A "Heavenly" marketplace during ATCA

PALM BEACH - On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, The Westin Aruba Resort hosted a very active marketplace for the 19th Annual Tourism Conference of Aruba. The interactive forum gave travel-related companies the opportunity to meet with other travel partners. The marketplace is usually held in one of the resort's ballrooms, but this year The Westin Aruba opted for a more intimate and comfortable setting-their entire 17th floor. Instead of booths, exhibitors set up in individual rooms and suites. "We wanted to offer more privacy for everyone," explained Westin General Manager Rob Smith. "We also took the opportunity to showcase our newly-remodeled guest rooms and suites, which all have the Heavenly Beds and Bathrooms that are a signature indulgence of The Westin," Smith added.

Exhibitors also marveled at the breathtaking views from the 17th floor balconies overlooking scenic Palm Beach and the vivid turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
