Why a Society?

Aruba is positioned as one of the best islands in the Caribbean for dining out. The island has over 200 food and beverage outlets serving all types of cuisine influenced by about 90 different nationalities. Restaurants are constantly evolving their menus as they strive to be among the best in the region, while specialty culinary pop ups and events by hotels, restaurants and wholesalers are trending. As a society, together we can continue to support these efforts and encourage the public to take a greater interest in food, wine and the arts of the table, as this is important for the survival and growth of the hospitality industry and success of Aruba.
