HISTORY
Curaçao's oldest global
organization
The World Trade Center Curaçao was conceived under the initial concept of the International Trade Center. The initiator of this project was the developer Eduardo Halabi, with support from Maduro & Curiel’s Bank. Its official opening took place on August 23rd, 1988 and was framed within the launch of the international conference “The great cities of the Americas”. This conference was attended by various international visitors. In attendance were, among others, the governor of Curaçao, Rene Römer, then-prime minister of the former Netherlands Antilles, Maria Liberia Peters, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Baltasar Corrada del Rio, and the mayor of Miami, Xavier Suarez.
In the year 2000, Dr. Vittorio De Stefano became the majority shareholder of the World Trade Center and expanded its facilities with over 20,000 Sq. mts (215.278 sq. ft.) and expanded the original concept of an events hub to a major business and tourist center focused with focus on education and telecommunications.
