Susan Vrolijk – Regional Manager

Europe

“I love sharing the passion I feel for our beautiful island with our European travel partners.”

Susan Vrolijk was appointed as regional manager – Europe in February 2024. With a wealth of experience in marketing and communication across different roles in the consultancy business, Susan is now taking on the responsibility to promote her beloved home island of Curaçao to European travelers.

Curaçao is so much more than just sun, sea and beach. Once you have visited Curaçao, you will bring home the warmth and hospitality of the people, the colors, vibes and tastes that will remind you of our unique island in the Southern Caribbean. The best thing about my job is the product and the people. We are continuously developing to increase the quality of our product. I personally think that is very important.
