Popular "Dine on Aruba" Program Returns to Promote Island's Flavorful Cuisine

Inspired by the successful launch of this culinary promotion in 2012, Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) and Aruba Gastronomic Association (AGA) invite visitors to "Dine on Aruba" once again this fall.

When guests book a stay of five or more nights through participating tour operators,* now through Oct. 31, 2013, they will receive two $50 "Dine on Aruba" gift certificates** to use during their September and/or October 2013 vacations. The popular program allows visitors to experience flavorful and diverse cuisines from more than 20 well-known international restaurants on island.

"Influenced by more than 90 nationalities on island, Aruba's culinary scene is booming with local delights and international delicacies," said Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes, Aruba Tourism Authority chief executive officer. "This program opens the door to visitors exploring an array of dining options, and we encourage 'Dine on Aruba' participants to embrace their inner foodies and indulge in this gastronomic adventure."

Through "Dine on Aruba," visitors can discover Aruba's impressive world culinary tour and enjoy everything from fresh seafood, Caribbean and vegetarian dishes to exotic churrascaria creations and vibrant Italian, Mexican and Creole cuisine. Among the most popular local dishes include gouda-glazed chicken and beef keshi yena, keri-keri and goat stew, paired with pan bati, funchi and more.  

Warm island hospitality, world-class chefs and fine international wines combined with casual and elegant ambiances will once again make "Dine on Aruba" a dynamic cultural experience. The promotion is an extension of AGA's popular Dine-Around program, which offers attractive menu specials at several participating restaurants year-round.
