Because of its location near <a href="/wiki/Venezuela" title="Venezuela">Venezuela</a>, the island became an attractive spot for oil refineries. The <a href="/wiki/Lago_Oil_and_Transport_Company" title="Lago Oil and Transport Company">Lago Oil and Transport Company</a>, owned by <a href="/wiki/Standard_Oil_of_New_Jersey" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard Oil of New Jersey">Standard Oil of New Jersey</a> (now <a href="/wiki/Exxon" class="mw-redirect" title="Exxon">Exxon</a>), opened in 1929 near the transshipping port of <a href="/wiki/San_Nicolaas" title="San Nicolaas">San Nicolaas</a>.

By early 1939, a more consistent supply of crude oil was achieved, allowing the refineries to operate at full capacity. Over the next few decades, the oil industry took over as Aruba's primary economic force. </p><p>With the United States entry into World War II in 1942 the demand for aviation gasoline further increased and considerable expansion was done at the Lago refinery soon after the United States entered the war. With this expansion, Lago became one of the largest refineries in the world, only bested by <a href="/wiki/Royal_Dutch_Shell" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Dutch Shell">Royal Dutch Shell</a> <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refineria_Isla" class="extiw" title="es:Refineria Isla">Isla refinery</a> on <a href="/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao" title="Curaçao">Curaçao</a>, and a major producer of petroleum products for the Allied war efforts. The importance of the Lago refinery was well known to the German High Command and on <a href="/wiki/Attack_on_Aruba" title="Attack on Aruba">February 16, 1942</a> the Lago refinery was attacked by the <a href="/wiki/German_submarine_U-156_(1941)" title="German submarine U-156 (1941)">German submarine <i>U-156</i></a>. Due to mistakes by the German deck gunner the refinery was not damaged but three of the Lago tankers were torpedoed in <a href="/wiki/San_Nicolaas" title="San Nicolaas">San Nicolaas</a> harbour. </p><p>The Eagle Oil refinery shut down and was dismantled in the late 1950s. But the Lago refinery kept going until 1985, when the demand for oil fell and Exxon closed it. In 1991, the <a href="/wiki/Coastal_Corporation" title="Coastal Corporation">Coastal Corporation</a> bought it, scaled down operations, and reopened it. Coastal later sold the refinery to <a href="/wiki/Valero_Energy" title="Valero Energy">Valero Energy</a> Corporation in 2004. Its reopening didn't raise Aruba's oil industry to its previous heights although it did revive that sector and continued to be a key contributor to the country's economy until 2009 when it was closed. In December 2010, Valero Energy announced plans to reopen the refinery. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tourism">Tourism</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Aruba&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Tourism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG/200px-Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG" decoding="async" width="200" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG/300px-Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG/400px-Mecury_in_Aruba.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2816" data-file-height="2112" /></a><figcaption>The cruise ship <i><a href="/wiki/Mein_Schiff_Herz" title="Mein Schiff Herz">Celebrity Mercury</a></i> docked in Oranjestad.</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1947, Aruba's government founded a tourist board to explore the possibility of developing a tourism industry.

Claiming that Aruban authorities weren't taking the case seriously enough, her mother and the Governor of Alabama called for a nationwide boycott of Aruba. However, the U.S. federal government didn't back the proposed boycott. Aruba's reputation as one of the safest islands in the Caribbean may have helped it overcome any negative stigma caused by the case. The amount of tourism in June 2005 actually rose by 9% from the previous year. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Aruba&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-IMFWEOAW-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-IMFWEOAW_1-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-IMFWEOAW_1-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-IMFWEOAW_1-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-IMFWEOAW_1-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-IMFWEOAW_1-4"><sup><i><b>e</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2019/02/weodata/weorept.aspx?pr.x=45&pr.y=16&sy=2016&ey=2021&scsm=1&ssd=1&sort=country&ds=.&br=1&c=314&s=NGDP_RPCH%2CNGDPD%2CPPPGDP%2CNGDPDPC%2CPPPPC%2CPCPIPCH&grp=0&a=">"World Economic Outlook Database, October 2019"</a>. <i>IMF.org</i>. <a href="/wiki/International_Monetary_Fund" title="International Monetary Fund">International Monetary Fund</a><span class="reference-accessdate">.
