WILLEMSTAD – November 9, 2026 – The Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is inviting all residents of Curaçao to take part in the Resident Quality of Life Survey, running from November 10 to November 30, 2026. The survey asks residents how they experience tourism, how it affects their quality of life, and whether the benefits of tourism reach them in ways they can actually use. The CTB is preparing its Strategic Tourism Master Plan for 2027–2031, which will guide how tourism on the island develops over the next five years. To make sure that plan reflects the people who live here, the CTB wants to hear directly from the local community.
How to take part
Residents can complete the survey in three ways:
- Online: visit curacaotouristboard.com/survey for the survey link and more detailed information about the survey. The survey link is also available on CTB’s corporate social media pages [Curacao Tourist Board].
- By QR code: scan the QR code printed in the CTB advertisements in local newspapers.
- In person: CTB surveyors will conduct interviews at several venues and places that residents visit often, to reach a broad range of voices across the island.
CTB surveyors will wear CTB t-shirts and badges, so they are easily recognizable. Residents who are approached are welcome to ask to see a surveyor’s badge.
About the survey
- Survey period: November 10 – November 30, 2026
- Time needed: about 10 minutes

Tourism is part of everyday life in Curaçao, and residents are the ones who feel its effects most directly. Every response helps the CTB build a tourism strategy that benefits the people of Curaçao, not only its visitors. The CTB encourages residents to take part so that the results reflect the full picture of how tourism touches daily life in Curaçao.
