KRALENDIJK – Tourism in Bonaire is getting a boost with 23 new certified guides. Last Thursday, these guides completed the ‘Bonaire in Depth and Guiding Skills’ training at FORMA.

This intensive course, taught by experienced guides Sue Felix and Brian Albus, consisted of 22 lessons covering both theoretical knowledge and practical experiences. The students learned about the history, culture, and nature of Bonaire and can now provide tourists with comprehensive information about the island’s unique features.

The training, which included both classroom sessions and excursions, aimed to deepen knowledge about Bonaire and develop skills to work as guides.
