In the last couple of years there has been a growing interest on Aruba for creative industries to solve issues related to the realization of economic, cultural and social value in an innovative manner. The aim of this exploratory research is to thoroughly investigate the
possible economic, cultural and social impact of this potential economic pillar for Aruba. The main research question of this research is how can culture and creative industries play a role as a potential new economic pillar for the sustainable development of the local economy and community of Aruba? This research is conducted as a case study and made use of qualitative research methods. A total of 16 participants contributed to the results of this research. All data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the use of an interview booklet. The collected data was analyzed through thematic analysis, the SWOT analysis method and the TOWS analysis method. From the data analysis, a total of 28 strategies materialized. At the end, the results of this research indicate that diversifying the Aruban economy with a cultural and creative industry could significantly contribute to the local economy, while making great contribution in cultural and social sectors.
