Wilma Gonzalez – MICE & Trade Coordinator

Caribbean

“Curaçao, a Caribbean Island paradise with beaches, culture, and adventure for all. What else could you ask for?”

Her tourism career began at just 18 as a flight attendant for ALM/KLM, where she gained her first taste of adventure. At 21 years old she transitioned to the hotel industry at Curaçao Caribbean Hotel, starting in food and beverage before rapidly advancing in sales, marketing, operations, groups & events. With this broad expertise under her belt, she was ready for her next challenge – joining the Curaçao Tourist Board as MICE and Trade Coordinator for South America and the Caribbean. Her early industry experiences ignited a passion to continue her career further in Tourism.

Swaying palm trees, bright turquoise waters, and island breezes – this is her home, the vibrant island of Curaçao. As a local, she’s blessed to wake up each morning surrounded by the island’s captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Curaçao just has a way of bringing out the best in you. Its energy recharges her spirit and fills her with gratitude. This island truly feels like home, and she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
