Throughout his career, he has been involved in projects for the Ministry of Economic Development of Curacao. He worked with the transition committee to help create the Curacao Tourism Authority and was involved in a committee to increase air service to the destination.
Mercera is no stranger to Tourism Corporation Bonaire as he had spent two years with the organization early in his career as online marketing and product development manager before joining the hotel association in Curacao in the marketing division.
"I'm excited to be back in Bonaire now with many more years served in the industry and a deep understanding for tourism in this region," Mercera said. "My objective is to use my experience to place Bonaire in a position of growth as we move into a new age in tourism."
