They have been advertising and pushing for tourism lately -- they are the main sponsors of a broadcast service called Radio Earth, which currently buys time from shortwave station KCBI in Dallas. Listen on 11790 kiloHertz any Sunday at 1800 GMT (1200 Central Standard Time) to their broadcast, and you'll hear dozens of ads for Curacao. They sponsor very reasonable group-rate tours (the one in December from NYC is in the $425 range for a week including airfare), so there should be some reasonably-priced trips available at other times, too. (In case you forget where the Netherlands Antilles are, they are just north of Venezuela. :-) Regards, Will
