Aruba is once again facing an important national conversation: the possibility of reopening the refinery.
This moment deserves more than quick reactions or short-term thinking. It requires clarity. Because the refinery question is not only about energy or jobs — it is about the direction Aruba chooses for the next 20 to 30 years.
At Go Cultura Foundation, we believe Aruba’s future depends on long-term, integrated planning: a strategy that aligns economy, environment, tourism, labor, education, and quality of life.
We are not short on opportunities.
We are short on a shared compass.
And without that compass, every “solution” becomes another future problem.
