Curaçao Surpasses 400,000 Visitors: What Does This Record Mean?

For the first time, Curaçao welcomed more than 400,000 overnight tourists during the first six months of a year. Between January and June 2026, the island recorded 437,086 visitors, a 9% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This is a historic figure. But it doesn’t yet tell the whole story: how can this growth create more value for residents, local businesses, and the island? Curaçao Reaches a New Milestone The month of June confirmed this trend. The island welcomed 62,867 overnight visitors, compared with 57,413 a year earlier. These arrivals generated 497,426 overnight stays, up 12%, while the average length of stay reached 7.9 nights.

“Ay bendito”: 2 words, 7 shades of Puerto Rico

A child knocks over a glass. A friend shares some bad news. Someone is exaggerating a story yet again. In Puerto Rico, each of these situations can elicit the same reaction: “Ay bendito!” Yet the expression never means exactly the same thing. Depending on the tone, the look in the speaker’s eyes, and the context, “Ay bendito” can convey compassion, surprise, discontent, or frustration.
