What is the local price all about?

Antwort

In Europe, your shopping costs what it says on the price tag. Everywhere and always – that’s obvious!

In the Caribbean (and many other parts of the world), your shopping costs either the price you have to pay as a tourist (“tourist price”) or the price paid by the locals (“local price“). It is also clear that the locals do not normally earn as much money as you do as a tourist. So they usually get a much lower price that is adjusted to their income.

  • Quiz Question

    Who or what is Jan Kok?

    Answer

    Jan Kok is the name given to the area on the other side of the St. Marie Bay salt pans. It is located just before the small village of St. Willibrordus.

    The salt pans are home to colonies of flamingos, sometimes very close to the shore, which you can observe up close. Directly opposite is the Jan Kok manor on a small hill, from where you have a wonderful view of the salt pans. The land house was built in 1840 and bears the name of the 18th century slave owner Jan Kok.

  • Quiz Question

    What is the Kaya Kaya Festival?

    Answer

    A well-attended neighborhood festival in the streets of Otrobanda.
    Kaya is the name of the street in Papiamentu.

    In the months leading up to the Kaya Kaya Festival, districts are “cleaned up”, visually embellished and new murals are created on house walls. For the festival itself, which is accompanied by music, you buy a ticket including a cup. In the spirit of sustainability, there are no drinks containers anywhere except for these cups. The street festival celebrated its 5th anniversary in 2023.
