Boycott Watch previously reported the Aruba Resort and
Casino has closed as a result of the Aruba boycott. Today, it officially
reopened with a new owner, Royal Resort, and because of a bailout by the
already cash-strapped Aruba government.
The fact that Aruba had to bail out the hotel says much
about the failed economy of Aruba related to the boycott of the island nation
triggered by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The hotel and casino were
not viable despite that casinos generally bring in loads of cash. Not anymore.
Since the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, business at the resort has been
down, forcing the casino to close between 10 and 11PM, even on weekends,
because of a lack of business.
