In America there is a type of boycott working against Aruba and the great part of the boycott is word perform via internet and via travel agencies there is word of pressure to not recommend Aruba as a tourist destination.
The factor that plays a negative role on tourism for Aruba is the credibility of the government at Aruba, because at America the lack of confidence in the MEP government to place attention on the Natalee case, so that this has had a devastating effect on American tourism for Aruba.
