Dominican Republic tourism sector set for a boost

The tourism minister for the Dominican Republic, Felix Jiménez, recently announced a $1bn investment planned for the tourism infrastructure of the region.

Jiménez said: “We are very pleased with this impressive growth in tourism, and the new developments being planned will only improve our products as we continue to welcome record numbers of visitors from around the world.”

The region was recently named the number one Caribbean destination for international visitors by the Caribbean Tourism Organisation. Even Bill and Hillary Clinton choose the Punta Cana area for relaxing sojourns.
