Aruba Unites with Water Sommelier to Encourage Travelers to Savor "Paradise on Tap" Drinking Water

ORANJESTAD, Aruba, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Many know Aruba for its award-winning beaches and turquoise waters, but most travelers don't know they can drink the island's water straight from the tap. That's why the Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) is teaming up with Certified Water Sommelier, Martin Riese, to showcase Paradise on Tap, featuring limited-time bespoke travel experiences.

Both potable and delicious, Aruba's water is made from Caribbean Sea turned tap as it goes through an extensive water treatment process to create Paradise on Tap – so good it received the highest stamp of approval from Riese.

"Partnering with the Aruba Tourism Authority on this initiative is a dream come true. I've tasted tap water from around the world and Aruba's Paradise on Tap is truly one of the best," said Martin Riese, Certified Water Sommelier and Water Advocate. "Ever since I was a child, I've been passionate about water and my mission to educate people about the importance of clean, delicious drinking water. I encourage visitors to Aruba to choose Paradise on Tap instead of bottled water – a simple way to sip in the island's natural beauty."

Experience Paradise on Tap
ATA is also inviting travelers to experience the island's rejuvenating waters in a whole new way, starting with limited-time bookable guest packages. When staying at eco-conscious properties Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort and Boardwalk Boutique Hotel, travelers receive a reusable water bottle to enjoy Paradise on Tap anywhere the tap can be turned on, and are encouraged to relax and let the good times flow.

Make the Aruba Promise
Before stepping foot on island, travelers are encouraged to take the Aruba Promise, a commitment to being an eco-conscious visitor to keep Aruba One happy island for generations to come. The first step? Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it with the island's finest tap water.

"Aruba prides itself for being a destination where travelers can unwind and relax, with an exceptionally generous culture, but it's important that we work together to keep the island beautiful for future generations," said Ronella Croes, CEO of the Aruba Tourism Authority. "Through Paradise on Tap, we are working to raise awareness for the Aruba Promise, a pledge to encourage travelers to be ecologically and socially responsible visitors to the island we Arubans call home."
