One other month, one other milestone. Whether or not it’s the all-inclusive resort vacation spot of Punta Cana or the golf and wellness at La Romana’s Casa de Campo, the Dominican Republic simply retains on trucking, with Caribbean-leading tourism numbers that preserve breaking data.
That was the identical story in Might, when the Dominican Republic reported just below 850,000 complete guests, a 12 p.c leap over an already-strong Might in 2023.
For the 12 months, the Dominican Republic has welcomed greater than 5 million complete guests (which means cruise and air arrivals mixed), itself a 12 p.c enchancment over the primary 5 months of 2023 — a 12 months that resulted in an all-time tourism file for a vacation spot within the Caribbean.
Most impressively, the nation’s January-Might complete is 43 p.c increased than it was in 2019 — a file 12 months for the broader Caribbean simply earlier than the pandemic.
It was an “extraordinary” month for the vacation spot, mentioned Tourism Minster Dovit Gallardo in a press release supplied to Caribbean Journal.
“When you might have figures just like the one we achieved within the first 5 months of the 12 months, you need to really feel proud as a Dominican,” Collado mentioned. “5,026,990 guests from January to Might, that may be a nice quantity.”
Are you planning a trip to the Dominican Republic? We’d suggest two main locations: Punta Cana, the Caribbean capital of all-inclusive resorts (the place we’re significantly keen on the Lopesan Costa Bavaro on the world’s greatest seaside); and La Romana, the house of the magnificent Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, which simply debuted a glowing new spa.
