In August 2024, Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB)
recognized four visitors as Bonaire Ambassadors.
Leo Irakliotis has been visiting Bonaire for 20 years. He has received his recognition in
the gold category. “I visit Bonaire primarily because of the island’s enchanting dive sites,
but also to relax and visit friends I have met over the years I have been coming here,” Leo
assured. On this occasion, a gold pin was presented to Leo.
Roseanne Nandan was very happy when she was honored with a platinum plaque, the
highest award as a Bonaire Ambassador. Mrs. Nandan has been visiting Bonaire for 37
consecutive years. “The people of Bonaire are charming and friendly, the nature is
impressive, and the food is excellent,” says Mrs. Nandan.
Douglas and Jane Kline were also recognized as platinum ambassadors, but they were
unable to attend the ceremony due to health reasons. The placards associated with their
recognition were presented at their holiday accommodation.
For TCB, Virgy Balentin and Helen Mercera handled the ceremonies and presented the
relevant certificates, pins, and placards to our ambassadors.
