Remco and I worked together on a professional base in the Destination Management business since 2006. His enthusiasm for the island of Curacao as a destination is contagious and with his natural charm and likeability he is the ultimate salesman. Operationally he is the man you need when things don't go as planned. He is quick to turn into problem solving mode and with his extensive network he almost always finds a fast solution.
