excursions available on the island, focusing on attracting smaller, luxury ships and boosting off-season visits.

The event underscores Aruba's commitment to excellence in the tourism industry. The Ministry of Tourism, A.T.A., and APA eagerly anticipate the chance to highlight Aruba's enhanced offerings and strengthen relationships with cruise line executives, promoting sustainable growth in the cruise industry and emphasizing the importance of sustainability.
