To celebrate National Dog Week (September 19 through September 24), Aruba is launching Have Dog, Will Travel and collaborating with two pet-centered companies, Wag! and Avvinue. Have Dog, Will Travel spotlights dog-friendly hotel deals which aim to extend The Aruba Effect, a state of being that visitors experience on the One happy island, to pet owners and their four-legged best friends.

Starting today through October 20, 2022 travelers will be able to take advantage of Aruba’s dog-inclusive experiences more than ever. By working with Wag!, the number #1 platform connecting pet owners with both on-demand and scheduled pet care services, and withAvvinue, an online pet travel startup that helps travelers discover pet-friendly destinations by providing professional assistance with booking flights and pet reservations, Aruba is offering visitors discounted expert pet travel assistance for the first time.

“Aruba is a destination that not only allows you to bring your dog but welcomes them with open arms,” said Ronella Croes, CEO of the Aruba Tourism Authority. “Through this promotion, we aim to help pet-owners enjoy an idyllic experience on the One happy island, whether they are planning to bring their companion or safely board them while they travel.”

Visitors who book their pet-friendly travel through Avvinue and enter the promo code “ARUBA” at checkout will receive a $25 discount on an upcoming flight for themselves and their dog. Meanwhile, travelers who prefer to leave their dogs at home can sign up for one month free of Wag!
