Niki Terpstra wins Amstel Curaçao race
At the time of writing this newsletter, we have just
heard that Niki Terpstra has won the Amstel Curaçao
race. Curaçao resident Marc De Maar finished right
after. Congratulations to both sportsmen and to
organiser Leo Van Vliet for another successful edi-
tion that attracted many prominent sports persons
and their fan base to our lovely little island.
MCB Kids Golf Clinic at Blue Bay Curacao
No less than 75 school kids enjoyed a chance to get their
feet wet at golfing last week. Thanks to sponsors MCB
Bank and Blue Bay Golf, a team of international and
local golf pro’s and advanced amateurs lead a free kids
workshop. They demonstrated techniques, assisted the
kids in playing and even helped them winning a game
from the pros. 16 year old player Maria Torres explained
the kids how her hard work and devotion to golf paid
off: MCB, CTB and Blue Bay now generously sponsor
her trips to, and presence at various international
tournaments.
Tula The Movie
As we speak, an international movie is being filmed on
our island. Theme is the 1795 slave revolt lead by Tula.
Producer / director Jeroen Leinders attended school on
our island as a child but never learned about the revolt.
He decided to create a movie based on the event.
Leinders attracted a top crew including well known
actors like Danny Glover and Jeroen Krabbé. The movie
will be released next spring.

Starting October 28th, Sunquest in cooperation with Westjet
will connect Toronto Pearson International Airport and
Curaçao on a weekly basis. Direct flights depart and arrive
every Sunday, year around, and take an approximate five
hours. In order to celebrate this milestone, a Curaçao themed
coach line, featuring Curaçao’s scenic “Handelskade” in
downtown Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage City, will
drive back and forth between downtown Toronto and Toronto
Pearson International Airport on a daily basis. Residents of
Toronto and vicinity will now be able to visit Curaçao both for
a well deserved winter break but also in summer and spring.

2013 and 2014 Edition of Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival Secured
Year Round Connection Toronto - Curaçao by Sunquest / Westjet
“Fundashon Bon Intenshon”, organiser of the event, recently
announced that The Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival (CNSJF)
will get a fourth and fifth edition. The 2013 edition is planned
to take place August 30 and 31. Dates for the 2014 edition
have not yet been communicated. So far, no performing art-
ists have been named.
The festival is a success formula for tourism in Curaçao and
for our local economy.
The University of Central Florida conducted an economic
impact study and rated the visitors satisfaction with the CNSJF.
In 2012 The Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival generated an
additional income of approximately 20 million dollars for
the island. The economic impact of this third edition of the
festival was 20 percent higher than in the previous year. For
