In their continued efforts to showcase Bonaires dive product and varied topside activities, Bonaire created a Scratch N Dive promotion that will be launched at this years DEMA Show, November 6-9, in Orlando FL.
The Scratch N Dive contest is available to all DEMA Show attendees. To enter, attendees must visit the Bonaire Pavilion as participating prize sponsors will have the Scratch & Dive cards available at their booths. Participants are allowed one card, per person. They then scratch the card to see if the word WINNER is revealed on their card. All WINNERS redeem their prizes by visiting the exhibitors booth that is listed on the back of the card that corresponds to the show day for prize redemption.
Bonaire is always looking for fresh ideas to bring the private sector together to promote the island and engage the audience at large, commented Ethsel Pieternella, Director of Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB). The Scratch N Dive promotion is a fun way to drive traffic to the Bonaire Pavilion during DEMA Show, and also affords us the opportunity to talk intimately about our dive product and other well organized activities that are available on Bonaire.
The prizes sponsored by the Bonaire pavilions exhibitors range from complimentary accommodations, airline tickets, diving, kayaking, island tours, dining certificates, jewelry and more. There will be multiple daily winners on Wednesday November 6th, 2013 through Friday November 8th, 2013
As a bonus, a Grand Prize will be offered to attendees who play and submit their used cards to Bonaires exhibitors upon completion win or lose, for an opportunity to be entered into a drawing to win two round-trip airline tickets from within the continental US to Bonaire, courtesy of the Tourism Corporation Bonaire. (Winner need not be present to win.)

About Bonaire
Located eighty-six miles east of Aruba, the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire offers year-round sunshine, low annual rainfall, pristine coral formations and the most abundant fish population in the Caribbean. World renowned for scuba diving and snorkeling, it is also ideal for adventurers and explorers as it offers a myriad of eco-adventure activities from sea and mangrove kayaking to windsurfing or kite boarding and more. For those who want to kick back and relax, not having traffic lights on the island makes it easy to stroll into town or hop on a scooter or bike to peruse the island at their own pace. Accommodations range from full-service oceanfront resorts and condominiums to intimate guesthouses, small inns and private villas.
For 20 consecutive years in Scuba Diving magazines annual Readers Choice Awards, Bonaire has been selected as the number one Shore Diving destination in the Caribbean/Atlantic. This year, it received 17 awards, more than any other Caribbean destination. It was also voted number one for Beginner Diving, Advanced Diving, Macro Diving and Underwater Photography in the Readers Choice Awards. Most recently, Bonaires Marine Park was named one of the Caribbeans Best Places for Snorkeling by Frommers.
