Statistics show a record number of UK travellers headed to the island last year, while internationally a milestone was reached with more than a million arrivals in a year for the first time.
UK numbers grew by more than 12 percent in 2014, topping the 10,000 mark. There was a 34 percent growth in the number of tourists from Ireland.
Confidence is high that the destination will continue to develop its appeal to the UK market in 2015, helped by the news that Thomson Holidays and First Choice are to operate in Aruba for an additional month this year.
Their joint charter flight from London Gatwick will serve Aruba through to November 17, rather than ending its season in October as in previous years. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flies to Aruba five times a week, offering departures from 16 UK airports.
