ORANJESTAD— According to all indications and her own admissions on a few programs in the US, Beth Twitty, mother of the disappeared youngster Natalee Holloway, arrived in Aruba today.

The Holloway mother, who sustains boycott calls against Aruba’s tourism industry, arrived on the same day as the annual tourism conference, ATCA, begins.

Members of the Strategic Commission do not have the key information, but believes that Aruba will give the mother of Natalee Holloway the necessary courtesy.

This is a difficult request, given the amount of negative publicity that this lady has and is giving to Aruba constantly. The Commission is aware of this also, but looks at the importance of showing the same American media that Arubans are courteous and decent people. “We will stay in contact with the police corps regarding this matter, since it is important for them to know her itinerary while in Aruba. We will extend all cooperation to arrive at a solution to the case” said Jorge Pesquera.

But the Commission is also aware that every trip Beth Twitty makes, she speaks on American television and creates a bad impression of Aruba, and because of this he will try to contact Twitty to speak about this matter.

About the question if Beth Twitty planned her trip to coincide with ATCA, where there will be a large quantity of American tour operators, neither Mr. Pesquera nor Ms. Myrna Jansen would comment. However, in any case, ATCA is reserve for official participants who are registered, therefore it would not be permitted that the lady enters into the conference room.

Members of the Strategic Commission also ensure that Beth Twitty is in Aruba at her expense, and that they have no intention of covering any of her expenses.
