ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- Dining out in Aruba can be a money-maker for
travel agents who book the Dine Around program offered by the Aruba
Gastronomic Association (AGA).
Each year, the 8-year-old AGA rates the island's restaurants on
a number of criteria in a published guide.
The Dine Around program, featuring meals at 35 AGA-rated
eateries, pays 10% commission to agents and can be booked in
three-, five- or seven-meal plans.
The package is based on an appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee
or tea, along with a service charge where applicable.
Per-person rates are $109 for three dinners, $177 for five
dinners and $245 for seven dinners.
The VIP Gourmet Selection plan is priced at $60 per person, per
dinner. A minimum of three dinners must be purchased. The dinners
feature a multicourse meal from a set menu.
New this year is a breakfast and/or lunch and dinner combination
plan, priced at $199 per person for five breakfasts or lunches and
four dinners.
Complete details on this program, including participating
breakfast and lunch restaurants, are available at www.arubadining.com.
