Willemstad- Minister Cooper signed an agreement with Willemstad Parking Management to oversee parking in Punda and Otrobanda. Following a thorough review, Willemstad Parking Management, a mix of
DMO and SKO, was chosen.
Their proposal commits to reinvesting profits into the City Center. After deliberations, the agreement grants them management rights for 5 years. Installation of meters and modern payment tech is imminent. The agreement also stipulates a fixed payment to the
government.
Willemstad Parking Management will partner with Securitas BV and Flowbird SAS for implementation, aiming for operational readiness within 5 months. Drivers will soon have varied payment options. The Curaçao Flowbird app offers easy payment with cards, while the Curaçao Parking Card allows contactless swiping. Additionally, coin
