Caribbean Island Curacao

From paradisiacal dot on world map to Bing’s Top 10 destinations to visit in 2010…

Curacao…hm, I’ve heard that before. Of course, you did!

Remember that commercial back in 2009?
 “A half-million dollars in cash has been buried somewhere in the Caribbean, go find it!”

Well, the exact location was Curacao.

Prior to 2009..
Who, what, where is Curacao? I hate saying it’s near Aruba. In fact, it’s a short 30-minute flight from Aruba.

So finally..
Back in 2009 Curacao was where the money at! A big marketing stunt to help the Caribbean island Curacao gain more exposure turned into a huge success.

Ten U.S finalists went treasure hunting but had discovered that the real treasure was Curacao and not a pile of quick cash.

See here, how a Californian mom became half a million dollars richer after embarking on a two-day treasure hunt on the island of Curaçao..

What once seemed like an act of desperation proved to be the complete opposite. Curacao's Tourism Bureau marketing campaign was an act of brilliance!

The American public had no idea where or what Curacao was. Its treasures were -- get it? -- hidden.

Now in 2010.. Curacao, the self-proclaimed treasure of the Caribbean, made Bing’s top 10 destinations to visit for 2010!

I can only agree with Bing, as Curacao, treasure or not, is my favourite paradise on earth!
